Does this work with the iPhone?

JOKE!!

I know it doesn't, voted cold.

JOKE!!*

Voted hot.

*I'm not funny :disappointed:

​Strap a meat pie on your wrist.

But they do work with iPhones though...albeit with less functionality.

​Just what I thought on my wedding day.

Still £79.99 in PC world

Price up to £99.99.

HUKD

Currently unavailable on Amazon warehouse deals :disappointed:

Glad you're over your panic! :man: Do you mind telling the rest of us where you got the student discounted price?

I'm prepared to buy one but I can't find anything about how big the strap is. Any ideas?

you can get this for £56.31 if you have an amazon student prime membership as they are available from amazonwarehouse

Worth putting a screen protector on this?

Same price on curry's so cold unfortunately

Fantastic deal OP I went with Curry's though as other posters recommended as I can collect en route to Nandos :stuck_out_tongue:


Yes it will work have a read of this

Take it this is NOT compatible with an iPhone?

the GPs works great just be wary that If the sensor gets wet it messes up tracking . best using a sweatband for the longer runs. I've had one for a year and a half and that's my only gripe!! highly recommend for runners and cyclists.

PCWorld price matched amazon prime only price

Plus 1% TCB or Quidco

Say no to amazon prime

That's just ridiculous
what an inane reason to vote cold

Yes its called a Defibrillator

I had one.... and I thought it was pretty cool! Unfortunately, I got caught in a real downpour.... and it zapped the screen. SIGH!! Now I'm using an LG R....

However, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Sony Smartwatch 3. Especially at this price.

​I use Outlook app all the time, does it have full calendar functions with meeting reminders?

Great watch. Had mine for ages. The Outlook face is good if you're using the Outlook app.

​Strap a meat pie on your wrist.

Is there any 'Smart' watches for us fat lazy people who don't want to run/cycle?

Panic off I managed to get one for the £51 from Amazon, I suppose they are not worth much more with the amount
of Chinese ones out there :smiley:

Super watch, at super price. I brought it from amazon when it was around 90. Still worth every penny, have been using it for last 4 months.

Strange, I have been using it for last 4 months to track running / cycling. Never had any problem with GPS. I can see all my activities as expected on google fit.

cold - not manufactured by Apple

Agreed, it's pretty poor for GPS tracking. One thing that I've found it useful for is GPS navigation when riding my bike in places I don't know. I was riding around London last year, and had this mounted to my handlebars, and without any sweat, the gps worked really well.

As a day-to-day watch, it's brilliant. I wear it everyday. I now go running with a Garmin Forerunner, but take this with me on my wrist to listen to music using my bluetooth headphones.

Can only agree with this. Absolute garbage, poor quality GPS tracking, has a tendency to hang up and loses GPS signal in the presence of even the smallest amount of moisture.

just about to buy one ,thought id check ebay first one on there £50 buy now ,,so i did thanks op for the info the reviews and comments on here pursuaded me try one

I'm currently wearing the device:


It is also capable of running the 2.0 developer preview.

No Google haven't developed Android P{ay for Wear yet.

these are so pointless. cold

​Just what I thought on my wedding day.

I wonder - will this work with Android Pay?

​I just caved it.. Couldn't resist any longer

Also, android wear 2 will be coming out on this too :smile:

I want one but don't need one.

That's the main reason I'm so tempted to get one is for the running without having to take a phone, it's just the bloody size of it that's putting me off.

​Agreed I got mine black friday last year at this price so I would imagine it would be had this year for less

Great watch, had mine for nearly a year. It's great for running. You can load music onto it and leave your phone at home thanks to the GPS. To be honest I prefer to have my phone out with me so I can use Spotify.

I'd suggest the Blaze instead of the new Charge 2, me and my wife bought 1 each (Charge 2 for her, Blaze for me) and the Blaze is better in so many ways. It has a full colour screen, alerts are great, it has a larger screen (possibly too large for a woman's wrist), and a few other functions (fitness app built in). The fact I can set any notification to come to the watch is great, I can pick and choose what I want to see and new watch faces are being released all the time. Battery is great too ( I usually charge on the 6th day).

Have had one for a year now and love it. You don't think you need a smartwatch until you get one. GHreat for checking email and texts and I also use the calendar alerts all the time.Have used navigation and hiking apps and they all work well. Battery life is good but not as good as quoted. I usually charge it overnight and have never had the battery run out before the end of the day even with regular use

Might be worth waiting for black Friday deals? ​

After the feedback everyone l, I'm soo tempted but is it even worth it? Never had a smart watch before and as everyone is saying, its good for a first watch

Is anyone using the SSW3 successfully as a standalone Strava device?

There was a beta app for Strava and Google Wear earlier this year, but I'm struggling to see if it went mainstream, or whether users are still having to link the watch to their phone and take both out on their ride/run.

Agreed about the gps, doesn't work well at all, I can't even get it to connect to my phone now. Battery doesn't last long with gps on either! OK for first smart watch, just not great for fitness.

Picking one up from Currys at this price and selling my Kickstarter Pebble Time if anyone wants one. Its brilliant but I cant read the screen anymore (ageing eyesight not damage). Need this bigger screen.

Still not seeing this for £51 !

Still a very good gadget, I would recommend to anyone even half interested in smart watches.
I got one last year to see what it could do really, expecting to return it, but it has many possible features you can make good use of, and even though I rarely use it much out and about, myself, I do use it every working day for the vibrating alarm, which is a great backup to my alarm clock.

It's a really solid piece if kit.

Only had mine for 3 months and I love it!

Meant to ship this month Pebble Time 2

apparently starts shipping in early january.

The pebble time 2 doesn't have GPS tracking so it's no good for my needs, but looks a smart watch

When is the pebble time 2 release date?

saving my money to put in a pre-order for the pebble time 2 ..

Is the warehouse deal still there? And if it is can you provide a link please?

nice deal

I've had this for about 6 months. It's really good, but I use it mainly for figuring out how far I am from the flag when playing golf. It's looks nice, but it look fair big in the wrist. I don't mind this to be fair. Oh and battery life is two days and doesn't need long to charge. Hope this helps.

Anyone willing to post a pic showing watch with skinny wrist, sorry yo be a pain but studying smartwatches for a week now and never thought of sony smartwatch 3 until now, was convinced I would have to convert back to Apple, thanks in advance

thanks

​I've got pretty skinny wrists and mine fits pretty gd

You can swim with it using swim.com as its wateroroof, 3x1500m timrs 70 weeks and no problem. Also use an external hrm which is better than the watch ones anyway.

​Wear 2.0 isn't even out yet though?
Google delayed it til the new year.

Any link please?

Mine updated with wear 2 the other day. Excellent watch but wish I got three days out of it.

​that was meant to say I am a prime member! not am I :stuck_out_tongue:

same price at currys and pc world without having to be prone member... am I and is ordered! delivery to my door tomorrow... thank you OP :smile: hot by the way

For this money I'd pick the Sony here over the Pebble Time Steel. A GPS smart strap still hasn't been release and when it comes I think it'll be something like £70, and look terrible.

​texts on phone. doesnt alert on watch despite being bluetooth synced

​Apparently it's getting Android Wear 2.0. Someone on a G+ group contacted Sony about it and they said it was getting the update.

Personally I would pay 125 more for a leather strap! Wtf.

Piece of junk. The one reason I bought it was the GPS functionality which is awful, any moisture (sweat or rain) and the GPS will stop tracking you. I had the moto 360 prior to this and much preferred that.

In theory it should be quality as it eliminates the need to take phone and gps watch out if you want to run and listen to music. However it just doesn't work as it should, loads of thread on about the GPS, sony well aware but no fix, other than to wear a sweatband under it (which works against sweat, not rain).

sorry i think i bought the last one, there is one more in used category for £59 i think, have a look

saw 1 for £59 quid in used on amazon it says very good condition.

These were 99 quid with a spare strap last Christmas, I'm shocked they're still £80 tbh.
They're orite.

Great watch, GPS, loads of apps. If only it supported Android Pay

I want one but I have skinny wrists, was looking at the 38mm apple watch, but for this price might buy just for running outdoors instead of taking phone with me, can anyone share there thoughts on the size of it.

Had mine for nearly a year now - very happy with it. Handy for the notifications - find the timer countdown really useful too. Controlling Spotify from it is pretty cool too when on the train so no need to get the phone out to skip a track, or up the volume a tad.

does this work with any android phone? ie my honor 7?

Cracking deal - paid a lot more 18 months ago

I have skinny wrists and this fits just fine.

The Huawei W1 is a great watch, the LG Urbane 2 is better if you can source one

all bout the s3 gear out 11th

Thanks

Ordered! Thanks OP

Good watch but turn of wifi on it, otherwise it will drain the battery.

I really want the ASUS Zenwatch 3... but still no idea when we'll get it in the UK or what price. Seriously considering this as a possibility for a few months... I reckon it will be summer next year before the best new Android watches come out.

Would really like to try one but spent too much lately :disappointed:

They seem to be doing this Amazon Prime Exclusive thing for anything they're matching prices with elsewhere, and presumably have tight margins.

lucky if i get alerts on mine any more

ive got the original Smartband talk and love it. Calling your mum on your phone so you can chat to her (via the watch) while clearing the house is a major bonus

also same price on curry's. saves you having to sign up for Amazon prime

Looks like a good watch for the money, I'm just waiting for wear 2.0 confirmation before I bite... Whenever you're ready Sony

Hot. great smartwatch.

Really? Impressive. Love the Apple Watch but in this price range the Pebble still rocks and does some things better than Apple's tech. The Sony watch looks great though.

I have this watch. I wasn't too fussed about smart watches but managed to get a SW2 for £30 second hand. I found it was handy to get notifications on my wrist, and when I saw the SW3 for about £60 refurbed I upgraded. Much better than the SW2, and I get 3 days out of it IF I turn it off overnight. Starbucks app works great to pay with, and the Stocard app works well to get the barcodes of your loyalty cards up quickly rather than hunting through my wallet!

Does this work with the iPhone?

JOKE!!

I know it doesn't, voted cold.

JOKE!!*

Voted hot.

*I'm not funny :disappointed:

I had a Samsung Gear S2, an LG Urbane then a Huawei W1 and decided that the little Sony Smartwatch was all I needed.

The Huawei was the best of the rest with a great screen but I wasn't that impressed with the vibration, felt like a pea rolling around in a small tin and it used to rattle in a 'not put together very well' way. For the money, I expected better.

I've had mine about 8 months now. I really like it but my battery life is nowhere near 3 days. I get one day out of it at best - this is partially due to my usage.... I get updates on loads of things going through it. Football scores, goals, bbc news, emails, texts, whatsapp etc The watch gets a lot of notifications. I prefer to do that and have the battery run out often as it doesn't take long to charge.

The lack of heart rate is a shame, for me I will probably upgrade when I can get the same as this with Hear rate and waterproofing so I can swim in it.

As much as I like it, this is more than I paid for it ages ago. I think I got it for £59 from Very using a code. Obviously you can't go back in time and do the same but it doesn't seem a fab price to me.

great watch and great deal

Great find OP. Fantastic watch.

Not quite. It's still running Android Wear 1.0 and I've not seen any confirmation that it will get Android Wear 2.0. That said, Sony are releasing plenty of security updates for the watch, which is still a good thing and an indication that it is likely to get Wear 2.0 at some point.

First off, it's a good deal.
But it's Geek wear. Better off with the new Fitbit Charge hr2. This hasn't got a heart rate monitor.

No its still the current version. Still gets the latest Android Wear updates.

It just behaves well. I really use it just for alerts and the like.

Its a nice extension to my phone.

I've been looking for a smart watch in recent months and it looks like the SW4 is due in the next few months (according to speculative websites with no evidence).

At the Amazon Warehouse price I'd be tempted, but I'd still rather go the whole hog and spend £225 on the Huawei Watch

thanks OP ordered one for £51 quid (warehouse deal) which was orginally £70.36 however with discount (20% off student membership)

I really like mine, had it over a year and still don't feel like replacing it.

Battery life is decent 2-3 days. Plus the micro USB port is a major bonus, you don't need a special cradle.

Great smartwatch. aided by decent android apps.

same price in PC world/curry's I think
