There's no denying that the Sony SmartWatch is priced somewhere in the lower ranges of smartwatches with online prices starting at €130.99 while, say, the Galaxy Gear which with Littlewoods Ireland is going for €419.But even it being at the lower end of t...
Abstract: By the time you read this, an Apple iWatch may be close to release. I've been trying this Sony version of what Apple may or may not launch, and it's an extremely good controller for any Android phone you have about you, so Android users need not feel jeal...
Sleek and comfortable design, Several hundred apps already available, Water, resistant
Bulkier than the first model, Buggy software, Many apps lack utility
All told, the SmartWatch 2 is fun to play with, even if it's still far from perfect. I like how much you can tune and customise the various apps, but I'm also frustrated by how many features are still missing in each one. If you want a smartwatch, the Sa...

Small, lightweight, cheap, Twice weekly charge via microUSB, Good selection of apps
Unreliable in use, No iOS compatibility, some Sony-only functions, Useless without a smartphone
As a concept, Sony's SmartWatch 2 seems to tread a fine line between the simple (like the Pebble) and the overblown and tricksy (like the Galaxy Gear ). The design is solid, if a little drab-retro for our liking, the screen is a useful size and battery l...

The Sony SmartWatch 2 is a significant improvement over its predecessor in terms of build quality and performance, but that isn't saying much considering the original model barely functioned.The device is user-friendly for the most part, and there are sit...
At £149 the Sony SmartWatch 2 is a good value for money smart watch. It improves on the original version in key areas such as design, battery life and showing the time. With plenty of apps to download and use, there's lots of functionality too.Tags:Smartp...

Good looking device, sensitive touch screen, social networking apps, water resistant, lightweight, charging via microUSB
Lowres screen, no camera, no mic/speaker, limited app functionality, many apps only work with Sony products
It's cheaper and lighter than the Galaxy Gear , and it has more social networking apps at launch, immediately making it more useful and less of a toy than Samsung's device, and the subtler style will be a bonus for many. It's not perfect and it's import...

Checking your emails without taking your phone out of your pocket, strap can be changed, works with non-Sony Android devices
Poor screen quality, frustrating set-up, poor battery life, disparate consumer experience, not right second time around, issues with first review sample
The big question: should you buy a SmartWatch 2? The £150 investment won't break the bank, so it looks to be an attractive prospect and one of only a handful in a market that promises to get busier over the coming years. It's just that, at the mome...

Decent selection of apps for email and social notifications, Interchangeable strap
Buggy software makes it extremely frustrating to use, if it works at all, Low resolution screen, Unimpressive battery life, Not fully waterproof
With its decent selection of apps providing email and social network support, the Sony SmartWatch 2 offers actual smart functions, unlike the Galaxy Gear. Its buggy software and poor processor, however, make using the watch beyond frustrating. It's also n...
