Hi:
I bought the Sony Smartwatch in December. I use it every day and I like it; I think it’s not bad for a first generation and is easily the best out there today (including this new “Pebble”). Some of the needed improvements can come from software, but hardware is also needed to improve to keep making this a useful gadget – battery life, and having a watch that is “on all the time”, better call handling (we don’t all use Sony phones), more hands-free interaction (duh) etc.
Is Sony planning a version 2? I for one will buy it. Just wondering if this is a one-off or first-step.
Regards,
Andrew
