Does this have a heart rate monitor? I'm comparing to the Fitbit Charge HR :smiley:

no it doesn't. the Sony is a smartwatch with built in GPS. so ideal for running. I guess you can add a Bluetooth heart monitor if important.

I think the two are quite different products, ie the Fitbit is a pure activity tracker that also shows the time and monitors your heart.

the Sony runs android wear, so you can add apps to it, you can dictate messages, screen calls etc. I wanted these features so went for the Sony.

These are great and this is a good price, I have one, the only bad thing is I never wear my other watches anymore!!!

I must admit I bought one and fully expected to have dumped it after a few weeks, but as time as progressed I'm using it more often. I swim a lot and although it's difficult to get full clarification on whether IP68 means you're covered for swimming more than half an hour I took the plunge (excuse the pun) and the risk of the £89. Using the swim.com app, which is admittedly a little buggy, I'm really pushing myself with swimming and the watch updates to the site excellently. I also play a lot of music through the Aux port on my phone in car and find the watch a lot less distracting than having the phone on a dock, I can skip tracks easily. I'm also beginning to use 'OK Google' a lot more often, setting reminders in particular, I'd actually like to try heavier dictating with it while driving for work but as of yet haven't found a great solution.

If you're thinking about a smart watch I'd say this is literally the perfect fit, I wear my nice Mondaine watch when I'm going out but this is on all the time for work and exercise.

My only minor criticism of it is the clasp, I find that if I try to wear the watch playing football it often comes loose and falls off meaning I've stopped using it for football, which is really annoying because I would like to track my running at football the most.

anyone that has one of these , the vibration is soft and crap, if you already havent , download **feel the wear** it will improve the intensity and also donate a couple of quid to go premium and it will give you loads of options for vibration patterns etc

I'd really like the steel bracelet model of this watch, but at more than double the price for a nicer strap is just too much money to justify to myself.

One of the segments on my long lasting big faced Bench cheapo watch from Argos stopped working today - this watch looks like the one to go for.
Just looked around and see that Currys do the watch for £99.99 with additional free white strap - not sure that I would want to wear a white strap.
None in stock locally, could collect in store next day
Would prefer not to shop at Currys.
I'm off for a walk to think about it - though if I need to check the time, I'm pretty sure my naff watch will persuade me.
Hot deal!

Nice find OP. One ordered, will be here tomorrow! I nearly bought a second hand one at Christmas for this price!
