About this deal

Are you looking for a way to make the most out of your smartwatch? Look no further than the Augmented SmartWatch Pro app, designed to enhance your watch’s capabilities unlike any other app on the market. I'm not entirely sure that much of the information is all that useful, but seeing how long you've spent walking or running and how many steps you've taken can be handy, especially as you can also set daily targets.

The 450mAh battery isn’t the biggest but it does allow for around a two-day lifespan, while the integrated NFC and GPS make this a more appealing model than either of its older siblings. Technically, you can play music through this device as there’s 4GB of storage, but getting the songs on there in the first place is a challenge. The SmartWatch 3 is definitely Sony's best smartwatch yet. The switch to Android Wear, however, is both a blessing and a curse. It's an improvement over Sony's previous smartwatch UI, but I'm just not convinced that it's ever going to become the type of operating system that makes the smartwatch something people need, rather than something they maybe-sort-of-want.The SmartWatch 3 runs on Google's Android Wear. And unlike standard Android, Google doesn't allow for any major modification of its Android Wear software. This means that the Android Wear experience is virtually identical across all Android Wear devices. You can read my review of the G Watch or the Samsung Gear Live for a closer look at the operating system's interface and features. In general, though, it is very much about putting smartphone notifications and Google Now functionality on your wrist. The Sony 2 can’t take calls unless you have a headset or hands-free kit and, while messages can be received and read on your wrist, there are only pre-set reply templates for responding. There’s also no integrated voice action or keyboard. All of this means that you really need to take your smartphone along with you wherever you go. We sell watches across various brands, including Apple, the Google Pixel Watch, Samsung smartwatches, and the Spacetalk. View our latest smartwatches here. Although rumours abound of a Sony Smartwatch 4, at the moment it’s still under wraps so, should you buy one of these three older models? The answer very much depends on what you want from a smartwatch and your own personal preferences. If you have a Sony Xperia smartphone, you may appreciate the better connectivity, but if you’re looking for a fully functioning wearable for a similar price, you may be better off looking at a Samsung Galaxy Active 2. As with all devices, you can expect a range of pros and cons. To make your decision-making easier, we have detailed the main pros and cons below so that you can get an idea of what you would be spending your money on. Pros

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 In reality, no matter how good the tech was when it was released nor how good the battery life is, this watch is no longer a market competitor. If you have one and do not mind that it has not been updated, then we are sure you can continue to use it with minimal fuss or hassle. 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. The 1.6”screen measures has a 220 x 176 resolution and the display is always on, making it a lot more convenient. It’s easily viewed, even in direct sunlight. While the 200MHz processor isn’t the fastest, it’s functional and there’s no lag when opening and using apps. The battery also offers a long lifespan of at least two days, even when apps are running. This device is powered by Android Wear and works well if you are not used to wearing a smartwatch. The decision to not update it over the years has meant that the functionality is not what it once was and it is therefore much harder to use if you wanted it as an everyday watch. When it comes to using the watch, you simply tap the screen to bring it to life or cover it with your palm to dim it when you have finished.The Smartwatch 2 Call Handling app is an essential tool for anyone who wants to stay connected on-the-go. This handy app allows you to seamlessly manage your phone calls directly from your smartwatch. Whether you’re in a meeting, working out at the gym, or simply don’t want to pull out your phone, this app makes it easy to handle incoming calls with just a few taps. This model has voice controls, handy if you want to give commands on the move but while notifications can be received, the ability to interact with them is limited. Incoming calls are still received on your smartphone or via a Bluetooth headset.

The battery that powers this watch is a 420mAh and offers a decent amount of time before you need to charge. With average use, you can expect to have to plug your phone in once every two days. However, if you are planning to use it to stay in touch all day, then you will probably find that it will manage around a day and a half before it needs some recharge time. saw the arrival of the Sony Smartwatch 2, the updated version of the original Sony wearable. Though it is an upgrade on the original, this device isn’t the most exciting or eye-catching design. However, it is functional and good value.Sony's only real software additions come in the form of some pretty lame watch faces. I like the default Digital face, as well as a weird Coordinate view that spells out the time on a graph. But in general, the rest of the selections here are neither as classy nor as fun as you'll find on competing watches. 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. With so many smartwatches working hard to look like classic timepieces, the Sony Smartwatch 3 goes in a totally different direction and embraces the fact that it dares to be different. It has a large, square face, rubber strap and looks pretty outdated compared to today’s standards. On the plus side, the SmartWatch 3 has a 420mAh battery, which is just large enough to be the highest-capacity cell we've seen in an Android Wear device so far. Sony claims the battery is good for up to two days of use, but I think you're going to need to charge the watch every night, particularly if you use GPS a lot. Yes, you can definitely get more than a day's worth of battery life out of the SmartWatch 3, but it's probably going to die at some point the following afternoon. 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.
