Sony SmartWatch 3
Sony
Sony's only Android Wear device, and the only one of the 2014 launch cohort with built-in standalone GPS. Used a transflective LCD (not AMOLED) specifically for sunlight readability, at the cost of a less vivid picture indoors. Sony never released a follow-up and exited the Android Wear market entirely after this device.
