Stay Connected: Camera Smart Watches with Many Everyday Applications

Sony has created many 'smartphone companions' since the era of Android wearables started. The SmartWatch 3 is the first device where Sony integrates the specialized Android Wear operating system and attempts to deliver a sportier smartwatch. With a 1.2 GHz ARM A7 Quad-core CPU and 512 MB RAM memory, the device is quite powerful and able to run performance-demanding apps without any problem. Its unique features also allow it to offer support in some very unique use scenarios.

Can the Sony SmartWatch 3 Work as a Standalone Unit?

Sony has created this version of the smartwatch with a built-in GPS, which allows it to be used as a standalone unit. Having GPS on the device allows the installed Android apps to track movement and location without a smartphone being present. Moreover, the 4 GB storage provides enough room for both applications and data storage, Still, keep in mind that accessing some of the information collected may still require a phone, as the touchscreen size is not large enough for complex app navigation or visualization of data.

How Does the Sony SmartWatch 3 Communicate with my Smartphone?

Same as all other Sony smartwatches, the third generation model communicates with the smartphone via Bluetooth. To connect the Sony SmartWatch 3 to a phone, you need to take the following steps:

  • Connect the smartwatch to its charger and make sure that the pairing mode is active.
  • Search for Bluetooth devices with your phone, select the smartwatch, and start the pairing process.
  • Once the pairing password appears on your watch, type it in the corresponding dialog box on the phone.

After the two devices are paired, you can receive calls, messages, notifications, and even share data collected with the smartwatch. Pairing also allows you to remotely access the camera as well as trigger the anti-loss feature on an Android phone.

Is it Possible to Pair the SmartWatch 3 with an iPhone?

While the watch is not iOS native, it can be paired with an iPhone as well. Keep in mind that only a limited number of features are cross-platform compatible, but you can still receive calls and notifications without any glitches.

How Long is the Battery Life of the Sony SmartWatch 3?

The Sony SmartWatch 3 comes with a battery capacity of 420 mAh, but its battery life is highly dependent on the frequency of use. Those who receive a lot of notifications and spend a lot of time using the camera may drain the battery in a day. However, moderate use can stretch its time between recharges to over 48 hours.

Recharging is performed via the built-in MicroUSB port. A Sony charger is provided in the original set and a typical recharge is less than 2 hours long.
