Is Android Wear useful yet?
Expensive
Display isn't particularly vibrant
MicroUSB port an annoyance to access
Protective grommet feels flimsy
Omission of heart rate sensor
No heart rate monitor
Thick band
Unimaginative stock faces
Its screen is pretty awful
With poor colours and viewing angles. Its plain
Square design makes it much less stylish than the LG G Watch R and it doesn't have a heart-rate monitor built in
Screen offers poor viewing angles when switched on and being used
Attractive desig, Good battery lif, Built-in micro USB charging port
Built-in GPS only works with a few app, Expensiv, Limited app selectio, Confusing OS
The Sony SmartWatch 3 is the first Android Wear device with built-in GPS, but you can't do enough with it. Sony has more experience than any other company in creating smartwatches, having released its first connected wrist piece, the Live View,...

Its screen is pretty awful, with poor colours and viewing angles. Its plain, square design makes it much less stylish than the LG G Watch R and it doesn't have a heart-rate monitor built in
Although its ability to use GPS to track your run is handy, its poor screen, uninspiring design and lack of a heart-rate monitor means the SmartWatch 3 doesn't impress over its more luxurious Android Wear competitors....
Abstract: Thinking about picking up a new smartwatch for the new year? iOS users have to wait a while before the Apple Watch hits store shelves, but owners of Android phones already have some compelling choices available.Google's Android Wear platform has expanded ...
Slender design, Decent battery life, No stupid dock, Offline music
Washed-out screen, Lacks premium finish
Sony's SmartWatch 3 isn't cheap at £180, which makes it a real shame that the finish isn't a bit more premium and the screen isn't more joyously vibrant. That said, I like the slender design and solid catch, and Sony's wearable also entices with offline m...

If the Sony SmartWatch 3 had a heart rate monitor and a more elegant way to charge up, then I would have awarded it a 9.5. Android Wear still needs more work before I can give any of the watches a perfect 10, but it is getting better and more apps appear ...
Comfortable to wear, Light weight, Built-in GPS, MicroUSB charging
No heart rate monitor, Proprietary wrist straps, Lackluster display
8.0 With the built-in GPS the Sony Smartwatch 3 is the best fitness centric Android Wear smartwatch, but that is the only edge this watch holds over the competition....
Excellent battery life, Comfortable strap with nice clasp, Smooth performance, Understated look (some might say boring), Transflective screen is sharp and readable outdoors, Ambient light sensor, Ready for the future of Wear with GPS, NFC, and WiFi
Transflective screen not readable in dark while in ambient mode, Colors on screen are slightly yellowish, Boring look (some might say understated), Stiff button, Strap collects dust, Nonstandard straps, No heart rate sensor
