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
The design has, if anything, taken a step backward with the Sony SmartWatch 3. The integration of Android Wear is a step in the right direction but it still has some real work to do to keep up with other smartwatches like the LG G Watch or the Moto 360....
Built-in GPS, Runs on Android 5.0 Lollipop, Supports Micro USB charging
Limited GPS-enabled app support, GPS has big impact on battery life, Dull, ordinary design
Sony SmartWatch 3 – Battery Life And so to that crippling factor that's the most off-putting aspect of owning a smartwatch, bar the Pebble with its E-ink screen. The SmartWatch 3 packs a 420mAh battery, which is the biggest capacity yet on an Android Wear...
Abstract: For a few weeks I have been wearing the Sony Smartwatch3, an Android Wear-based smartwatch device. Like any upcoming technology smartwatches promise new use cases and like in any upcoming technology it can deliver well in some scenarios - and not so much...

The Smartwatch 3 has its quirks as well as features such as its built-in GPS, which helps it stand out in a crowded smartwatch market. If you're a fitness fanatic with Bluetooth headphones, it's got a definite edge over the others. Fitness fanatics will l...
Abstract: The look and feel of the SmartWatch 3 isn't a very big departure from the first two versions. It is still a square smartwatch and with the black case resembles the size and shape of a basic Casio digital watch. The SmartWatch 3's core unit does have some...
Abstract: Much of that battle has been centred on design. Motorola opened a new salvo in the fight with its rounded Moto 360, prompting LG to remodel its G Watch, too. Given that Wear is still a very new platform that has endless room to grow, the burden falls on S...

Waterproofing, Removable chassis easily charged via microUSB, Bright display in direct sunlight, Replaceable straps, Good battery life, Built-in GPS
Boring design, Poor screen viewing angles, No heart rate monitor
Certainly not the best Android Wear smartwatch on the market, the SmartWatch 3 is Sony's best chance at sticking it out in an increasingly high-margin and high-stakes ecosystem. That the SmartWatch 3 can be used with any Android 4.3+ smartphone makes it l...
Android Wear hasn't changed much, and whether you buy the cheap LG G Watch or the expensive Sony SmartWatch 3, you're assured of a uniform experience. The only real improvements that the Sony SmartWatch 3 offer over its competition are a sharper screen, m...
Best battery life for an Android Wear watch yet, and the transflective screen is nice for quickly checking the time of day, I love that the charging port is just a plain old micro USB, which means it's really easy to charge it anywhere, The watch itself d
The SmartWatch 3 doesn't have a built-in heart rate monitor, which is become a key feature for wrist-worn devices for people who are serious about their health. The Moto 360, Fitbit Charge HR and Basis Peak constantly monitor my heart, giving me a much be
Its a tough call. It many ways, it simply performs better than any of the other Android Wear watches. But on the other side, it looks a bit plain, and looks matter when youre talking about something youre going to be wearing all day, every day. The lac...
