Sony SmartWatch 3: specs
Available in Classic (black) and Sport (lime) models, the IP68-certified dust- and waterproof Sony SmartWatch 3 has a 1.6in transflective TFT LCD screen with a 320x320 resolution, a stainless steel rear panel and a silicon rubber strap. You will also be able to buy a pink or white strap for the SmartWatch 3.
Inside this 36x10x51mm, 38g smartwatch is a 1.2GHz ARM A7 quad-core procesor, 512MB of RAM and 4GB of storage. The latter enables you to sync playlists between your phone and watch before you leave the house, then enjoy your tunes without the smartphone to hand.
The Sony SmartWatch 3 supports Bluetooth 4.0 LE, GPS and NFC, and has a MicroUSB charging port. Running Android Wear, it's compatible with all Android smartphones running Android 4.3 Jelly Bean or later. It also talks to Sony's Lifelog software (which can be installed on any Android phone) to help you keep track of every aspect of your life, from the pictures you've taken and the conversations you've held to how active you've been.
Its 420mAh lithium-polymer battery charges in less than an hour and can last up to four days on standby, according to Sony.
