What's great about it: Easy to use, great software options, affordable price.
What's not so great: Not Gorilla Glass or Sapphire
After shopping and comparing Samsung's and Pebble's smartwatch, I bought Sony's smart watch 2. The Samsung watch only paired with Samsung devices and although attractive screen, the watch band was uncomfortable. Samsung's watch was too gimmicky and having a camera was overkill. The Pebble Smart Watch was too clunky and the software, although plentiful and independently developed was primitive.
The Sony Smart Watch 2 has been a great choice. It has a simple, easy to use interface and setting it up to sync with my Android mobile phone was easy and intuitive. I blue tooth paired it with an HTC One and also used the NFC quick connection as described in the directions. The software selections in the Android Market is growing and the current selections bring a lot of utility to the smart watch. The ability to see and respond to phone calls and texts without taking out the phone is great for discretion in the workplace. The software allows editable responses as well as text as you go. Some software is free, others are a few dollars... What I have found useful : Calendar, Smart Camera, Calculator, Wristin (handles notifications), Power Amp (music controller), Smart Notes, Weather, Endomondo (run tracker).
Battery life is 3-4 days and charges with an included micro USB cable in about 1/2 hour. The standard stainless steel watch band is rugged yet comfortable and is easily changeable with a standard watch band. I recommend using the standard watch face choices and not the third party software available on the Android Market. The reviews of the third party watch faces state that they drain the battery too fast. The watch Is water resistant, not waterproof. I wish the watch had either Gorilla Glass or Sapphire glass but I am using a scree protector found on Amazon. The watch is a great value at it's current price.
