Just ordered a Sony SmartWatch - excited

[Kolma]

Going to be pairing it with my HTC Evo 3D:highfive:
Sony site says it doesn't work but everywhere else says it does

I know to go ahead and buy this here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alk.k9
But is there anything else I should go and get for it?

Also anyway to get custom watch faces without them being widgets? I don't want one that battery drains.

There's not other smartwatch faces just the few than Sony provides. I recommend you WatchIt! For all notifications be available on your watch.

There are a few watch faces that come with the watch. Anything outside of that selection will drain your battery well enough since it will eb running as a widget or an app. Sony wont let the custom watch faces replace the stock one.

That's what I figured.. Hopefully something changes with the watch being open now.
But I will just stick with what it has when I get it.

My Watch came in the mail today! been using it for a couple hours and I love it!
Only have 2 issues with it.
1. is a known problem the double tap to on, not a huge deal since I'm used to pressing a button to turn on watch (previous watch was Virtue's Last Reward Watch)
2. Reading emails/notifications on watch doesn't mark them as read. anyone know a way around this? Specifically for gmail.

Mine is coming right on my birthday... Can't wait to check it out... The Sony website says that my phone is compatible....
But I'm afraid..
I rooted my phone and flashed a custom cm10.1 ROM. Will it still work?... My phone has stock GB... No ICS+ support.. So will my watch work with the custom cm10.1 ROM or should I go back to stock GB for it to work? Pls answer...

I currently use Sony smartwatch with my tab mounting cm10.1
Before I used with standard stock ROM GB 2.3.6 without much problems. When I move to cm10.1 I was very disappointed to discover that the watch was continousely disconnected after few minute of regular connection It seemed the bluetooth stack was gone in deep sleep after few minutes the tab entered in standby modality. Finally I solved with a nice utility in the playstore named "bluetooth keep alive". Basically it continousely wake up bluetooth maintaining the bluetooth connection active. With this utility installed my smartwatch si abile to maintain a stabile connection with my tag falso when it goes in atandby mode. Unfortunately the program it si notte free but at least in my case solve the problem so it is woth to consider thia option in case you got similar problem.

I don't know much about the e-mail notification part. For the double tap, here's what I like to do to fix that. Install an app called smart alarm. Basically it makes your watch use the sensors on it to detect your sleeping. Turn the app on, go into the settings and turn the alarm on. Then turn the alarm off, turn the app off. Every time I do this, it seems to make the watch respond properly to taps again. I wear mine on a security badge lanyard around my neck and I used my thumb to "pop" it like a bass player would use his thumb. Every time I do those steps with smart alarm, it's like a little kick to the watch to play nice again.
