Very few people know how a smart watch could actually benefit them. 1. Because the marketing on these types of devices has been non-existent. 2. Cellphones helped kill wrist watches. I think if some of these tech companies were smart they would continue development and provide more features. This type of device could create a whole new sub-industry just like Bluetooth headsets just kind of popped into the scene and have now become commonplace. No body knew what they did or what purpose they would have. We first started seeing people walking and talking to themselves and then driving and talking to themselves until we finally all realized that they were actually on the phone. I'm sure you all had that bizarre experience. Well I think smart watches will be slower to adopt until we get real innovation and great emotional marketing behind it.
I currently have widgets disabled because I noticed is slows the watch down and just have Txt msg, Missed calls, Call handler, Calendar, and Gtalk notify enabled. Just the txt messaging feature and call handling alone is worth it for me.
Sometimes the phone loses connection with the watch but most times if the phone is near I get a nice connection for then entire day. I really wish Sony would continue developing the software for this but I kind of doubt it. Sony has a habit of putting out technology and not really following through if sales aren't up in my opinion. I do see a lot of room for growth and I would like to customize the interface more but other then that it's a great first step in what will become the next big thing that's if Google glass doesn't steel its thunder.
Here are a few examples on how I use/enjoy my Sony Smartwatch:
1.When driving I like getting notifications and not having to check my phone while diving. I can choose to respond at a light or wait till I get to my destination.
2.If I'm at a noisy bar I really feel special reading a txt I get. People notice and it's a great conversation starter.
3.You can know who is calling you before you pull your phone out of your tight skinny jeans. For the ladies they will know who is calling them before they can dig it out of their bag.

This watch is a companion to an Android Smartphone and pairs by bluetooth. I have it connected to the GSM version of the Samsung Google Nexus (Ice Cream Sandwich/ICS version). The watch connects to your phone and runs a selection of both widgets and applications. The apps designed to run on the watch are those that are very useful for doing/checking quick things that you don't want to take your smartphone out for, i.e. reading text messages, seeing whose calling your phone & sending back pre-defined text messages, checking missed calls, controlling your music player app, turning your phone's sound mode (normal, vibrate, silent), gchat notifications, meeting reminders, weather updates with detail, facebook status, twitter updates, etc. There are new apps being added all the time.
I really find it useful for things like when I'm driving and I don't want to pick up the phone, i just turn my wrist and can quickly see who is calling (you can also decline from there), or when I'm working or doing something that requires both hands and I have a bluetooth headset in my ear...I can scroll through my contact favorites and just dial from the watch. Or when I'm in a meeting and someone texts me and I don't want to appear to not be paying attention, I can just look at my wrist and read the text and even hit a quick reply saying "in a meeting, let me call you back later."
The watch "face" can easily be attached to different color bands or you can even attach it to other 20mm bands. (I bought 2 additional colors..definitely recommend the gray.)

When I initially heard about this watch, I was very excited. Where I work I'm not allowed to have my phone out whenever I wish to. This would allow me to discretely see who's calling me, or what texts I might have.
I've had this device for over a month now, and while when it works it's great, its flaws drag it down terribly.
First flaw, charging. The device does not use the fairly standard micro-usb port when plugging it in. Instead it has a four pin charging cable that matches to 4 pins on the device. The cable is only help in place by the spring loaded clip that holds the watch to the watch band. Any jostling while setting the device down has the potential to break contact with the pins causing it to not charge. I've found it best to just remove it from the band when charging and even then making sure its actually charging before leaving.
Two related problems with the clip itself are the fact that the pin holding the clip to the device itself has come loose on me twice, though I've managed to slide it back into place, I shouldn't have to. The other problem is the fact the plastic loop the pin slides into is very thin, and looks as it could break easily.
Yet another flaw is the fact the device is extremely sensitive to vibration, and enough of a shock will turn the device on without the power button being pressed. Unfortunately with my job it gets many vibration shocks through my arm throughout the day, thus draining battery life considerably.
It also has the annoyingly frequent habit of losing connection to the phone, even when it is only inches from the handset, I do not exaggerate! This is perplexing as I've also been quite some distance from my phone and it works fine.
Now even with all these flaws when it's working properly it is indeed a very handy device. As mentioned in the beginning, its usefully for checking who's calling, reading texts, and I've also used it for my to do lists, checking the weather, and other things. The most amusing, and considering the tightness of the seating useful use I've had for the watch was being able to silence the phone at the theater without having to contort myself to dig it out of my pocket.
However despite its usefulness I cannot in good conscience recommend this device to anyone at this time, particularly at that price point. Sony appears to have tried to create a useful device at a reasonable price point, but cut too many corners to achieve that goal.
I can only hope if there is a second generation if this device, they do better.

Def needs so fine tuning and some additions, namely the clock faces, should have many more available and customizable. The more apps you have on it the more it drains your phone. Read more
