Users on xda say,on heavy usage will last a day or two. A week on using sparingly.

The only thing that worries me is that Android phones already have such poor battery life and bluetooth switched on all the time will just render it useless.

Think of the screen on time you are saving, which is the major battery drain than bluetooth. You don't have to switch on your phone for every random msg and mail.
For me at-least this should save an hour of screen on time roughly per day, which translates to more battery life.

its great for people having tablets with GSM capabilities , pair it with tablet and keep it in bag or anywhere , if some important call is coming check using watch and attend using bluetooth headset , no need to take tab out for message or calls frequently .

and compared to chronograph watches we get for 5k+ , this is much smarter and useful watch .

Got this from xda:

Liveview was Sony's first smartwatch I would say version 1. I have that also no where near as good as the new Sony smartwatch.

The first LiveView has a non-touchscreen display. What else is different (apart from software changes in MN2)? At 2.7k, it sounds value for money!

I bought the first version off eBay for 1.9k Surely, can't go wrong for that price.

This same watch is now available on ebay.com for 20 $

22.xx $ on amazon.com but amazon has started to now apply tax in few states. Not sure if it is only ships and sold by amazon or even the marketplace sellers.
