[Sony Smartwatch 3] thebaldconvict:
Hi all, I spent a very long time working through the different watches, decided I didn't want the potential screen burn issues of the G watch R or the Zen watch (and I love the look of the zenwatch) and eventually decided I wanted the Smartwatch 3.

Then came the strap, I couldn't find the metal band anywhere and wanted both the silicone and the metal band so I've just received a new Smartwatch 3 with metal band with an idea to order a silicone strap later...

Anyway, nowhere did I read that the metal band contains plastic, does anybody else's or have I got a newer cheaper one? The strap is indeed metal and took a while to remove the pins to shorten the band but the part the watch goes into appears to be silver painted plastic....

If the others are like this how easy are they to scratch on the front? Am I going to end up with a £200 watch with scratches on it?

Cheers all :)
[Sony Smartwatch 3] fastest83:
I wanted to start a new topic but I'm hijacking yours, because this morning my stainless steel SW3 had an unexpected encounter with a wall (not a bang though), and I scratched the part outside the watch core, which is indeed fu#king silver painted plastic.

I would have scratched it anyway, it was a mistake, but then...

I try to polish it with a nail polishing machine (with the dedicated thingy, which is like cloth... I don't know what's its name), and I didn't know it was plastic until I tried on the bottom (on a link) and it worked, so I thought "why not!" and I made a fu#king dent on the top.

Which of course is way more visible than the scratch in the first place.

I'm attaching pictures of before and after (they are not that detailed but you'll understand).

I'm going to write Sony about this as I'm pissed about this, they should have said it wasn't ALL stainless steel.

The same thing happened on my Z Ultra, where the borders appear to be aluminum (and Sony said so itself), where it's really silver painted plastic.

[Sony Smartwatch 3] fastest83:
Oh, the thing on the screen is a protective film, there's nothing wrong with the screen itself
[Sony Smartwatch 3] fastest83:
More pics of the inside without the core: it seems like the inner casing is made of plastic, including top and bottom bezels, where the left and right borders seems like steel.

The plastic inside is not painted, so it's pretty clear that the top is painted.

If you look closely you'll see several hinges, the plastic casing seems latched to those. And if you notice, hinges are present only at the sides.

[Sony Smartwatch 3] djgodlike:
WTF? I don't even wanna buy it no more... Too bad, I was looking out for this band. Thanks for sharing. Please keep us updated with Sony's reaction.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] fastest83:
No problems mate, I would have bought it anyway, and since I bought at like 20 euros more than the rubber version, I'm not feeling all that ripped off to be fair.

I just wish they were clear about this particular thing, and I would have paid more for the whole watch in steel.

Seeing the inside, it's clear they could have engineered a simple way to keep the bottom part of the inside casing plastic made (to ensure no harm is done to the core when you swap bands), and the top all in steel.

It could have been done, and it would have costed like 50 cent more (for them) while charging it a premium price (for us).

Anyway, I wrote to the Italian customer care, and as they obviously won't know anything, I will bother other regions like UK/US as well until someone answers.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] supac:
What a pure let down. Can the platic holder be replaced?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] fastest83:
I think it can, but it's yet to see if they'll supply the part to the general market or keep it to the self for the eventual warranty repair...
[Sony Smartwatch 3] fr0st420:
All metal isn't the best thing either. I had the LG g watch r and that thing scratched so easy. That's the main reason I sold it for the sw3.

Sent from my HTC One m8
[Sony Smartwatch 3] fastest83:
Let's differentiate from metal to metal... The LG G R is black metal, which is a pain in the arse to polish, while the SW3 is (at least the band is) stainless steel, satin metal. You can polish it like a thousand times and it will still look good.

That would be the case, if it was all metal.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] dingbatt:
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. It has certainly adjusted what I would be willing to pay for the metal strap to go on my SW3. As soon as it was announced I wondered how they were going to get the watch module to fit in a rigid stainless steel surround. I just assumed it would have a nylon or polycarbonate insert.

I wonder if there is some sort of protective coating that could be applied to the plastic bit to protect it from scratching without spoiling the look.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] tony_reilly:
I have the 'metal' smartwatch 3 as well...

Unfortunately, there would be no way to have it all metal!

The radios wouldn't work... GPS / NFC / Bluetooth, would all really stop working if the top and bottom parts were also metal and not plastic.

Just worth keeping that in mind.

Yeah, it's a bit crappy, but I'm still more than happy with it.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] fastest83:
I don't agree with that. The screen is not made of metal, so there's plenty of space for gps/nfc/bluetooth waves to go out of there. I'd rather have an all plastic core.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] tony_reilly:
You know how LCD screens work right? Especially the Transreflective one in the SW3? It is backed by a silver / metal lining to reflect the light outwards, so putting the radios behind the screen won't work either! If they put an p-oled in there (like the GwatchR), then that might work, but not with the current screen tech.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] fastest83:
You know what? I didn't know that! OK, I'd prefer having the plastic core than, it would be less exposed to scratches...
[Sony Smartwatch 3] tony_reilly:
I was a little taken aback when I noticed it was plastic as well and my first thought was scratches to!

I'm going to keep an eye out for a silver permanent marker in a similar shade, so if it gets scratched I should be able to just 'paint' over it.

Something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Sharpie-Permanent-Markers-Metallic-39108PP/dp/B00009RAX4
[Sony Smartwatch 3] dingbatt:
So how come the NFC sensor is in the middle of the screen?

And there is a bezel that varies from about 2mm to 5mm in width on the front face that isn't metal.

Is the back of the watch module metal or painted plastic? I'm not willing to scratch it to find out.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] fastest83:
The back of the watch module is definitely metal.

Anyway, incredibly enough, Sony Italy has replied to me, saying that the watch is all metal but that metal get scratched too.

I replied posting a pic of the scratched part, let's see if they deny it again.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] thebaldconvict:
That is shocking! It is obvious it is plastic just by feel (and tapping it) without even scratching it I cannot believe they would try and deny it....

Anyway, had mine for about a week now and haven't scratched it just yet but I have knocked it a couple of times and panicked, mine screen protectors haven't arrived yet.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] fastest83:
They eventually (after I posted the pic) admitted the part around the core unit is "high quality plastic".

I wonder, if this is high quality, something low quality would have fallen off the watch just by looking at it.

They told me to bring it to service under warranty, and I think I'll do that just if they let me keep the core unit (I have 2 spare bands).

When I have the time, I'll send it in and keep you posted (even though I think I'll end up with nothing, since it was my mistake).
[Sony Smartwatch 3] thebaldconvict:
I think fault is debatable for this, I haven't found anywhere that warns you it is plastic and regardless of quality I think it would be fair to say plastic/paint will mark easier than stainless steel?

It is sold as the Smartwatch 3 metal, well it was from my retailer, that's not "metal colour" or plastic it says metal... Isn't it fair to say it should be metal then?

Tim
[Sony Smartwatch 3] fastest83:
I'm with you on this, in fact my band is lightly scratched here and there on the metal as well (especially the part below), and i'm not complaining because I know it CAN be polished from a jeweller with no effort at all.

It's all right they sell it as metal, but there should be a flyer inside that says "Despite all efforts etc. etc. we had to compromise and put some plastic around the core unit. Be careful because, even if it's some high quality sh>t, it can be (easily) scratched. Don't try and polish that part because you'll end up having not-scratched-but-also-not-painted-anymore plastic instead of a lightly-scratched-but-still-painted plastic."

I mean, some dishwasher manuals say not to put babies in there while operating, what I wrote makes 1000% more sense than that. :D
[Sony Smartwatch 3] supersonic64126:
Where did you get yours??

Thanks for the info on the plastic surround. It makes sense now...I was wondering how the rigid bodied watch would be held in by a rigid stainless steel bracket without popping out all the time. This is disappointing, but it does make sense. Still beats the spring-clip mechanism on the original Smartwatch! I actually like the Smartwatch 2 I have on now, with no mechanism to pop the watch out. Just comes off your wrist in one piece like normal watches! But they had to go back to the removable thing, didn't they!

Anyway, somewhat off-topic, I do want to get one of these anyway, even with the plasti-steel. BUT WHERE IN THE WORLD DID YOU GUYS GET YOURS!?!? I've been waiting, and waiting, and waiting some more. My Smartwatch 2 is on its last leg (barely turns on anymore) and I don't know how much longer I can wait! I've searched everywhere for this, even called Sony. No luck. Every article I found said this thing was launching globally the second or third week of February. It is now almost April and I still can't buy one at any price! Can someone please send me a link to someone who sells this?? I did find one on eBay, but it was only $150 buy-it-now and was being shipped free from the "Russian Federation" by someone with -1 feedback rating...I decided to pass!

Any help finding one of these would be appreciated. Or alternatively, maybe someone here who bought the steel and is ready to throw it out upon discovering the plastic would want to sell me theirs??

Been a Sony Smartwatcher since the MBW-150, and for the first time in years I don't have a working one! Still wearing the broken Smartwatch 2 on my wrist for weeks now, even though it doesn't even power on! It's pathetic. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

P.S. I'm in the United States
[Sony Smartwatch 3] fastest83:
For the states, here you go:

watch and bands available within days...

[Sony Smartwatch 3] supersonic64126:
Thanks fastest83! I just ordered my Smartwatch 3 in plasti-steel! Funny, expansys didn't come up in any of my searches...thanks for the link! :good:
[Sony Smartwatch 3] fastest83:
No problems mate, glad I could help! :)
[Sony Smartwatch 3] supac:
Are they going to be selling just the metal band? Divk and tired of washing the silicone
[Sony Smartwatch 3] supersonic64126:
I read somewhere that the metal band will be available separately, bit given my struggles in actually finding even the watch with the metal band, I wouldn't plan on finding it any time soon. Supposedly, they will also be releasing an adapter that allows you to use your own watch band. Again, I don't know when. I saw some leather bands on the Sony website. If you could find one of these for sale, they do have a hinge where it appears the band could be removed, so theoretically if you could get one of those, you should be able to take the leather band off and replace with a standard watch band, metal or otherwise. Of course, the surround on those appears to be black, so a silver colored band would look odd, but black steel would be nice.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Megalith:
Anyone know when the "holder" with brown strap will be released?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] TheeDesecrator:
Android Authority (I think) said they contacted Sony and posted a few weeks ago that there was a delay and the watch and bands should be widely available in April. Even knowing that, I've been compulsively checking everywhere else like many of you.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Divine_Madcat:
Well, some idea of a date is better than none. I love my watch, but am dying to get something a little more comfortable (and secure).
[Sony Smartwatch 3] supac:
I want the metal band for my office clothes and the regular silicone during active.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Apb:
Any one had the plastic wear off on the outside corners? I didn't think I was rough with it on daily basis... Still the underlying metal is showing now
[Sony Smartwatch 3] MissileMax:
Mine is wearing out in the same way. I hope replacement bands will become more available soon. My watches always out live the bands, so I am glad they are replaceable.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Apb:
Very true, although 6 months is kinda short for a product... Replacement bands are on my radar too,but seems no priority to any manufacturer... :rolleyes:
[Sony Smartwatch 3] thebaldconvict:
I have to say, I've been pleasantly surprised by mine, I have the steel banded watch and it was me who first started the thread being surprised about finding the front of the steel strap being plastic.

Well I've had it a month or so so far and have knocked it on all sorts by accident (I think because it is slightly larger than my old watch) and other than a few scratches on the screen protector then touch wood I have no marks or wearing yet. I even dropped it once in the Gym, fell about 1.5 meters straight onto a tiled floor, picked it up expecting the worst and luckily all fine.

There is still time though, and would love a silicon band for in the gym..... Hurry up Sony and get the choice of straps out!
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Hesthrim:
Maybe it's just 'cause I'm in Canada, but I still can't find *any* new info on when the bands and the adapter will be available. Anyone else? I'd happily order from the US if that's what it took. I'm dying to slap my own 22mm band on this device. :fingers-crossed:
[Sony Smartwatch 3] speedyg0nz:
The holder kit has 24mm lugs. I guess you could still use the 22mm bands but the watch might slide around. It's a pity that they went with 24mm since I have a bunch of 22mm bands purchased for the Pebble.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Hesthrim:
Thanks for the clarification. 22mm or 24mm, I'm just itching to get my hands on the adapter!

I trust you wonderful humans will keep us appraised and update the very second someone finds one for sale somewhere?

My Strap is Scratched

You guys, your worst fears have been realised, and unfortunately I have to live the nightmare myself..

I woke up one morning to check my watch (which I hadn't been wearing all night) to find a scratch in the top right corner. Whilst small this scratch is so horribly visible. The scratch reveals a dull grey plastic underneath. My £200 pound watch now appears to be extremely unattractive, cheap and the worst part is there seems to be nothing I can do about it.

I have tried everything I can to try to cover up the scratch, i spent around £10 buying different silver sharpies and permanent markers to try to cover these scratches. All of these did not work and some made it look even worse. Luckily they all wiped off and the watch is still in it's original scratched state. It looks horrible and I feel very ripped off.

I do not believe I can return this item now; I have contacted the seller via amazon and a week later and no reply, I have called sony and they have said there is little they can do except purchase a new strap, but they're not selling the metal straps individually yet!!

it's really terrible, what can I do? I am so heartbroken because I really loved this watch, i really really did. It was great and all of a sudden it's not scratched, I don't even remember it being scratched, it looks awful now, so cheap looking, cost me a lot of money and I'm not made of it.

Please can someone help me I am so down about this.

I would spend £30 on a new strap but they don't sell them! Dx

attached is a pic of the scratched watch.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] tomtecs:
Sorry to hear about your accident.

My suggestion is to remove the core and if possible, the band as well, and use spray paint. If you try to cover the scratch itself with dab of paint or marker, you won't succeed unless you can get a perfect colour match.

Try to get the spray paint that matches the band as close as possible, but even if it's not perfect it should be better than seeing the scratch. The uniformity of the paint on the front surface should make it look a lot better.

If you can't remove the band, then just cover it up with masking tape, along with other parts that you may not want the spray paint to adhere. Also, you may want to give the surface to be painted a light sanding first so that the new paint job will stick and not scratch off easily.

N.B. I have not performed this procedure myself and I can't guarantee that the result will be to your satisfaction. If you wish to proceed with this guide/advice, please do so at your own risk.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] callan102:
I really don't want to have to spray paint my £200 watch... I'm sure you understand...

I feel so upset by this it's so unfortunate. But in any case, i will be returning it and complaining that it is made of plastic in the first place, hopefully I'll get a full refund and then I will be buying a new smart watch, not a sony s3 as they have disgustingly made it impossible to replace straps! this has been the most irritating thing i've ever had to deal with !
[Sony Smartwatch 3] dingbatt:
I wish my life was so idyllic that the most irritating thing was a scratch on my watchstrap! Surely you bought your watch for more than just the strap? I would suggest you have a fallback position if they are unwilling to refund your money. Perhaps a replacement strap? Would you consider a rubber strap? The other side of things of course is what watch would you replace it with as all have their own 'irritations'.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] cyberhern:
Very nicely put dingbat! Yes their choice in materials leaves a lot to be desired but, I've had the same situation with significantly more expensive watches. For example my $600 Casio Pathfinder... Impeccably beautiful steel band crappy soft plastic around the glass and edges of the core. scratched after 1 month.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] europeanpaul:
one question: can I swap band keeping the steel case? thank you
[Sony Smartwatch 3] thebaldconvict:
I wouldn't think so looking at it no.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] mstrpeter:
yes, mine is doing the same
[Sony Smartwatch 3] pagof:
mstrpeter

Mine is exactly the same.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] givemevtec:
The band on mine looks painted to match the plastic. Eventually that paint will come off and it won't match the face anyway. If I polished the band it would be more silvery and definitely won't match the face.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] FUSIONdev:
Where did you get the screen protector??? is really better than mine! :silly:
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Harboe:
Wondering about your screen protector as well.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] fastest83:
It was an order I made in the early days of the watch, here it is: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-x-100-G...202814?hash=item462dbefffe:g:t0YAAOSwj0NUeGiu

[Sony Smartwatch 3] pbenoit:
Hello

I've unmounted my steel one for check.

The body part of the watch is not sainless steel. Two lateral parts of steel are here to have a good look. Plastics parts looks a little more yellow than stainless steel.

When tou unmount the watch, you understand that for removing the central part of the watch, the body have to be flexible. Stainless steel don't allow that. For having another solution, the watch would be bigger and heavyer (and with a big cost increase, the part is complex to build).

Such uses are normal for automotive for exemple.

It don't seems to be wrong in this case : it's a casual watche not luxury, then you don't pay the price for a full frame with only stainless steel.

For me this watch is full of good stuffs for the price.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Dandgqro:
Where do you buy the band, I've been trying to buy the brown one that looks more elegant, but i can't find it anywhere, not even in the sony atores on line, even I saw it advertising the sw3 in the sony web page of the uk.

Thanks
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Jacobd212:
Hi it will need to be plastic at the top so the watch core can fit into the band. It needs to be flexible.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] biochemgod:
Unfortunately the plastic bezel is also more fragile than metal - the metal band has now separated from the bezel on both sides after I caught the watch on something. The posts broke the plastic holding them on.
