Please add inverse (white background) in face designer Really the only thing I can see left to add to make the recent updates perfect is if an option could be added to the watchface designer to invert the screen colors on low power mode. Then all the widgets currently available that are light on black would be easily convertible to a white background watchface! ATTN SONY: Please consider adding an inverse switch in face designer!!

Upgrade ruined this app When I bought this watch, it had some useful functions like caller I'D. But an upgrade has made it mostly useless. Some apps work, but most of the connectivity between the watch and my phone (HTC One X) doesn't work. It drops the connection with my phone so very often, and leaves the watch vibrating on my wrist in a most annoying fashion. Really re-thinking being a Smartwatch early adopter.

Update breaks watch The latest update has forced the watch into some kind of update loop, where it never stops showing the update bars on screen.

Doesn't even show up on my phone once downloaded! Says app is installed but cannot find anywhere on my phone! Also won't connect to smartwatch

Sony's got this Brings a ton of wonderful new features. For those non early adopters I can finally say the sw2 is primed and ready and if your still on the edge go get it! Some small bugs (hangs) but fixed with reboots on sw2 and easily outweighed and overlooked with these new features. I think battery is slightly better too on the watch but I'm probably just over excited :p

Destroyed My Watch The latest update has made my watch useless. The install hangs near the end and never finishes. Restarting the watch, charging, plugging in, unplugging have all proved useless repeatedly. I can never get a Sony agent on the phone, and 5 days after submitting a request for help from the Sony Mobile call center, they still haven't contacted me. This is my second SmartWatch and I've had it for 9 months. It's a real shame because it had been far superior to everything else on the market up till now.

Not a happy camper!! My brand new smartwatch 2 is completely useless since it does not even show the time. Gets as far as connecting to bluetooth and showing the smart connect icon on the watch, but no way to access the smartwatch 2 applications. The problem lies either with smartwatch 2 app, or with the smart connect app.
Sony almost has it! Most of my complaints have been resolved. Despite what people say I still think to this day that Sony has the best smartwatch. The only last things to make the watch PERFECT is: 1. Customizing app layout. 2. Some way to wake the watch without the power button. It's gonna be hard to move away from this watch if the time comes. Bought this watch from day one when it was released and I still love it and regret nothing. Great move Sony. EDIT: the last update ruined everything
Needs work Getting better but all native faces and widgets need to have colour inversed so you can have a complete white face if wanted eg battery date widgets and digital watches and the ability to put the widgets onto the analogue faces like the hack that is available but can't use it on xperia z2 so Sony please sort this our for next update
What's New
Personalized wallpapers – set your own wallpaper on the watch based on photos and images from your phone or tablet.
Additional language support – watch notifications are now supported in all the languages your Android phone or tablet supports.
Functional improvements.
