Where are you guys getting the metal band from?
[Sony Smartwatch] CupiD101:
Found a good deal on eBay.. The metal band one.. Will be receiving it in 2 days!. The deal just got better when I read this :)
[Sony Smartwatch] lexman098:
I wouldn't put too much effort into finding one with a metal band. Get a springbar tool on Amazon for like 5 bucks and you can have any 24mm band you like.
[Sony Smartwatch] Geoffxx:
The update is done through the phone not PCC

The watch will not be recognised by PCC or the PC
[Sony Smartwatch] OstrichSak:
Basing your opinion on one of the largest companies in the world off of what a single level 1 help desk person advised is foolish.

Calm down. Breath. Everything will be fine.

I bought my SW2 for $120 shipped and am quite pleased with it as it sits. Sure, the new update will add features that I'm looking forward to but that doesn't make me hate my watch is it's currently constructed. My guess is you don't either or you would have returned it after you bought it. I'd rather have Sony release solid firmware in an organized fashion than rush something because a few people on a forum have no patience. Relax. It will happen when it happens. In fact, it would be nice if this thread didn't have any more updates until people actually started getting the update roll out since there really is nothing else to discuss until that happens. Every time I get an email notification I get excited thinking this may be it and instead it's someone else complaining about getting something nobody even guaranteed any any date. When it happens, it will happen. Until then enjoy your smartwatch for what it is.

This. That one rep was wrong and posting the misinformation here isn't helping people who don't know better. It should be removed as there are lots of readers wasting their time in hopes of getting something that doesn't yet exist.
[Sony Smartwatch] toyface:
Perfectly calm over here, I don't need to be told to calm down. I'm fine waiting for an update, but telling me something wrong is real bad practice no matter what.

I'm fine with my watch as is as well, my issue is not with the waiting, but more with the poor response from Sony. I use mine everyday and love it
[Sony Smartwatch] spark001uk:
Can't remember who said it, but there's no need to go to the 'update accessory' option in the app, as it only knows about your current firmware. When new firmware is released we'll receive an update to the 'smartwatch 2' plugin via the play store, which will contain the new firmware.
[Sony Smartwatch] JarlSX:
maybe [MENTION=268474]steliosk[/MENTION] can edit his post on the previous page?

the smartwatch 2 app update will indeed have the firmware update, so checking the play store is the only way
[Sony Smartwatch] Sean473:
Anyone got update? I'm seeing nothing here..
[Sony Smartwatch] rich270982:
Not a sausage
[Sony Smartwatch] corrado85:
it it schedules to release: NEVER :P
[Sony Smartwatch] princemarcus19:
Guys you can update the watch using Sues, sony put both smartwatch 1 and 2 under 1 icon. So it support both watches. I just re installed sw2 software and its fine.
[Sony Smartwatch] braders2k:
What firmware version do you know have on your smartwatch? After updating with sues?
[Sony Smartwatch] princemarcus19:
Same current version, 1.0.B.3.46/1.0.A.3.8 ,no new update yet.
[Sony Smartwatch] braders2k:
So no reason to post.. You can't get new update via sues

---------- Post added at 11:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 PM ----------

New firmware? If not then no need to post these images..
[Sony Smartwatch] steliosk:
No software update for me, ( through seus or play market)
[Sony Smartwatch] jamas79:
Probably a fake. It says "No Internet connection".
[Sony Smartwatch] ORCA999:
Even If says no internet connection on Carrier info wifi could be connected :) but probably fake anyway just delete the app and use old apk and redownload update.

[Sony Smartwatch] cocoteuch:
I just got an update from my SW2! I'm changing the wallpaper but not display notification on the standby screen. Can be a part of the update released?
[Sony Smartwatch] steliosk:
Ok I do confirm, I am downloading the update now...

Edit: ok the update but no new watch faces...
[Sony Smartwatch] ORCA999:
You do that in smartconnect, add widgets and so on.:laugh:
[Sony Smartwatch] simes6600:
oooh...double tap to wake screen like my M8....lush!
[Sony Smartwatch] _EriK_:
Just go to your phone, open the sw2 app. There you have the menu: Edit watch faces. Create a new one and put there what do you need. Quite usefull!

They also implemented a new app for training.
[Sony Smartwatch] magicdark:
There is the Double Tap To Wakeup too!!! Wow!!!
[Sony Smartwatch] simes6600:
cant get this to work....tappin does nowt. lovin the custom watchfaces tho....
[Sony Smartwatch] -=W1S3=-:
I JUST HAD THE UPDATE! IT'S TOTALLY AWESOME! :eek:

Non notification, my watch has just vibrated and "Your SmartWatch is now Updated" :eek:
[Sony Smartwatch] cocoteuch:
Thank you very much!
[Sony Smartwatch] steliosk:
Thanks from me also, how can I put weather when I edit watchface? :)

[Sony Smartwatch] steliosk:
Thanks I am downloading the sony weather app update.
[Sony Smartwatch] runningwarrior08:
The double tap to wake does not do anything more than turn on the backlight. You still must hit the power button to access apps.

I have the official weather widget but am unable to get the weather to show on watch face or on widget...hmm
[Sony Smartwatch] simes6600:
there is a new version released today of the weather app. did you update it too? the weather widget is towards the far right in the widgets customisation section
[Sony Smartwatch] francis820:
It seems all SW2-related Sony apps are being updated. Just got 2 other notifications for Facebook and Missed Call extensions. :good::good::good:
[Sony Smartwatch] _EriK_:
By now I am missing the steps counter. I found the app, but I am trying to figure out how to show the steps on the watchface.

PS: you're wellcome ;)
[Sony Smartwatch] runningwarrior08:
I ended up having to uninstall and reinstall to get the watchface widget. But I am still unable to get to the screen it shows on the app page in the market that allows me to add a widget to the home screen... Hmm
[Sony Smartwatch] simes6600:
you customise the watchface/widgets from the smart connect app installed on your phone.
[Sony Smartwatch] runningwarrior08:
I understand for the watchface widget.

How do I add a widget that is not the the watchface but to the watch itself.
[Sony Smartwatch] JarlSX:
and today of all days i leave my watch at home...

update sounds good, but.... can you now set the screen timeout?

edit: wow, the editor is NICE!
[Sony Smartwatch] pcb_one:
New SW2 firmware

Right now my SW2 clock updated to

Accessory version

1.0.B.4.152

Host app version

1.4.51

just after a Smartwatch 2 app update from google play...

Great

many new things, allowing apps within the watch, allowing notifications from thw watch, editing you own watchfaces and a lot of other new things...
[Sony Smartwatch] Depump:
no show % battery and srceen show always

and no support thai language T_T
[Sony Smartwatch] mhyke13ph:
I have a strange bug, i cannot use wifi when bluetooth is on and sw2 is on, but if i turn off my sw2, i can use my wifi again. Anyone experiencing this bug?
[Sony Smartwatch] pcb_one:
with your own created watchface there is a batt indicator...
[Sony Smartwatch] mhyke13ph:
I did that already. Still problem exist, wifi wont work if sw2 is connected
[Sony Smartwatch] pcb_one:
well, I have Xperia Z and never ever had problems with wifi and sw2 together...:confused:
[Sony Smartwatch] GuiPoM:
I just applied the update (it initially crashed my watch) and I have to admit that the new watchface interface is a killer :) really nice to have useful information always on my screen.

I hope it will not kill my watch or phone battery !

Do you also notice the vibrating pattern for user apps ? it would be better to really define custom vibrating patterns, but at least you can choose among no vibration, normal or intense
[Sony Smartwatch] ruben46_:
Finally installed yeah!!!

Im using Xperia TX, 4.3, my wifi works fine as long as sw2 is not connected, this is a weird bug. How to downgrade
[Sony Smartwatch] Hazerm:
Now there's Instagram in the recommended apps to install area. But tapping on it results in an "item not found" error on the Play Store. Anyone else with the same problem? Or anyone else managed to get the Instagram app on their Smartwatch 2? Maybe the Instagram app isn't released yet or not available in my country?
[Sony Smartwatch] GuiPoM:
do you know what is the goal of the feature display/tap to activate display ?

I thought it was tap to power, but it has no effect ! :(
[Sony Smartwatch] runningwarrior08:
So which weather app do people have? I'm using the smart extension app but I have a sw2 and it is showing the app for the mn2. Does everyone here have the color version of the weather app?
[Sony Smartwatch] thearif:
Well what I figured is as follows.

Lets say you have some widgets placed on the watch face. (Number of notifications, wheather etc.)

When you wake the watch up by double tap, and tap on the widget, it opens the related app.. Here I am not sure if it requires a double tap or a single tap. Since they were so small, I tapped it more than once anyway.. To make sure try double tap....

But to go to the homescreen, you need to hit the power button. Even home button does not do the trick....
[Sony Smartwatch] GuiPoM:
Thanks !

If I multi tap I hardly manage to have backlight switch on. If I increase sensitivity to its maximum value, it works pretty well as expected.

But no way to open a single app (meteo or remaining notifications by tapping !)
[Sony Smartwatch] thearif:
weather smart extension works for both MN2 and SW2.

OK I guess I was wrong. I tried this with the power button. If you wake the watch with power button (backlight is ON now) you can tap the widgets and open the app... It is way better than double tapping... It looks really ridiculous as I have to tap it really hard....
[Sony Smartwatch] runningwarrior08:
I know it works for both. But on my SW2 the interface is the same as the mn2 but on the play store pictures the interface for the SW2 looks different. Does yours have the black background? Mine is not letting me add widgets because it thinks I have the MN2 version. I have tried resetting/uninstalling every sw2 app and it doesn't fix it.
[Sony Smartwatch] GuiPoM:
On my watch, if sensitivity is set to its highest value, it is pretty easy to activate backlight by double tapping.

But this is not similar to pressing the power button, as I am not able to interact with the widgets. I think this is not a shortcut to unlock the device, just a way to read the widgets in low light conditions.
[Sony Smartwatch] thearif:
Yeah probably it is just a backlight ON feature. As the backlight is dimmer in the case of a double tap compared to powerbutton press...
[Sony Smartwatch] mhyke13ph:
Connection with sw2, interferes with my wifi connection. I tried resetting the phone and watch, clear data on sw2 app. Bug still exist
[Sony Smartwatch] thearif:
I don't have the screens shown in playstore either...Maybe in the next update??? But I can add weather widget to the watchface with no issue.
[Sony Smartwatch] Tonio78370:
Just installed and the Face Mod is a killer :cool:
[Sony Smartwatch] runningwarrior08:
It has had these images since I got the SW2 on release. I traded in my mn2 for this and the mn2 at least had widgets :/ very upsetting. I may go back to my smart q z watch or just wait for the new lg version. This one has been a lot of broken promises :/ the video still shows widgets on this watch that we are unable to get.
[Sony Smartwatch] thearif:
I had the MN2 as well before I got SW2. To be honest, I did not like the way widgets work in the original MN2. I liked the way the widgets work in this new firmware better. For me, widgets are there on a homescreen (in the case of a watch - watchface) and you should not scroll through endless screens to get to the one you want. My two cents...

I think with the new firmware update, SW2 is almost perfect... Now lets see what the developers bring to the table in terms of apps :)
[Sony Smartwatch] MdeAnd:
Just Installed

I think the face watch editor is great, but I´m missing a mobile battery indicator widget.
[Sony Smartwatch] stefan0290:
The only thing missing now is the weeknumber...

Hopefully we can get an app that makes it possible to add weeknumber on the watchface.

[Sony Smartwatch] mhyke13ph:
Uninstalling and installed sw2 app solved my problem :)
[Sony Smartwatch] Depump:
ok i see face editor
[Sony Smartwatch] dervish666:
Really liking the new update. The customise option works well, and I have a much better watch as a result.

I was just starting to get properly fed up with the watch, hope this means the device is more reliable now.
[Sony Smartwatch] billy_buroo:
The options for the watchface mod are part of the Smartconnect app on the phone

[Sony Smartwatch] OstrichSak:
Finally! Update seems nice. The ability to finally have weather on my standby screen is the biggest feature I was looking for and it didn't let down. The ability to fully customize the watch face is icing on the cake and much appreciated. Anyone notice that the day & date widget takes up four blocks across the face when it barely even spills into two? I wish they'd cut that down at least to two so I can put the weather on the same line next to it. Just trying to get the most amount of info on my watch face and clean things up a bit and that little nit pick bothers me. Oh well, can't be perfect I guess.

Also, did anyone else thing that they'd be able to add custom wallpapers to their watch? I guess I misread and the ability to select a different color is nice but I'd like to be able to push one of my own photos from my phone to the watch as the wallpaper. That seems like it would be something easy to do and I'm surprised that it doesn't already exist. Maybe it does and I just missed it? *shrugs shoulders*

The double tap to light the screen is a nice touch but appears to be wonky in it's execution. At default setting the typical double tap for a smart phone does nothing. Maybe I need to increase that and I will do so and experiment with this setting.

I like that ALL of the apps are listed in the apps section of the watch and I can enable or disable them from view as I desire and the advanced settings feature will add for some nice adjustability from the watch itself moving forward once the extension devs start adding that access to their extension. Good things to come!

Other than that, this firmware update gets a HUGE thumbs up from me even if all it brings is the ability to have weather on the watch face. This is a pretty handy feature where I live and when most other watches offer it default it seems like something that the watch should have just come with. I've only owned this watch for a few weeks so I haven't been waiting as long as most of you but the watch certainly feels like a 'new' watch to me now with the added features. I'm anxious to see what features they add with the next update and hopefully it comes sooner than later. Thanks Sony!

What's that app in the middle at the top of your screen in the first picture? I haven't seen that one before.
[Sony Smartwatch] naheel azawy:
Hi, I wanna ask you if the weather app looks like it is on play store, for me it still with the old style
[Sony Smartwatch] Brewn:
I just noticed that tap to wake works perfectly if you do not tap the display but the housing of the watch instead!

Seems like they don't use the display for the tap to wake feature (like on a phone) but some kind of accelerometer instead.

Actually it also turns on the display if I shake my wrist...
[Sony Smartwatch] OstrichSak:
I had updates to all of my extensions along w/the main app update. The new Sony weather app update includes a new black/yellow icon that may be confusing some people but you have to update the main app as well as the weather extension in order to have the widgets on the watch face.
[Sony Smartwatch] flow1:
Everything works super on my sw2,kudos sony!
[Sony Smartwatch] Hazerm:
I do not think the double tap to wake feature is really about double tapping the screen of the Smartwatch 2. First of all, as some have noticed that you need to tap relatively hard on the screen to wake the watch. Then, I also noticed while playing with the watch that the watch reacted even when i double tapped the back of the Smartwatch 2. So I suspect that the Double tap to wake feature utilises the motion sensor in the watch, the one that also puts our watch to deep sleep when we are not wearing it. So not sure if the kind of feature you mentioned there would be possible. Could be possible, but may drain the watch battery? Maybe our watch's digitizer/kernel does not support real double tap to wake like the recent Android smartphones.

Edit: Would be cool if Sony allowed interactive widgets on clock faces and that that dim backlight when double tapping to wake the watch also makes the touchscreen and capacitive buttons active like how pressing the power buttons does, which makes opening notifications from the clock face possible and cool. I think that was what you meant.
[Sony Smartwatch] naheel azawy:
I'm not talking about the icon and the widget, I'm asking you about this:

for me it still look like this:

I've updated everything but still on the old weather style
[Sony Smartwatch] Hazerm:
I'm also having the older kind of look on my Smartwatch and I have updated the weather app and even have weather widget on my clock face, so I don't think you have a bad install or something. Maybe that's a fake screenshot to make the app look nice on the playstore? I hope I'm not missing out on a setting or something.
[Sony Smartwatch] naheel azawy:
that's true, when I extracted the apk there was no new changes. maybe it will be an update in the future :good:

[Sony Smartwatch] JarlSX:
love the update, mostly the watchface editor, but it could use some extra options, like week number

however, the double tap to wake is pretty useless, as brightness is still too dim and widgets don't respond, so i disabled it

and still no option to select screen timeout!! :(

that really bothers me, should be really simple to add
[Sony Smartwatch] OstrichSak:
Mine still looks like that when I open it too and that was after I did the update. Not sure what that first one even is or if it exists. Never seen it myself.
[Sony Smartwatch] Hazerm:
Glad to hear that. Hopefully Sony really updates the interface in the near future (:

[Sony Smartwatch] ruggs1234:
Have anyone tested how non native apps show notifications when another non native app is running in low power mode? Example..I use Augmented Smartwatch for notifications but if I have Ghostracer (a cycling info app) running on the watch in low power mode the notifications from Augmented never appear or vibrate the watch.

If I use Sonys SMS notification app I get the one feeble vibration (please let us set number of vibrations Sony!) but at least it shows something in the notification bar on the watch.

Im reluctant to update as there seems no way to downgrade the firmware since the watch no longer features on the Sony Update service. (you could previously "repair" the SW2 with a basic firmware from your pc then use any backup of the SW2 app which corrected the firmware on the watch)

Many thanks in advance.

[Sony Smartwatch] naheel azawy:
Advanced settings simply open the app settings on the connected device
[Sony Smartwatch] OstrichSak:
Nice video but you don't have to hold & drag the items to the clock face. Simply tapping them drops them on the first available space and then once it's on the watch face it's much easier to drag them to where you want them. Trying to drag them from the lower tool bar is a bit clunkier.
