Should I buy it?

NestorC · May 10, 2014

Hi guys, I would be grateful if you could share your experience with me about it, is it usable or it lags too much, have too much bugs or something, is it worth to buy or not, I dont want to throw my money? I got XSP a couple months ago, so I would like to got a watch too, I guess it should pair without problem. What is really important to me, is it possible to read whole message on e-mail, gmail app or something like that? Because I wanted to make some notes and read them from my watch, is it possible? Thanks for answers

I've got mine since a couple of weeks and I really like it, battery life is much better than I expected and I haven't got any major issue. With the GMail app you can read the whole message (text only) but if you want to create notes, you'd better use the Smart Note app, it's free, made by Sony (I think...) and the notes are sent to your watch which means that even with bluetooth off, you can still read your notes on the watch.

You should be aware that there's lag on the commands as any BT device. Still I find it the best. I have a SW1 and a Pebble too but it's the SW2 that I use. Best looks, best finish and better usability. I'm gonna get killed for this but the pebble looks and feels like a cheapo compared to the Sony :thumbup:

JUst sold my original galaxy gear and planning to replace it with the pebble but looking at this forum I'm now going for the SW2

Don't forget Tiny Tasks! It syncs your Google tasks (notes) for viewing on the watch. It does require the bt connection though.

Now thinking about buying this too, i have a question. When I play music on the phone, can I actually change the track, volume, etc. directly from the sw2?

yes you can

necr0manser · May 11, 2014

Thank you. Thought about buying the gear 2 neo, but it cannot do this simple task

Thank you guys for help, I will buy it in a couple of weeks with the cheaper band. I need to ask you also, have you faced the problem about watch where his right side fell out of frame? Seen it somewhere on forum i guess.

yep, happened to me, glued it back together with superglue

there's a thread in this areas with pics

Can someone who owns it tell me please does it receive calls when connected to xperia z1c? And another one - i found that it can control the original music player on the phone, but what will it be - sony's walkman or google music? and what about third-party music players, like poweramp? Or is the screen always on so i can check the time without having to press this button on the right? And can i install custom wallpapers on its tiny screen? and, the most important one, can i see something on this screen outside, in the sunlight?

There's an app for poweramp, I didn't test it though, but it's available.

You always have the "watchface" to check time without having to touch it.
As for sun, I didn't have any issue under direct sunlight.
