Built-in GPS is ideal for runners and other athletes, WiFi and NFC make this more future-proof than other Android Wear devices, Relatively long battery life, Display is easy to read in direct sunlight
Drab design, Screen isn't as vibrant as on some other smartwatches, Not many Android Wear apps currently make use of the GPS, WiFi or NFC
Sony's latest smartwatch won't be for everyone, what with its dull design and muted screen. Still, this is currently the only Android Wear device with a built-in GPS radio, making it a smart choice for runners and other athletes interested in tracking th...

Built-in GPS, Bluetooth headset connectivity, Secure clasp
Unreliable display, No heart-rate tracking, Not intuitive, Gets dirty easily
The Sony SmartWatch 3 has all of the makings of a stellar fitness wearable, but it falls short of perfection in many ways, especially when it comes to the display...

Built-in GPS only works with a few app, Expensiv, Limited app selectio, Confusing OS

The Sony SmartWatch 3 has built-in GPS to track your workout without needing your phone. It's waterproof, has a built-in USB port for charging without a dock and runs Android Wear smoothly
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....

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...
It's a good first (or third?) effort, and a decent active Android Wear deviceAs with any Android Wear device at this point — and this point is a mere 5 months into Android wearables — you have to take stock of whether you need this watch, or whether you j...

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 ...
