My smartphone rests mostly in the bag and should nevertheless times a message come, or a call, I can check with a quick look, what it is, take the call or reject.
One great thing and the SmartWatch can thanks to abundant apps much more. This will hopefully be expanded continuously by Sony, so the SmartWatch long stays exciting and keeps news are ready!
You remember, I am so very excited! The best thing about the "clock" is that the technique actually works!
If interested, please read my review in detail:
---- Materials and workmanship ----
True to the Xperia smartphones, the SmartWatch 2 (SW2) with fine glass and aluminum frame. Looks good, does not carry on too thick and is not very hard at the wrist.
The silicone bracelet was a good choice. I sweat not including, it can be adjusted tightly enough (have rather narrow wrists) and looks classy.
At the processing me not fault noticed. In earlier review a "wobbling" of the Power button is described, which I can not confirm at my.
Very valuable, very noble, just great!
---- Display ---
The Sony here and there has a few small weaknesses with the display, or the brilliance is not always perfect, I already know from my Z and Z1. So not brilliant and the SW2 with the radiant-most display. There are better and more beautiful. The Sony but is very attractive. It looks good! Really good!
The touch sensitivity is high, so you can use the small icons of the apps well. Have more "sausage" -finger, but come anyway very well with it.
Only the Tap to it aufzwecken, works on display is not optimal, so I'd bet more on the edge and use the same as the power button.
The time can be read very good even without added backlight on.
---- Apps ----
About the diversity I was surprised, and about the fact that I really even use most apps !!! These need to be but previously downloaded to your smartphone and install automatically on the SW2.
---- SMS ----
You can read the text completely! Super! Once received from a smartphone, the SW2 is lit, hums discreetly and you can read the message immediately! It is possible to send fixed SMS messages and smileys.
---- Email ----
I use the push function, which unfortunately does not work with my Z1 and the Xperia mail program. Super, perhaps because I had bought the SW2 yet ?!
Googled a bit and found that it works very well with Gmail (you need to anyway play goals). Emails will be reported at the entrance and you can read them immediately. The font is small but very sharply defined, with a good contrast. No Problem!
---- Others ----
Calculator, flashlight, calendar, missed calls, camera app (more on that), alarm clock, stopwatch, etc.
Especially good, I find the camera app.
One can "remote control" the camera of the smartphone with the SW2. In other words, the smartphone may be a little further away (as far as Bluetooth goes) and the image is displayed on the SW2. It is even possible to take a photo with it. What for? Well, I can see what my cat does so when the room is alone :-)). Each mischief will be recorded.
---- Bluetooth and NFC ----
Either one uses NFC to activate, or Bluetooth. That although NFC, but because the phone is in a thick envelope, I just only use Bluetooth.
For the first time enable smartphone and SW2 via Bluetooth, yes, and more intuitive.
The range is quite good. I have not measured it, but so about 8 feet + -, wall etc. the connection remains stable. Once it breaks off, vibrate the SW2. When approaching his smartphone will connect automatically !!!! rebuilt.
Just perfect !!!!
Conclusion ---- ----
I'm sorry that my review seems so confused and maybe a little glorifying. But I just love my new, meaningful toys. What's toys ?! It is a practical, well-designed "Accessory".
A chic clock, which can practically everyday appearance by changeable dials, different. And the SmartWatch 2 helps my emails, SMS, calls to have a better view.
Advantage: You do not have permanently hand the smartphone.
Disadvantage: Is not, I need it just :-)
From my SW2 receives a buy recommendation. I have not regretted the little more than 100 euros! One can truly say:
"Sony at its best"!
PS: Screen Protector makes sense, so that one has long joy of SW2!
