Worth buying it now?

[tr0teK]

Hey guys!
Is it worth buying the sw2 now? I heard that it had some issues at release with the button on the side and the stability of the firmware. Did it improve in newer firmwares? Is it worth using it with the xzu for quick replying on whatsapp ? Is a sw3 planned? I would appreciate any help. Thanks guys ! I am not sure if I should buy one but actually I really would like to. Just want to be 100% sure if its worth.

I'm planning to buy this smartwatch too and chose this one over android wear because it's just so awkward to talk to your watch lol but the question is where do I buy it... Bestbuy suddenly says this item can no longer be shipped to stores on every single store and I can't really find any other stores that sell it :/

I have 2 of these Sony's and as much as they have niggles (hardware and software) they only cost £70 each. I couldn't resist the Android Wear so purchased the LG G Watch for more than the price of both Sonys. The LG is going back to Google.
Pro's and Con's of all these devices so only you can decide what's right for you.
But until the beautiful Moto 360 is out, the Sony will be my choice of wrist gadget.

Yes, specially i think most shops around the world they dropped the price of Sony Smartwatch 2, It may not be the coolest and latest watch to date but it got a lot of available apps, better battery life than any smartwatch out there(except Pebble), Design is one among the best,

All of Android Wear LG G Watch and Gear Live(and maybe Moto 360) they don't last more than 1 day, and both of them require lots of swiping to do something.

I got mine already and it is amazing!! The funny thing is that I went to a random bestbuy store in a random mall and I asked a random person and she was like: oh a Sony smartwatch? We have those right over there! Then I went there and was shocked when I saw that there was only 1 left and it was in the right color and had a metal band xD still can't believe it lol!

It's a little bit too big for me but you can remove some of the links to make it smaller and I barely feel that its there

I saw that the one with silicon band costs about 100 euro here. But the one with metal band costs about 170-180 euro. That's such a big difference.

Please don't buy this watch i've Sony SW2 and also Samsung Galaxy Gear. Absolutely i can say real SMART watch is Galaxy Gear, SW2's only name called SMART actually its totally dumb, if buy SW2 you got only some changeable wallpaper and watch face. But If buy Gear (not Gear 2) you will got real smart watch, you can develop android apps and you can run apps without phone. SW2, except some very limited things nothing can do without smart phone, because all apps installing and running on the phone. But with Galaxy Gear, you can transfer APK files directly to watch and you can run this APPs on the watch without phone. With Gear you can develope android apps and install them on Gear directly.

If you were SMART enough you would've read the bottom line of his post and you would know that he has a xperia z and not a Samsung device so a galaxy gear ain't gonna work

AND pretty much all galaxy gears get sold with the tizen OS on it and that can't do the things you mention and of course you can spend your time on downgrading the watch to android but again something like a watch should work out of the box
