Sony Mobile SWR50 SmartWatch 3 Fitness and Activity Tracker Wrist Watch Compatible with Android 4.3+ Smartphones - Black

Product Information

The good news is that you will at least get notifications from all your apps, even if you can't always respond to them from your wrist and just being able to see what a notification is can be handy, as it's not always going to be something that needs immediate attention anyway. The Spacetalk Adventurer has no social media or open internet in a bid to enhance your littleone's safety. Connect to your child with the Spacetalk App and control their watch from the app.

Of course even once you've got the music there you'll need a pair of Bluetooth headphones to listen to it.

Sony has popped a relatively mediocre 1.6-inch, 220 x 176 TFT LCD display in the Smartwatch 2, which is no where near as detailed or bright as the AMOLED offering in the Galaxy Gear, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The display has a number of brightness settings and can pump out quite a lot of light at its brightest, but auto mode does a decent job of regulating it. It's also always on, unless you deactivate that feature. As standard it will dim but still be readable when not in active use, while tapping on it, raising your wrist to your face or receiving a notification will cause it to light up.

Measuring 42 x 41 x 9mm the Sony Smartwatch 2 isn't particularly overbearing and while it may be a tad bigger than your current time piece, your wrist won't feel swamped. The SmartWatch 3 is powered by a 1.2GHz quad-core ARM Cortex A7 processor and 512MB RAM, so it performs on par with other Android Wear devices. It also has 4GB of storage, 2.5GB of which are available to users out of the box.

On the left is a covered microUSB port to allow you to charge to the Smartwatch 2, with the flap obviously being a vital part of making the watch waterproof. Finally, one of my favorite aspects of the Smartwatch 2 Call Handling app is how customizable it is. You can choose which notifications come through directly to your watch and even set different vibration patterns for specific callers. All these options ensure that managing calls has never been easier or more personalized than with the Smartwatch 2 Call Handling App! 3. Battery Notifier for SW2

Samsung Galaxy watches

If the watch is not paired to a compatible Samsung phone then you will not be able to make calls or receive calls or texts via the watch. But it's a decision that I welcome. Android Wear is still finding its footing and with Sony jumping into the mix can only be a good thing. Google Play is currently home to more Android Wear apps now than when it launched in the summer, but this time around I only saw 17 additions from when I reviewed the G Watch R over a month ago, bringing the total count up to 193. That's a decent amount of apps, but it doesn't suggest that Android Wear development is necessarily spreading like wildfire.
