Nice First Smartband

Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2016

Works just as expected. Battery life isn't what I would think for an e ink screen but this is a good entry into the smart wearable market, especially for sony fans.

Nice, Rugged Band but Sony Android App is buggy

Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2015

I bought this gadget with great personal productivity hopes but was disappointed (all the more because it is from Sony).
The Band itself is pretty nice and rugged. The main problem is that the software (android app) is buggy and won't sync with the phone.
This might work well with a sony android phone. I don't know.

The whole idea was to be able to make phone calls and answer over the speaker phone and it didn't happen!
I returned back disappointed and got my money back.

Note: Most cell phones are inconvenient to carry around and be "on-the-go" anywhere (including situations like driving and walking or jogging).
The answer to that are these wearable devices. They still need to evolve and reach to a point when we can get rid of cell phones.

Very Good For Your Consideration

Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2016

Usually when you think of Sony you think of their once relevant heydays in the 1980's. They have been irrelevant to me since, but I think this wearable changes things a bit. This is the fifth smartband I have tried out (Pebble, Garmin, Samsung, Mota, and now Sony), and this one by far has everything I need. Notifications are great, the speakerphone is unusually awesome, and the fit is good. It gets four stars because it is lacking a backlight.

I love this thing.

Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2016

About one week since I got it. I love this thing so far because it does what I want it to do. Small letters are hard to read but it is due to my age. I have to grab my reading glasses. LOL. I work as a mechanic. So, I wish it was made with hard glass face and metal casing for heavy duty environment like my old watch was.

Doesn't work with my Android phone

Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2016

Verified Purchase

Does not work. I've had this 2nd one for several months and the software to connect it to my android phone keeps failing. The voice control just stops working for no apparent reason. I've tried everything because it was awesome when it did work and I really wanted it to work.. Very frustrating! 2nd one I purchased hoping it was the watch but it must be the application software interface.

2/2015 purchase and happy with the watch 15 months later

I've owned this since Feb. 2015 and love the unit. I can take calls from my wrist and view notifications without touching my phone. The wrist bands are interchangeable and stylish. Sony updates its Lifelog and the smartwatch firmware routinely with new features. I highly recommend this smartwatch. And, you don't have to charge this every day. It lasts a full three days and only takes and hour to charge.

Update: 5/16: Still using this 24/7 and it is a great device. Accurate and consistent tracking, notifications and query/calling. Battery still lasts three days. The device cleans up well and the bands don't wear out.

Perfectly designed band

Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2016

Verified Purchase

Nicely designed and offers what I need. may be lot of people don't use speakerphone or mic on this band but i find great use when i am riding mcy or playing or typing on keyboard and talking. Waterproof and simple display lets us keep this band all day long for 2 days. and since its a band i don't have to deal with other Bluetooth headsets around my neck or wires..etc.. i only wish Google Maps voice comes out of the speaker in watch. also simple arrow directions on band display. also night visibility is zero which needs to be there if its going to be on my hand all day and night. gradual alarm vibrate is another neat thing.

Very helpfull watch, always notifies me for messages or phone calls even when I can't hear the phone. BT initiation was a problem till I read on the web you need to press both buttons for 3 seconds to restart.

Nice smart watch - lousy warranty.

Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2016

Verified Purchase

Really like it so far. Tried a cheapo first and returned it and bought the Sony. NO issues with any of the apps installed. Battery lasts 3 days and the latest update seemed to help with the phone feature. As others have stated...too bad it has no back light.

08/30/2016 - after 5 months I found the screen had cracked and Sony won't do anything about it. Not a durable watch for active people. I thought Sony was a good brand and stood behind their products but not in this case. Will no longer consider Sony products since they don't support them.

I am still testing, it works fine so far, there are some things that maybe is because I have not figure it out how to use it, but it is helping me a lot for what I purchase this device to track my sleep.
