Nice and if the watch band is a bit too big for your arm it should adjust itself a little bit because it's still a little stiff if you just bought it ( at least for me it did)

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

If you smart enough too you can google and you will se gear still using android. Not gear 2

Whatever. I am pretty happy with the smartwatch 2. Pretty cool design and with the widget hack it's awesome

its a definitely good watch and i admire how sony keeps releasing new features and improvement.

but after moto360 is released, its going to make this thing look like windows 3.1

otherwise, this watch definitely has substance along with style. i cant see myself not having a smartwatch on for everyday purposes, getting notifications when I need it without pulling out my phone. unless i am going on long trips and cant rely on 3-4day battery life

Unless the moto360 has the same type of LCD as the lg g watch or the gear live cause then it would suck real bad! You can't see a damn thing on those watches when you're outside

broke my watch today :(

dropped it on the floor, now part of the LCD is screwed up, doesn't look repairable and since i fixed the loose screen myself, no warranty

really gotten used to this watch, contemplating buying another

but am also waiting for the moto 360, really sucks we have no idea of what it's price will be or when it will be released...

It should be out in a couple months or sooner and it will cost 250. Check out some reviews on YouTube. It's huge and gaudy and only does notifications and Google now. I'd stick with the sw2, but one thing I will say about the 360 is it has a nice thin bezel.

'couple of months or sooner' could be in a week or a couple of months :)
then again, i'm in the netherlands so it might not be released here for quite some time longer, we can't even get the Gear Live yet

the Moto 360 does look like a regular watch though, which i like
and i will want to see it in person first, my wrists aren't that big either

i'm using my SW2 almost exclusively for notifications, no running or whatever...

Don't forget the real purpose of the watch too. Checking the time and date and yea even weather without taking your phone out of the pocket (in my case the Sony Xperia Z Ultra). The notifications stuff is pretty much bonus stuff. Still cheaper than some other watches. I like this watch a lot. I love it how good you can see on it without having to turn it on even if the sun is shinning like hell. Oh and let's not forget, Dat design :)

Sony smartwatch2 has really got better now days, a lot of watchfaces have come out recently. Most of the good stuff came from good guys (and girls) on this forum.

One area where the SW2 shines is the widgets on the watch face. Compare that to all other watches and it rules. The metal band looks good and I feel lost without it. I know you already bought it. Get xposed and run the widget overlay module. Read up on Tasker and integrate that into your daily life then you truly live on the precipice of technology. Just my five cents.

I already use the modified sw2 and smart connect app for overlapping widgets on the watch. It's awesome how I can get every information I want and need on my watch now :)
