I've had mine a while, but still can't find a strap that will let me wear it. Unfortunately the strap that comes with it is huge, and the face is too tall for my wrist :/

interesting but here are my questions......does it have a. just in H.R.M. Can you swim with it? Does it calculate Accurate Calorific Burn? I ask this as an owner of an Oregon Scientific Watch priced at £30 that Does all of my questions....Any answers much Appreciated - Rob :smirk:

returned mine as it didn't seem to work with any apps, turned off when trackers started....tried two different ones both with latest software.

I loved mine, until it fell off whilst cycling. The clasp isn't amazing for cycling, otherwise it was awesome.

Bought this for £85 last Aug and would definitely recommend. The battery lasts for over two days with heavy usage. Initially it used to last only couple of hours but after receiving an update, the battery life has significantly improved.

So you're looking to replace your current watch?

Great watch but factor in a couple of quid for some elastic material to secure the strap. it catches on things a lot and the clasp isn't the strongest.

Its good but GPS aint that accurate.
Its a perfect entry into the wear ecosystem though. The NFC is cool, I can print at work by waving my watch over the NFC sensor.

I found the GPS works well, so long as it's not wet either via sweat or rain. In which case it ceases to function. Many threads on the web about this.

Never been that bad for me, I've had mine for ages. Two days from full charge is doable

Really good watch, links with my play music account and downloads to the watch (4gb memory) new music automatically, used with a pair of bluetooth headphones its perfect for going running with. I have found the GPS to be very accurate for distance using google fit, not used it for strava yet but will get round to it. No need for any other device when exercising . Very have it at this price as well http://www.very.co.uk/sony-smart-watch-3-swr50-black/1458057779.prd?_requestid=155211

Found with mine that steps weren't being counted on the latest Lifelog - solved ny reverting to an older version from March here:
Had mine for over a year and absolutely love it. Got the black strap and metal one. Tried the lime strap and it was rubbish it kept slipping loose. Brilliant watch for the money

I've had mine over a year and it is absolutely awesome. It has GPS, so if you add Ghostracer, you can track runs and bike rides into Strava. It also makes Google Navigation easier as it buzzes your wrist at each point in the journey.
Honestly, for £89, you will have zero regrets. It also lasts 2-3 days for me or longer if I have flight mode on the phone.
Damn, it even has it's own wifi, so you can connect it directly to a hotspot without the phone. If this was £200 - I would rebuy it - it is that good!

Is this compatible with a Bluetooth HRM strap?
