Sony Smartwatch 1 compatibility with Android apps

[Malwina]

Hello,

A few days ago I won Sony Smartwatch 1, and I don't know what to do with that device now. I don't have Sony smartphone (I use LG Nexus 4), but it won't be a problem. I'd just like to know, if apps like these available on AndroidPolice (I can't post links, for example - facebook messenger, some communication apps, GPS-supported apps etc.) designed for Android Wear will be compatible with my Smartwatch, or is it rather useless device? Maybe you've got any links to apps for that smartwatch?

Thanks!

The SW1 is useless. You can just sell it and save up and get the SW2

Thanks for your answer. In fact I don't need any smartwatch and just got it for free. I though it will run some fancy apps. That's all. Thank you :highfive:

If you already have it, just pair it with your android phone and install the necessary software for it by Sony (Smart Connect and smartwatch app) to your smartphone. Within those apps, you can actually search for the apps available for the smartwatch like gmail, call handling etc...See if they are fancy enough for you
