The Sony SmartWatch doesn't come with any pre-loaded apps, so it's up to you to install the tools and functions to make it operate the way you want it to.
I'm going to highlight some of the apps I personally use to get the most out of my SmartWatch.
Common Apps Sony Provides:
- Smart Connect (Needed to connect your watch to your phone)
- SmartWatch (Another required app)
- Sony Extras for FaceBook
- Sony Smart Extras Twitter
- Missed Call Smart Extras
- Messaging Smart Extras
- Call Handling Smart Extras (Silence, accept, decline incoming calls)
- PhoneBook Smart Extras (Allows you to place calls from your contacts list)
- Calendar Reminders Smart Ext
- Music Player Smart Extras
All these are common and provided by Sony for the SmartWatch and most can be found within the SmartWatch app or by simply going to Google Play and searching Sony Mobile Communications.
Now for the more outside the box tools:
- SendSMS - Smart Extras (Allows you to create predefined text messages and send them to active conversations within your SMS app, perfect for the quick reply)
- GoogleTV SmartWatch Remote
- Gmail Smart Extras (Though provided by sony, I was only able to see it by directly searching for it, so I'm listing it here, as it was hard for me to find at first)
- Google Maps for SmartWatch (Shows you a small window of your current position as well as navigation route)
- StatusView for SmartWatch (Shows phones status, Wifi, Network and Battery with Wifi and Data Toggle ability)
- CalendarEvents for SmartWatch (Unlike the standard Calendar app, this one allows you to brows all future events, not just ones recently reminded)
These are just some of the ones I'm currently uses right now that are all free, there are however many more to discover and play with. Hope this helps all you SmartWatch users enhance your experience.
theres also a poweramp, weather, traffic, find your phone and endomo app that I use
ReplyDeleteWhere you ever able to get the weather to work? Myself and a few others in the feedback area on the Google play store were faced with network errors and it wouldn't refresh our location or show any weather.
DeleteI'm curious to see if it works for you.
