Sony S3 smart watch List of approved bluetooth (R) headsets

Hi All,

Hope someone can help me.

I just purchased the Sony S3 smart watch with the hope of using the "Play on Wear" function to play music that I have saved locally on my s3 smartwatch device via a wireless Bluetooth headset.

The main reason I purchased the smart watch was to be able to listen to music while I run connect smart watch to Bluetooth headset and listen to music on the go. No smart phone required.

So I setup the smart watch and synced my music - all good. The device is setup and synced to my Android smart phone - happy days.

The Bluetooth head set can connect to my android phone and play music and make a phone all via my Android smartphone, no problem.

The issue is on the S3 smartswatch I go to
>play music>Play on Wear>it say no audio devices connected - Go to settings?
So I choose yes (the green correct mark) go to settings>"scanning for nearby devices" - the smartwatch fails to find the audio device (my blue tooth headset)

So I do a bit of googling and find that Sony s3 smart watch requires a bluetooth (R) receiver headset in order to connect the audio device (bluetooth (R) headset) to the S3 smart watch.

Can somebody recommend to me a blue tooth (R) headset that they know works with the S3 smartwatch.

I am looking for sports design - I have a pair of skull candy SB2 (something that is similar to that model that is not super expensive and that works with the S3.

I gave a bit of history to issue encase some body else comes across same issue.

I was unable to include the full http link "support.sonymobile.com/global-en/swr50/userguide/Music/" - as I am a new user on IB.

Thanks in advance,

Have you put the SB2s into pairing mode? Bluetooth is a set of standards and incompatibility is very rare. Newer devices support BTLE(low energy) but they're backwards compatible.

Hi Claude,

4GB storage enough to get you through a good gym session and the qualify is very good. The skull candy ear phones are good quality.
The Sony S4 smartwatch is due out soon..
