At $200, the SmartWatch 2 is cheaper than its most obvious competitor, the Galaxy Gear, which costs $100 more. That's quite a difference. Of course, the Galaxy Gear has some notable hardware features that help it stand apart --namely, a camera, speaker and microphone. On the other hand, Samsung's offering is also currently limited to just a small handful of compatible phones. Also, Sony made sure the SmartWatch 2 functioned well as a proper watch -- crazy, we know.

With its ability to push Android notifications to your wrist, the Sony SmartWatch 2 is more useful than Samsung’s Galaxy Gear, but the Pebble is still the best smartwatch deal around.

If you are absolutely desperate for a smartwatch then I would recommend the Sony SmartWatch 2 over the likes of the Pebble, Qualcomm Toq and Samsung Galaxy Gear, but if you're not really bothered then I'd advise to steer clear. Despite the update, the SmartWatch 2 still feels a little half baked. Whilst there are some interesting functions such as the camera extension, or the ability to get notifications and messages on your wrist, it isn't vital. That said, the decrease in price does mean that I'm more tempted to hand over my money.

The Sony SmartWatch 2 is smartwatch that will give you most of your notification on your wrist. It works. However, it's awkward to use at times, fairly short battery life is an inconvenience and it's just not as slick as most of the phones it can connect to.
