Sony Accy MN2 Smart Watch

Read email, SMS and other notifications on your SmartWatch. Swipe to scroll it and touch to navigate. Gmail, POP3 and other email plug-in are available at Google Play Store. SmartWatch vibrates gently for every calendar notification in your phone. Tap the screen and read the details. No need to check your phone to see if your Facebook friends are up to anything. SmartWatch lets you know. You can read Facebook messages and tweets as they come in.

Performance

Sony Smart LED Watch uses Bluetooth 3.0 to connect to your phone, and is designed solely for use with Andoid handsets, specifically with Sony`s Xperia line, though a smattering of phones from other manufacturers are also supported. Here`s where it gets frustrating: configuring and adding apps to the SmartWatch is an unnecessarily laborious process. To install apps, you are directed to the Android market, where you can download and install each and every one. The whole process is needlessly complex. Since it`s a totally proprietary system, it seems strange that Sony hasn?t created its own method of adding apps to the device, when offering one-click installations would be much simpler.

Conclusion

The Smart LED Watch by Sony is an unusual product- its definitely made for a niche of users, and feels like the spiritual successor to the calculator and TV remote watches of the 80s and 90s. Its clear that this niche exists, though, with a number of manufacturers making products designed to make your phone`s critical information available at a glance. Overall, apart from certain loopholes, Sony Smart LED Watch definitely has its charms

Design and Build Quality

Looking towards the Sony Smart LED Watch, you will simply blow away with its eye-catchy OLED display! On the other hand, a power button is placed where you could find the crown winder of an analog watch, and a Sony logo is printed on the bezel beneath the glass face. Yes of course there is an obvious distinction between the bezel and the display, which is slightly disappointing, as it break up the otherwise glossy black face when the backlight is switched off. Furthermore, an aluminum frame wraps around the edge of the display, broken only by the aforementioned power button, and the sprung clip and bottom casing are made of white plastic. Underneath the cable are four golden metal contacts, used to charge the device with a proprietary USB cable. All in all, this is a neat design in that there are not any flaps or exposed ports on the device, though if you lose or break the cable it could be difficult to find a replacement.

User Interface

Now, the interface of new Sony Smart LED Watch is full touch-based, rather than relying on the bezel controls that made for an imprecise and frustrating experience in the LiveView. More upon that, the capacitive panel supports two-finger multi-touch and is largely responsive, although there is some occasional lag or missed gestures. On the other hand, the glass feels built to last, but it?s a real fingerprint magnet, and you will frequently find yourself wiping away oily marks from its face.
