Slender design, Decent battery life, No stupid dock, Offline music
Washed-out screen, Lacks premium finish
Sony's SmartWatch 3 isn't cheap at £180, which makes it a real shame that the finish isn't a bit more premium and the screen isn't more joyously vibrant. That said, I like the slender design and solid catch, and Sony's wearable also entices with offline m...
It's a good first (or third?) effort, and a decent active Android Wear deviceAs with any Android Wear device at this point — and this point is a mere 5 months into Android wearables — you have to take stock of whether you need this watch, or whether you j...

If the Sony SmartWatch 3 had a heart rate monitor and a more elegant way to charge up, then I would have awarded it a 9.5. Android Wear still needs more work before I can give any of the watches a perfect 10, but it is getting better and more apps appear ...
Comfortable to wear, Light weight, Built-in GPS, MicroUSB charging
No heart rate monitor, Proprietary wrist straps, Lackluster display
8.0 With the built-in GPS the Sony Smartwatch 3 is the best fitness centric Android Wear smartwatch, but that is the only edge this watch holds over the competition....
Excellent battery life, Comfortable strap with nice clasp, Smooth performance, Understated look (some might say boring), Transflective screen is sharp and readable outdoors, Ambient light sensor, Ready for the future of Wear with GPS, NFC, and WiFi
Transflective screen not readable in dark while in ambient mode, Colors on screen are slightly yellowish, Boring look (some might say understated), Stiff button, Strap collects dust, Nonstandard straps, No heart rate sensor
Abstract: While rumors had already indicated that Sony would launch the SmartWatch 3 at IFA , we admit we were pleasantly surprised to see Sony ditch its platform in favor of Android Wear. During our time at IFA, we managed to get a first hands-on look at the devic...

It was almost inevitable that Sony would launch an Android Wear wearable and we like the SmartWatch 3. It has decent specs, interchangeable straps and is completely waterproof. We can't help feel it's a little overpriced compared to rivals, though....
Great battery, GPS functionality works well, Screen works well outdoors,
Average screen, Bulky design, Missing a heart-rate monitor,
Sony's SmartWatch 3 feels like a very middle-of-the-road product. There's nothing inherently bad about it, but there's nothing that really sets it aside from its Android Wear brethren; much like its name, the SmartWatch 3 is a little bland. There's a few...

Great battery life, builtin GPS, clasp works well
No Heart Rate Monitor, thick band, annoying USB cover
All in all, I think the Sony Smartwatch 3 is a great device.With impressive battery life, a screen that you can use without the backlight (in most cases) and built-in GPS capabilities, the watch would definitely suit those looking for something to take al...
