Very reasonable and useful accessory! But my SmartWatch is not old enough, to be replaced. Perhaps the SW3 will succeed it...

Not too shabby of a statistic. I estimate double with the SW2 in the first year.

I think it's a classic case of untapped potential, nothing be l new for Sony. If Samsung and Apple were to make one barely rivaling the sw1, would they not sell at least 10 times more in the first quarter?
Price it slightly lower and market it like crazy. Build a large ecosystem with apps compatible with it. Then competitors will have a tough time catching up. And then Sony will have a nice headstart for next year.

^ oddly enough only the marketing is missing from Sony; like the previous marketing attempts from
where equally as week. The consensus is showing off the product and the app ecosystem trying to reach millions in each market segment on a global scale while coming up with the costs for marketing on such an endeavor ... what would be the revenues, and of course overall profits to warrant such a move?
Solution: Do not market the SW1/SW2 itself as a single product, as on an end user scale and with industry analysts this type of consumer device is STILL just a consumer niche product. Instead Sony should market this product as a secondary accessory with the Xperia products in the same TV, digital, and print ads ... showing a "solution" ideally introducing a new "ecosystem" of hardware/software in products. This is how you negate the extra marketing costs on a regional or global scale while still reaching massive consumer market. This way you appeal to ALL consumers of smartphones equalling larger potential revenues, while reaching your target market segment or "niche" consumers who WILL purchase the product (should the price be right). All at the same time waking up the analysts.
The SW3 unit, in the future, should also include: biometrics.
we already have 2 apps by Nike, one specific to Apple iOS, etc.
I'd like to have a watch with Kenetics for motion charging, perpetual time accuracy, and ability to take:
heart rate, blood pressure, etc. but doing these accurately and efficiently.

Its definitely niche.
I don't recall seeing anyone wearing a smartwatch ever. I'd buy one for the fun novelty of what it can do. I don't think it'd be as essential as having for example a wireless Bluetooth stereo headset though.

Just to share a few pictures taken on MAE.
Obviously, it's way better than my smart watch.

nice indeed! Also I've never personally seen anyone wear one as well. Bluetooth headsets and stereo bluetooth headsets took a number of years to finally catch on .... like the huge screen smartphones of just 2-3yrs ago people felt so awkward and odd vs the Ericsson :///: bluetooth "honker" original headsets
But both caught on very fast and even now at least around Canada - save for those driving cars I don't see Bluetooth headset or stereo headsets (unless in Winter or at the gym) proliferate like they used to. Its possible that being 1 trick pony's is the reason why. The Bluetooth Watch has the potential to be so much more in the smartwatch but we shall see. We could have a wonderful debate about this
@milukugiuniu,
Thank you for showing these pictures! Woah it is much bigger than SW1 and i'm most impressed and understand about the lower battery life.
