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

Abstract: The Sony SmartWatch 3 is the Japanese tech giant's third attempt at making a tech-infused timepiece, only this time its latest watch runs Google's Android Wear operating system, just like many other smartwatches out at the moment. Sony's given it a sporty...

GPS built-in, good battery life for standard use, microUSB charging, slim design
Design lacks premium quality, display not the brightest, Android Wear still has limitations
The Sony SmartWatch 3 manages to improve the feature set compared to its predecessor thanks to built-in GPS. But it still falls short in a some areas, making that smartwatch purchase decision less clear cut than the high-flying Sony specification ma...
Built-in GPS for phone-free running, Android Wear runs slick and smooth, Waterproof build, comfortable strap, Decent battery life
Washed-out colours and yellow whites, No heart-rate monitor, Proprietary watch strap
Open Gallery The Sony Smartwatch 3 has the brains of a Google watch, coupled with GPS skills for fitness fans, with plenty of power and decent battery life. But its screen does let it down and it's not as attractive as its Motorola and LG rival...
The SmartWatch 3's biggest strength is its built-in GPS, but you'll still need a smartphone for driving directions. It's also great to see a standard USB charging port. The transflective screen is a good idea, but in practice battery life is no better tha...

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....
Android Wear is becoming the de rigeur thing to have for any respectable smartphone manufacturer (well, apart from Nokia and Apple, obviously) but I never thought Sony would join the party, given its spent so long developing its own system. Well, with the...

Abstract: Sony has introduced its new range of devices, among which include a pair of smart garments: the Sony SmartBand Talk and Sony Smart Watch 3. The latter is one of the most anticipated moment wearables, as the Japanese company has decided incorporate your An...
Packed with features, It's a steal at the price, Slick performance
Washed out screen, Pretty awful looks, Short-ish battery life
This is not a sexy item like the Apple Watch, but it is exceptional value, especially if you're a runner who prefers to hit the streets without a phone. Android Wear is an effective wearable OS and this showcases it very well.For the price you pay, and th...
