It's not clear why it should need to (shouldn't it just mirror the notifications via Bluetooth), but the official Mail app only works with imap and POP3.The rest of the watch is okay.

For those of us that live on emails/text for business, we really don't know which notification is important until we see the sender/subject, this device saves a huge amount of time.

The notifications are working perfectly, absolutely no complaints so far

Very reliable bluetooth and notifications

The only con is that I can't clear the notifications easily -- you have to clear them one at a time, which is annoying if you have a lot of them stacked up... when my hands are busy, I just look at the notification and don't clear it.

Overall, the Sony Smartwatch2 works well as a pure notification device

So notification is good enough in my opinion

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

About 4% are important (enough) business/family notifications.

The notifications were great

So I get all the useful notifications I need

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

even though I don't use it for notifications it still replaces several other apps such as missed call notification, battery meter, weather (but only gives weather for the current day), rain alerts, phone signal strength, and control of music apps (for pausing and starting, but without volume control).

The WatchIt app will allow you to send any notification that appears on the top of your mobile phone to the watch as well

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

Mobile notifications (e.g., Google email, calendar, alerts, phones calls) to my wrist are great

Useful apps, useful notifications, an always on display visible in sunlight.

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.

The watch works as it is suppose to when it works but clearly only functions right up until warranty expiration!

Nicely built and responsive touch screen , worked as

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)

He is quite impressed with the Smart Watch and it's abilities as well as it's sleek looks.
