Reviews around feature (4.26 of 5)

  • Love the features, once I got used to them I wanted more as a watch being an extension of my droid phone screen on my wrist is an incredible convenience
  • Sony did a good job with this but its just lacking the most important features
  • great product its saves u a few seconds if u dont like pullin ur phone out and just checkin emails, text, or even phone calls its very helpful
  • The basic watchface stays on all the time in this black and white mode and this means it is always easy to check the time, which after all is the most important feature of any watch
  • I also wish that it was sometimes a bit more responsive and that there was a little more documentation on how it works (as well as for some of the apps)

  • I like the price as it is 100 bucks cheaper than the Gear (I have a Note 2
  • This retailer has a great service delver system and a range of products to meet every need and the best products ad the best prices.
  • Waiting on this technology to improve and the price to drop
  • But since the smartwatches have been gaining more momentum in the past year, there have been more manufactures bringing their cards to the table, so pricing has fallen

Reviews around device (4.03 of 5)

  • That being said, the Sony Smart Watch 2 is a neat device that gives you an extension of notifications from your Smart Phone to your wrist
  • I purchased this watch to replace my Samsung Galaxy NEO Gear 2 watch since I changed my phone to a ASUS, and samsung does not support other devices, I should say to be correct , not all the funcion work if you pair it with another phone, So I purchased this watch and the best thing about it , is that you can use a Bluetooth headset and the watch both at the sametime, Thanks to the NFC connection, This watch is well built and is of high quality,
  • It works great as a notification device, so that you don't have to constantly check your phone, especially in meetings where that would be inappropriate
  • Although I only used it for a week and ditched it, it's not a bad device
  • Overall, the Sony Smartwatch2 works well as a pure notification device

Reviews around notification (3.79 of 5)

  • The notifications are working perfectly, absolutely no complaints so far
  • It provides the huge convenience of NOT having to pull ones SmartPhone out of their pocket/purse - slide/unlock/tap/tap/slide/tap - just to see a meaningless notification of someone tweeting how they just began a new stick of gum
  • Useful apps, useful notifications, an always on display visible in sunlight.
  • It has plenty of apps as live monitoring camera remote, fully readable emails and notifications (other 2 are headers only), Pandora radio control, moving GPS maps etc

  • Phone is not compatible and after contacting Sony they failed to respond on their help forums

  • This would be an amazing product if it worked properly and if companies were making applications for it.
  • Overall, it's a fairly attractive product with good potential, but definitely not ready for primetime.
  • A nice looking product, but not all that it is cracked up to be.
  • But bugs and other limitations make it a product that's unlikely to appeal to the masses

Reviews around screen (3.37 of 5)

  • the screen looked nice, it was perfect size for my wrist (I am tall)
  • The screen is a large responsive touch screen that also looks great as a watch.
  • It's not as sharp as the GG screen, but it doesn't matter
  • Biggest complaint - the screen does not stay on long enough for me to read through all the information displayed on the "watch" face (because I also have the latest alert/event and upcoming appointment

Reviews around pair (2.54 of 5)

  • But, unless you really want a smart watch I would advise you to wait for Apple or Google to take a shot at it so you can make a better decision, because the smart watch market is limited as of now.
  • This is a nuisance, but not as bad as re-pairing and reinstalling everything to the watch
  • One M L131L White Quad Band Unlocked Android Phone" from Amazon, and it is pairing well with other Bluetooth devices like the "LG Electronics Tone+ HBS-730 Bluetooth Headset" which I also procured a few days ago
  • I also wish that it was sometimes a bit more responsive and that there was a little more documentation on how it works (as well as for some of the apps)
  • Once paired, the watch has a limited number of apps, waiting for more to come

Reviews around unit (1.44 of 5)

  • It didn't matter that the only reason I lost the watch unit is because it popped out of the frame due to the manufacturing defect
  • Of course the watch will pop out if there's nothing but a thin line of glue holding the plastic unit onto the frame!!!I called Sony warranty at least 4 times, but they all refused to help me on account that I lost the main watch unit.
  • Sometime the unit froze up on me, or there was an unreasonable delay in getting an application to work.

Reviews around cord (1.00 of 5)

  • The Smartwatch 1 used an awkward, finicky proprietary charging cord
  • It showed up with the wrist straps taken apart, the screen protector peeled off and stuck to the manual, and missing the cord
  • It's too short to plug into a standard wall outlet -- the cord won't reach the ground!
