context_page_description: The Sony SmartWatch is a line of wearable devices developed and marketed by Sony Mobile that connect to Android smartphones and can display Twitter feeds and SMS, among other things. Different versions are compatible with different Android devices.
context_section_description: At IFA 2014 the company announced the Sony Smartwatch 3. Its processor switched from previous generations' ARM Cortex-M MCU to an ARM Cortex-A CPU.
  As noted by ABI Research, "The SmartWatch 3 has many new features such as waterproof (IP68 rated, not just resistant), improved styling, transition to Android Wear, and introduction of a new wearable platform from Broadcom. ... [It's] based on the Broadcom system-on-chip (SoC) platform which includes a 1.2GHz Quad-core ARM Cortex A7 processor (BCM23550), an improved GPS and ambient light sensor processing SoC (BCM47531) capable of simultaneously tracking five satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS, QZSS, SBAS, and BeiDou), the now popular Wi-Fi 802.11n/BT/NFC/FM quad-combo connectivity chip (BCM43341), and a highly integrated power management IC (BCM59054)."
  Several apps are capable of using the Smartwatch 3's GPS, including:
  Google MyTracks (since 2014, December)
  RunKeeper (since 2014, December)
  Endomondo (since 2015, March)
  iFit
  Ghostracer (can upload to Strava)
  Strava (Beta)
  Rambler
  The watch is also capable of tracking swimming with swim.com and golf swings with vimoGolf.
  The Sony SmartWatch 3 will not be upgraded to version 2.0 of Android Wear.
