Does it actually show the text message on the watch?

Yes it does but an earlier answer in incorrect about replying to a message.You can send a voice reply that will convert to text,it is a bit clumsy as most speech to text is,but it works well enough.In the top corner of a top is a drop down menu,in that there are the select reply pre-phased such as "I'm late I be there in minutes" or "What's up?'.Below that is S VOICE REPLY ,in this watch the speaker-mic is in the latch inside the wrist,speaking directly into that adds to the chances the text will be correct.

If you have notifications turned on your gear, then tapping the notification will allow you to read the entire text.

Yes it does. You can also reply with gerneric response. You have to use your phone to repond with the text you want to respond with. You can be in one room and your phone in another and receive a text or phone call in while you're in the other room. As long as you're within range of your phone you will be good.

No. The watch only shows you the data that is transmitted by its linked phone application. This data tends to be of your current activity.

yes, the watch speaks the actual time, when you press the talking button and the alarm time when set. when not using the alarm, make sure that the bell is not showing. it drains the battery. when the watch stops working, due to a depleted battery, replacing the battery is difficult and if you actually, get the new battery installed, you generally lose the speaking feature. so, the watches are pretty much disposable. i have had several of these watches and have had to discard them after trying to change the battery and losing the speaking feature. hope this helps!

No, when the mode button is pushed the watch will vibrate. This a feature intended to notify uses that they have indeed changed the mode.

No. I couldn't get the app that they recommended to use for iPhones to even work with my watch. I was hopeful, but you won't be able to receive notifications on your watch from your phone, ie no text messages on your watch.

Unfortunately no. Its based solely on Bluetooth technology (as ALL the smartwatches currently are) and gets all the data via your smartphone. Thus its not really a "smartwatch" more so a "notification watch"! Non-the-less still pretty cool/helpful. Side note however, Sony is releasing a NEW smartwatch this year and many other companies just released a handful of decent watches. I'd recommend doing a little more research (Google/YouTube) and finding a newer option! Good luck.

No, it just has a blinking light which tells you how many messages you have.

No, but it shows all the numbers very clearly as shown. This is the best product which I am using. If you have money you can try what ever you want to buy with high technology like showing heart rate etc but if you don't have money like me and if you want some decent product you should buy this.

It will not read the messages aloud to you(like using text to speech) but it will display the message. You can send a text using S Voice to do speech to text which works fairly well or you can use predetermined replies that you can add your own canned replies to and then you may select one of those to send as a text. You cannot currently type a reply on the watch. I find that if you have some good canned replies that it is typically all you need for a quick reply.

yes. If you purchase the Smart Phone Call Handling App, the watch works in conjunction with your bluetooth ear piece and your phone. When you recieve a call, you are notified on the watch, ( with the app, you get an option of answer or reject w/message) and if you want to take the phone call, you accept on the watch, then it will automatically connect via your bluetooth ear piece.

Not sure. I stopped using the watch as the screen was too smal to practically use. I

I just took mine outside on a very bright day, and the numbers are still very visible. I know the phenomenon you are asking about, I've seen it on digital watches in the past. That does not happen with this unit's display. Hope that helps! It's a good little unit, I'm very happy with it....

I don't think so..... just iphone and android; to my knowledge.... if you choose to get one, choose the newer model (2014) it's cheaper and actually stores SMS so that you can look at them later. all of them work with SIRI for the iphone which means you can control the watch with voice

Hi dear seller. This watch doesn't show anything. Only o'clock in the screen. I used to normal only 2 weeks then it stopped

Yes, for the most part. However, I've noticed that it has occasionally been off, mostly overestimating my speed and distance. My other complaint is that it takes a few minutes to locate the gps signal. It also seems that the watch functions better when fully charged.

I don't know. What I can tell you is it takes forever to get the GPS (over 5 min ) I use the watch less and less.
