Widgets for Speedometer for the Sony SmartWatch 2

The Sony SmartWatch 2 has the really cool feature of watchface widgets – meaning you can place any information on the screen, which is visible all the time, and since the screen is not illuminated most of the time, the battery life is preserved quite a bit.

The Speedometer app takes advantage of this SmartWatch 2 novelty and now displays the data in two kind of widgets:
1) The full speedometer widget – which displays the same data as the app itself, and is therefore taking all the space of the screen.

Full speedometer widget, displays all data and takes up the whole screen area.

2) The speed widget – which displays only the current speed data, and therefore takes only a tiny portion of the screen, leaving it up to you to decide how to fill the rest of the screen area.

The minimal widget - displays only the current speed (bottom right corner), leaving it up to you to fill up the rest of the screen with the information you prefer.

Speedometer / compass for Sony’s SmartWatch and Smart Wireless Headset Pro

Ever wondered how fast you were travelling, on a boat, in a bus or a taxi, or while riding your bike, but had no means at hand to find out? I often did. That’s why I felt the need of the Speedometer / Compass app for Sony’s Smart Extras – the SmartWatch and the Smart Wireless Headset Pro.

It’s an app that uses your phone’s GPS capabilities to read the current speed and direction of movement. Displayed are: the speed, clock, run-time, maximal speed reached, distance passed, phone battery status and the direction of movement.

You need to point SmartWatch / Smart Wireless Headset Pro towards the direction of movement in order to correctly read the compass indication, i.e. the green arrow that points towards North.
