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

Screen offers poor viewing angles when switched on and being used
Abstract: While rumors had already indicated that Sony would launch the SmartWatch 3 at IFA , we admit we were pleasantly surprised to see Sony ditch its platform in favor of Android Wear. During our time at IFA, we managed to get a first hands-on look at the devic...

It was almost inevitable that Sony would launch an Android Wear wearable and we like the SmartWatch 3. It has decent specs, interchangeable straps and is completely waterproof. We can't help feel it's a little overpriced compared to rivals, though....
One of the biggest selling points that Sony SmartWatch 3 has over rivals is built in GPS, which, coupled with being water and dust proof, makes it a handy workout companion, allowing you to leave your phone behind, It's also a slick performer, with rarely
While I was happy to see GPS included in the Sony SmartWatch 3 it doesn't seem entirely accurate. It's good enough to track your route and get a vague idea of the distance travelled but if you need real accuracy you'll probably want to hold on to your spo

Abstract: Which is the best smartwatch: Apple Watch Series 2, or Sony SmartWatch 3?We will make no bones about it: Macworld UK is a publication for Apple fans, and as Apple followers we love the Apple Watch. But it is important to get a feel of what the opposition...

The new Apple Watch Series 2 offers fantastic build quality and is fully waterproof, but if you've got an Android phone, not planning on a swim with a smartwatch and want to save yourself some pennies, the Sony SmartWatch 3 and Moto 360 Sport are fantasti...
Anno 2016 a smartwatch cannot be labeled unmissable and essential. It's definitely a nice gadget to have, but you'll get through the day just fine without one, without ever feeling that you miss something. Manufacturers have realized that marketing a sm...

The Sony SmartWatch 3 is a good smartwatch, but we can't help but feel that it could have been so much more. On the plus side, the built-in GPS and transflective display set it apart from the crowd, battery life is decent and it's sensibly priced, too.How...
Abstract: Sony is no stranger to the smart watch, they have produced a few generations of their signature Sony SmartWatch over the last couple of years. I personally owned the original Sony Smartwatch when it first came out 4 years ago. Whilst it might not be a con...
