looks good at this price. but wonders what's in store round the corner when Google release version 2 of android wear.

as sony havent announced a replacement I would be reasonably confident. Even without it is a fairly good buy at that price, miles better than a fitbit. The only thing it is missing is a HRM and to be honest the wrist ones are indicative and this pair with a bluetooth hrm and headphones for phoneless runs. It is also waterprooof and records your swims with swim.com, golf swing analysis etc..

I'd like this but with my girly wrists it would look huge - like a wall clock on my arm.

I have thin wrists and it really doesn't look big on, the moto 360 looked bigger on.

I too am waiting for a normal sized watch, matchbox strapped to my wrist no thanks!

But this is a good deal and this is a deal site...voted hot!

Got for my wife and I from Amazon when reduced before Christmas. Its brilliant For £70.

I got one for Xmas. Can't go wrong at this price. Lots of apps, pairs with your phone, has built in GPS. Can play music via Bluetooth headphones so you can go for runs without have to worry about your ipod earphone cables.

got one a month or so back for 70 quid. it's a fantastic buy and if you don't like it then sell it on and recoup most of your money

This is still a great smartwatch, especially at this price.

Now that Fitbit have violently murdered Pebble, this looks like the best value proper smartwatch, though the Martian Notifier is great if you're only interested in notifications

Seen as though it has NFC does it work with Android Pay?

Android Wear 2.0 is scheduled to be released for it.

Great watch, though I bought the white strap as the black picks up the smallest amount of dust and fibres.

seanmckenna to simont_space

hope you are right, but where did you see that confirmed?

Sorry guys, Wear 2.0 isn't coming to the SW3

No Android Wear 2.0 because it's not on that list.... ?!?!?! Surely it's absence from the list confirms nothing either way? in the other hand I've seen posts on various platforms by Sony CS confirming it would be upgraded.

I got one from currys with an extra strap for £90,great for listening to music via Bluetooth headphones,no need to take my phone when I go for a run,gps is good also.

Ordered, plus got extra £25 off for new account £52 delivered is a bargain with or without 2.0

Got it for 69 from curry's when on offer. Overall a good watch and excellent value for money. The most disappointing thing, and this probably applies to most smart watches, is the battery life. Even after turning off WiFi and adjusting brightness, etc I find the battery goes very quick. Even sometimes when you turn on aeroplane mode after having used GPS the battery appears to durian quickly. I also get the odd random reboot

Sony Customer service emailing people, posting on Twitter saying it was coming early 2017. However lately someone got a reply from Sony saying it's not coming and the list of devices as published by various news sources don't have SW3 listed as a device receiving it so I'm now of the opinion we won't get it.

I'm not too bothered though. It's still a pretty good watch, use mine with BT headphones when running and GPS tracking so I can leave my phone at home. Also pretty good for controlling Hue Lights with IFTTT Do Buttons. Also handy for taking quick notes and setting reminders.

27 Dec 16 #20

I've not seen it in any of the lists recently published. Bonus if it comes...

I have this watch and it's very good indeed. Yes, battery life could be better (I get about a day and a half out of mine), but it uses the micro USB charging cable so it's pretty versatile charging wise.

Hello - can you reply to notifications EG email text messages etc. Also, can you make and receive calls and browse the Web. Thank you

Topper1900 to Sweetcheekstreets

27 Dec 16 #28

You can do everything on the list apart from browsing the web would surely be a bit difficult on such a small screen?

I can only buy it posted so extra cost ? can you not click and collect

anthonyduffy526

27 Dec 16 #29

I did download an app which allowed you to surf the web. It wasn't too bad really, but the free version only allowed you to view the BBC website without forking out for the full version. It was called Web Browser for Android Wear.

You can't make phone calls but can send/reply to text messages. I'm not missing this feature though.

I bought one in june for about £70. Great watch. I remember seeing a link somewhere for a fob type surround which allowed you to use any xx mm strap. can't find link now. I get 2 full days battery and it charges very quickly. perhaps a little large on my skinny wrists but some of my regular watches are too.

KXU46 gives you £30 Discount so £46 for this watch

Just opened a Very account with the above £30 discount. It will be delivered direct from manufacturer so £3.99 charge payable.

Any links for the metal strap for this watch? Seems impossible to buy unless happy to be ripped off by someone on eBay.

xfirebladex to chrisbenwalker

27 Dec 16 1 #40

I bought this strap:
Ritche Black Stainless Steel Strap 22mm
3D Printed SWR50 holder

So about £25 all told and I really like it. The adaptor works really well and being able to swap out 22mm bands is really useful. The black silicone wasn't quite fancy enough for parties at the Stark residence.

nrtruelove to chrisbenwalker

27 Dec 16 #41

I ordered a 3D printed case so you can use any strap with the watch. Great price and comes in a range of colours. http://www.shapeways.com/product/DPJ3JC5AF/sony-smartwatch-3-adapter-24mm?optionId=57778277

brill deal with the 30 discount! thank you. I ordered one without really looking at it. I hate hukd! I did check it could be sold for at least aa much on eBay in case I don't like it though.

tonnes on xda about it (and they don't know yet if it will get AW2.0)

Voyager to Darius

28 Dec 16 1 #49

Code working for a new account with credit order. However collect+ option not available and instead had to pay for £3.99 delivery. £46..98 overall...which is not bad :smiley:

flintstone to Darius

30 Dec 16 1 #59

you need to apply for Very's credit and purchase it via the credit

just done it myself..will pay it off once I've received the watch

iEimis

27 Dec 16 #46

Most likely won't get android wear 2 seen as though it was released in 2014, and moto 360 1st gen released in 2014 is not getting it either. Nonetheless great price if you can get it for £46.

iEimis

27 Dec 16 1 #47

Free delivery with collect+ but £30 is being applied to account.

Companies say anything to sell. technical services say anything when they know nothing. History and reputation is what you need to look at, Sony have a guaranteed 6 month software support for most devices and its actually more like 12-18 months, then that's it, yes, that's it. I would be surprised if sony could afford or spare staff to do the basics of keeping most of its range updated. Its the reason why Sony have gone from being a powerhouse of a phone company challenging Nokia and Apple, to a joke of a company (like Nokia) now lagging behind Motorola and Huawei.

If this was £60 or less, or if it was going to be supported, I would vote hot and buy one. Otherwise its like the same thread posted before the shopping hype, freezing cold.

Does it work with iPhone?

tuna89

28 Dec 16 #54

I've owned one of these for about 6 months and they're "alright".

with minimal use you'll likely get a day or two at best before it'll die; the proprietary wrist-strap that comes with it is only replaceable via Sony (they cost £30 each, almost half the cost of the unit itself...)

Also, my strap is already weakened / loosens occasionally (and I'm not in the slightest too aggressive or overly 'active' with my watch, no rock climbing or potholing that's for sure!).

I bought mine from Ebay for £60 and honestly, I wouldn't recommend paying anymore (especially with Googles relaxed attitude towards Android Wear updates etc)

as I said they're "alright" but if someone offered me £30 for mine right now I'd take them up on the offer lol. :smirk:

TonyLeMesmer

28 Dec 16 #55

Might give it a go at £45, just to see what Android Wear is like really.

si7verwolf

28 Dec 16 #56

Great watch for android - but if you're iOS forget it!

Topper1900

28 Dec 16 #57

Would £10 less really make that much difference, if you want a decent smartwatch with GPS there's nothing else around for less than £100?

If the SWR50 doesn't get the android wear 2 update then it will all be down to sony as the specs of the watch match alot of those which are officially confirmed as getting the update.

Ronin474

What are very like to buy from safe/annoying etc ?
Also to get the discount you have to buy on credit or something ?
Could anyone give me a bit more info cheers

spruceyb

Majority of ones confirmed and with dev previews are Snapdragon devices, a few are Intel powered and one lone Mediatek device.
The Sony has a Broadcom SOC, which to be compatible with Android Wear 2.0 might need work from Broadcom, so it's not really down to Sony.

I think Sony would like to release Android Wear 2.0 for it but might have to wait for something like drivers from Broadcom which is probably why they haven't made an official statement about it.

The Sony Smart Watch 3 has a Snapdragon 400 processor just like most of the other watches. https://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/legal/testresults/archive/smartwatch-3-swr50/#most-advanced if you go down to the bit that says "World’s most advanced Android™ Wear smartwatch¹" it states it runs on the snapdragon 400 series

jordanc93

1 Jan 17 #64

Looking into it further seems to be alot of conflicting information online. Sony link states snapdragon 400 but then an online teardown shows broadcom so all very confusing.
