amazon Sony Smartwatch 3 reviews
When Google launched Android Wear, Sony flatly announced it would continue to use its smartwatch software. Today, the Japanese company removed this claim when launching the SmartWatch 3 running Android Wear.
In terms of features, the third generation SmartWatch of Sony is almost no different from LG, Motorola, or Samsung products. The Japanese company plans to provide SmartWatch 3 with a Walkman application along with a Bluetooth headset so you can control your smartphone’s music experience.
SmartWatch 3 still runs the healthy, youthful design of the two previous generations in terms of design. Sony has focused on the durability of the product with a steel back case, silicone-changeable strap, and IP68 dust / water-resistant body. This design makes the SmartWatch 3 a bit oversized, creating an immature handheld experience.
At 1.6 inches, the SmartWatch 3 screen is not bright enough and can not make a good impression on the display quality. Still, it’s smaller than the 2.0-inch screen of the Samsung Galaxy Gear S. Compared to the Moto 360 and The LG G Watch R, SmartWatch 3 looks pretty much inferior in style.
