Not perfect, but really great

Sony SmartWatch 3 SWR50 (1.6 inch LCD display, 1.2GHz quad-core processor, Android Wear) (Wireless Phone Accessory)

Customer Review

I switched from the SW2 to SW3. So was Sony's surface usual and could not befriend me really with Android Wear. The Lunchen the programs is actually using your voice, "Start timer", "listening to music" or "What are 344-444". But missing the connection to the cell phone, I have to start the cumbersome manual programs. In order to improve something, I installed another Luncher, otherwise you would have to: unlock the clock, and scroll the menu for timer - you can, but other installed apps can not be reached, at the very bottom of the menu "Start-App" and then you can select the.

Yes - and the timer runs - then much too small, barely visible.

When SW2 could lets you adopt the display beautifully on a menu, now is not - you can only select the templates.

The display activation is quite nervous - it often comes on when I do not want it. Yes and then the decisive point: battery will last about 1.5 days (SW2 3-4 days !!!).

Since I was able to test the smart band SWR-30, I think it's a shame that you can not make calls with the SW3, because that was really good and a microphone, the clock already.

Unfavourable is also the loading port: awkward rear accessible. No good solution !! Why not charging contacts as in the Z3?

The Walkman app I can not drive at the time, everything goes through the stupid Google Play Music, the app is annoying and remembers not even be the last song I've heard, but begins somewhere.

SMS is indeed completely displayed as a "pop up" - but WhatsApp only the sender unfortunately.

Now for the bright side:

-Design: Despite plastic, somehow chic, the closure is great solved! It is said to soon be a metal bracelet (who knows and why not now?)
-Spracheingabe Is cool: I can even answer Whatsapp with language and it appears that the clock has understood and I can still abort if necessary. I use the insane often (have something missing in SW2)
-IP68 Waterproof - 1,5m for 30 minutes under water - very important for me when I go swimming
-Sprachsteuerung For all functions is almost always good and is totally simple: appointments, reminders, notes ... everything. Principle: As soon as the clock "hell" is (one can shake, tap or lift the arm, then it goes to most, I need only say "OK Google" and then what I want to do For example, "OK Google, how do I get. then starts the clock navigation arrows on the clock and in parallel the map on the phone real well cool !!! - Potsdamer Platz ".

-Bluetooth: The clock has very fast and BT can provide so nimbly with all data that the clock needs (gallery images for example), the SW2 had somehow slower Bluetooth ... So I thought at first it would be WLAN - thanks for the Note

-You Can BT headphones pair to SW3 and hear thanks to 4 GB of internal memory music - without a cell phone, of course.

CONCLUSIONS: Although there is clearly said disadvantages and Android Wear I like only 50% so far, because I think Sony would have something better hinbekommen, but the benefits outweigh so strong that I want to give 4/5 stars for me. Much is SW and can be improved - the battery remains bad - about 4/5.

Update: the clock is but WiFi Ready!

[...]

Meanwhile, I got used to it well and really great and easy to navigate making it. All that remains is the complicated charging socket and the low Stanbyzeit a maximum of 2 days. Watch Faces can be modified with various apps, that's no longer a problem. An hour pool has also survived.
