HI,
First time on this forum. I've had my SmartWatch 2 for almost a month now and to be honest I'm not overly impressed. I'm not expecting it to be a replacement for my phone or anything but I find it has a limited use due to very few useful apps. I have all the ones that are suggested by Smart Connect. I have a couple of custom watch faces, Smartmote (Music controller that's compatible with Spotify), Find Phone and Commander. I find it hard to find any decent apps on Play that are high quality. Is there any third party apps dedicated as an appstore for the SmartWatch?
What I'd really like to know, what apps do you use on a daily bases, that you can't live without and that makes the SmartWatch 2 a useful aid to your life?
Use SmartConnect or search in Play Store for Smart Extension Sony...
I love D-Day for dates and tasks and the Shopping list extension since I've the 2nd child
Von meinem Sony Xperia Z1 gesendet. Mit Hirn.
Depends on what you want to do. I use tasker to remove the pass code when it is connected to the watch and re-enable it when out of range. Tasker also notifies me if the battery is draining when usb charging or the screen is on while in my pocket... I use AppLauncher to be able to start car mode when in my 2nd car (which doesn't have Bluetooth) and to start klets (voice control) or remote widget to turn on my home media server from the lounge room... I use "Phone Status" to toggle Wi-Fi hotspot. My bank had an asp to view current balance...so many things it can do...
Main use : Watchify
I own a galaxy note 3, so it's super convient to see the notification on my wirst.
Also as said just before, the Tasker combinaison can do some pretty good things.
I use mostly Poweramp Control pro and Runtastic.
And from time to time, Calculator and the Timer.
Notifier
Smartwatch Notify! Although it's lacking in the grammar area, it's by far the most useful app I ever had on my Smartwatch 2
- AllNotify for notification
- Everwatch : To see my Evernote
- Tiny task : To see my Google Task
- TimeOut : Interval Timer
- CayNax HIIT : Also interval timer HIIT
- Calendar by Nefa Studio to Add event in calendar from the watch

- SWP Music Player to start music, Album, Artist, Song from the watch
- Call Handling pro to make call from the watch
- Counter to keep count many thing from the watch
- Stopwatch app (other than original) to count even if wath is down
- K9Mail for my mail notification
- Lunar Phase for Lunar and Sun
- Spy Voice to start voice record since the watch
- NanoNotes to write quick note from the watch
- Skype, hangout, Facebook, Twitter client
- Smartwatch Currency Converter to quickly convert money
- Smartwatch Remember to start remind with snooze time
- SMS&Notes for Smartwatch also to write quick note from the watch
- WatchNote other Evenote Client
- Status View to see phone Wifi, Sound, 3G batt .
- Wearable Widget to see phone widget on SW2 and all Zooper Widget
- Smartwaether to see forecast 5 days on watch
Sony apps:
-Gmail/Twitter/Messages/Facebook/Call handling
3rd part apps:
-Whatsapp
-Rain alarm Pro
-Hangouts
-Watchface Widgets
-Phone battery
Ordered by usage weight, my top 5 apps are:
Augmented Smartwatch (it handled all notifications from day 1)
Watch Widgets from NefaStudio (for the watchface)
Call Handling Pro
Music Player from Sony
Built-in alarm app
...and many others

Apps contd in 3rd post
IF I HELPED YOU DON'T SAY THANKS HIT IT LOL...YOU CAN SAY IT TO IF YOU LIKE LOL
"[Sent from a galaxy far far away] *ominous voice* Hit THANKS"
Some great info there thanks !!
What about security apps ? Id like to nominate Avast! as THE best mobile security app ever.
It can do a whole range of things, Including remote lock & wipe, Activating a siren and on screen message (custom message) It also has tracking features and will inform you if the sim is changed.
It scans every new installed app for malware and viruses and also has web privacy protection against dodgy phishing sites. It also has anti-theft feature (requires root) which will install the app and data into the system so that it will survive a full wipe !!
Ive just been having a little play with it via the Avast! website... And best of all.... ITS FREE !!!
I'd say this is a must have app ! the first thing that should be installed on any android device.
Couldn't get to fit in first post so will place any further recomendatons here

Hi All
Just for my Sony Smart Watch 2 yesterday and feeling a little underwhelmed
I also have a Pebble which I feel at the moment is better.
Two things:
1. I cannot get the Sony to stay in control of Google Play music when its playing. It will do the volume but then when you go to forward a track it defaults to the Walkman app and starts that and plays the demo tracks. I have tried disabling the Walkman app but then the app on the watch just crashes.
2. The second and less important thing is Facebook integration. On the Pebble it will deal with two Facebook accounts being run on the phone. One in the Facebook app and the other Facebook Messenger. Both running different accounts. The Sony seems to only recognize the actual Facebook app.
Anyone have a solution to these?
Oh I just thought of a third, lack of watch faces! And especially watch faces giving a lot of information. The Pebble face I use has time, weather and phone battery status...
Well theres my rant!

How are you even controlling media from the watch at all? The media player app is missing in the Android app store at the moment. However, even on the Smartwatch 1 I believe the Sony official app was locked to the default media player on your device. Most brands of phone have their own take on the music player, such as Sony's Walkman app. The volume control is not related to the app as its the master output volume. But the track changes will be sent to a specific app, not the one that's currently playing music.
Now, there is an upgrade of Music Player Extras by Sony that allow to control Google Play Music correctly. You can set volume, play/pause song, go to next or prev song; but u can't see Artist or Title of the song from the smartwatch.
That's an improvement. Shame about no song details. Thanks for the heads up

Yeah I spotted it last night. I have an HTC phone and before yesterday night, there was no music player at all for the smartwatch 2 hence my previous comment. I have it now.
I too have an HTC phone (One - M7) and the Smartwatch 2. This Music Extras is the only one that work properly with Play Music until now.

Does anyone know if it's possible to disable or uninstall the New Events aggregator plugin. The one that's just a yellow circle with a number in the middle. I'm using WatchIt!, so don't think I need this New Events thing.
Might pick up an sw2 for 100.
Just curious about app support.
Can I control google play music? As in navigate library etc.
What is phone control like.
What else can I do.. Sell it to me folks.. Thanks.
Sorry. What about pairing with non Sony phone... (galaxy note 2)
Mine works with my note 3.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
It controls your music app, play, pause etc but it doesn't allows you to go through your library to search for your song. Maybe its a limitation of the app or because the screen is too small, hence they don't include that ability. It is compatible to our note 2.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Free mobile app
I know only one app wich can browse library (Artist, Album, Song) SWP for smartwatch and it has his own built in player.
The PowerAmp-App for the Smartwatch 2 can do all this and more (in combination with PowerAmp installed on your Phone).
Love this App! I'm using it every day
To your other question about compatibility:
The Sony Smartwatch 2 is made to work with every Android Phone running Android 4.0 and higher.

For $100 it's an awesome gadget. Compared to the smartwatches out right now it is a best-of-all-worlds device.
- Color touch screen.
- Perfectly visible in direct sunlight.
- Always-on watch face.
- Fully customizable watch faces.
- 3-4 day battery life.
- Non-proprietary charger.
- Water resistant.
- Compatible with any standard 24mm watchband.
- Large selection of apps in the app store.
- No hard limit on number of apps and watch faces you can have (unlike 4 or 8 limit with pebble).
- With the right apps, can forward any and all notifications from your phone.
- Can also display most widgets from your phone on your watch using remote widget app.
The only downsides depending on your point of view:
- Shorter battery life than pebble, still longer than almost any other smart watch
- No microphone or speaker
- Support may wane now that android wear is out, but so far holding steady
I got one for Christmas, and broke it two weeks ago. I went less than a week before buying another one, I liked it that much. Conversely, I had a pebble steel for three days and returned it.
Hi there, I have just been given the new Smartwatch 3 by my lovely girlfriend.
I've had a few days to play and am glad to say i love it but there were some changes i did need to make to make it more useful.
So far what I've found to be the most useful and what turns this watch great is:
Swipify - App Drawer, makes getting to you installed apps easier and has customization to a point
App manager for wear - As it says, sticks all the wear enabled apps together so it is easier to find and manage
Yatse - XBMC remote, This still needs your phone as the middle man but it is fast and responsive and puts all you need to control XBMC from your wrist
These are just a few that I've been playing with, love the XBMC remote and will be trying unified remote when I get round to purchasing.
I think I will have to learn to write apps too as there are so many possibilities with the internet of things heating up .
LG Watch G owner here
Son has a SSW3 and loves it too. Both impressive Smart watches.
Fav apps (so far)
> Facer & Watchmaker screen customisations, the fan base is excellent and watch faces are free! e.g. http://facerepo.com/app/
> Endomondo (love seeing how my mtb ride is doing, HRM stats etc)
> PowerApp (being able to skip tracks & change vol)
> SWapp True dark for reducing the ambient light (useful on OLED screens)
> Wear Battery stats (for battery consumption)
> Yatse +1 for my RaspBMC control
Looking forward to seeing more app development, wouldn't mind having a go myself.
Cool I am using Yatse for Openelec in the pi too.
Have you tried out KIWI yet you can use hand gestures to activate functions even integrating with tasker, next version they will have cusom motion.
