Sony Smartwatch 3 - SWR50

shodan

The latest security patch has bumped my watches battery life up to about  2 and a half days! It's as good, if not better than when it was brand new out of the box and now it is over a year old!  And now my son and my missus both have one..

I've been looking at these for fitness and notification purposes, I just can't justify the price of an Apple Watch.

Even though I've seen the odd video on YouTube of people syncing there smart watch 3 to an iPhone via the android wear app how usable is the watch, anyone done this?

Hi
I have a SM 3 synced to an iPhone 6  and it works ok. Just not all the functions are available compared to an Android phone, but the fitness ( as in steps walked) is available and gmail sync and agenda, timer, stopwatch and a Google function which I have not used. Hope this is of some help.

What about WhatsApp and iMessage notifications? Most of my mobile usage is texting.

No WhatsApp nor iMessage, unless I missed something.

BTW my SM 3 is the older version, SM 3 2B46.

Hey guys, anyone know where you can find black replacement bands? Mine doesn't stay closed anymore, tried bending the clip but think I'm doing more harm than good.

Cheers and happy new year!

eBay, but be prepared to pay almost as much as the watch!

I know it's shocking! Going to see if I can fix it another way, such a stupid little thing has rendered my watch useless

It's possible to buy a 'converter' frame that let's you use normal watch straps.
