My Xperia Z1 Compact has been with me for 9 months now and is about to go on its second trip to the service center soon. I’m successfully deferring that earphone jack repair thanks to my SBH70. At last, thanks to Lazada, I got to force myself to buy this. That and the headset I got doesn’t force the jack to work anymore. Yes, I know it’s not much about the headset, but still.
Moving on, I have one accessory left for my Xperia—the smartwatch. I think it was 4 years ago, Sony Ericsson released its Liveview watch. They offered wearable tech before it was mainstream. It’s becoming a thing now. When Sony acquired the other half of the joint venture, the smart watch became aptly named the Smartwatch. The brand is on its 3rd generation now with the SW3, and it being the first to run Android Wear. The prior models ran on Sony/Ericsson’s own software. The hipster I am and as my wallet prefers, I’ve been eyeing the SW2 for a year now.
Back to the SBH70 bluetooth headset, I’ve eyed it for some time, too. I’m glad Sony released this after the more expensive version, the SBH80. I think I could have forced myself to get the SBH80 instead if cost was the only reason, but it has those rubber mushroom earpieces. I’d go for the SBH70’s any day.
The imitation dock for Z3/Compact that I got for a not so good deal at Glorietta is sitting well there at the office and serves its charging purposes well. With those two and a third accessory hopefully soon, I think I’ll get the complete smartphone and accessories package I’ll be needing. If I’ll be acquiring the last part in the next three months, that would be a year of acquisitions. Hopefully, everything would last until my next projected phone upgrade which is 2 years and 3 months from now.
