Enjoy, I purchased one.
I did too: €56,83 including delivery to the UK from Expansys France. Some reviews (at least in French) say it is a female watch. Looks quite big and male too me. We shall see.
With an name like "evening classic" one would get the impression it is a women's watch. However from the pictures it certainly looks like a mens watch to me.
Got it now - looks male and big but the wrist strap is too short

Yea I had the same problem, it fit on the last hole. Also the display on mine faded to where you can't see it in the first night. Is yours still working?
I guess all the functions work with the PLAY? (I have small wrists, this would be good!)

With the openwatch program everything worked great, its just that the display quit in less then 12 hours.
Had mine for 3 days, does not seem to have any problems with the screen or battery but maybe because i haven't discharged it yet. Vibrates and shows messages on the screen so the display was used only limited number of times. Hope it won't fade quickly as paid more money to replace the wrist band.

"MBW-200 series comes in three distinct designs; Sparkling Allure, Contemporary Elegance and Evening Classic. "
"Missed an important call or SMS because you couldn’t hear or find your phone at the bottom of your handbag?"
Now, unless things are THAT much different between the US and the EU, I would think those 2 lines would be a dead give-away that this was intended to be a Ladies' watch.
That would explain the wrist band being so small, as well.

....Sony Ericsson MBW-200 Evening Classic, a device of the “modern ladies” lineup of devices of the manufacturer.

Too bad I already asked for it for Christmas. Also I mean the damn thing is huge compared to a normal ladies watch, and the design is similar to any mens watch, so would it really be that bad for a man to wear?
EDIT: I looked up the other 2 watches in the lineup and they are very obviously Women's in design....
Don't worry it is huge and doesn't look female. Strap is too short for big wrist however. Battery on mine is only one third down after more than five days use. Some report it last only hours but redoing Bluetooth connection from scratch seems to fix it for them. No led problems on mine yet. I was surprised to keep in car Bluetooth connection despite watch being connected to phone all the time.

I've got the MBW150 Music Edition and the MBW200 Evening Classic. The 200 does look more feminine but it's nothing that can't be solved by switching to a more manly band. There is a tiny crystal at the 12 o'clock position but no one will ever judge it on that alone.
The 150 was available in Classic, Executive, and Music editions with leather, metallic link, and rubber wrist bands respectively. I don't think the name implies what gender it is for.
Btw on first charge it lasted 7 days and a bit. On second charge it is only 1/3 discharged after almost 10 days. Connected to the phone all the time.

I got the 200 for Christmas today, I have to say looking at it, it does have a bit of a feminine look to it, but that goes right out the window when you see the digital display. I showed my family who thought it was one of the craziest things they ever saw (they are easily impressed). It works great so far, all the functions are good. Also I have small wrists so the band works for me.
I did disconnect it from my phone since its now sitting in my watch box, and I likely won't leave it connected all the time as I won't be wearing it except at work or when I go out. Don't want to destroy it when I'm working on the car or something.
Well this sucks. After 15 days it stopped turning on even though the battery said it still had half its juice left. So i plugged it in, charged it, and it will charge, but as soon as I disconnect the charger its dead as a rock.
They are taking mine on return exchange, but their site no longer lists it, I have a feeling I'm getting a refund.
lol if you want my opinion...
are you THAT LAZY!
or is this Buck Rodgers 1984 dystopian nightmare.
Just glad I'm not wearing one. wouldn't want to catch the flak from looking like a nerd

I've had a MBW-150 for 3 or so years, never had an issue and always used! I highly recommend purchase, though at $300, I would avoid the -150
I just got my nexus tablet today and right after turning it on, I noticed that the backlight comes in very uneven from the left. I can pretty much see exactly where each light is shining from and it creates bright spots on the left of the screen. Add to that, it appears some of the backlights aren't even working as the lower half of my screen is dark most of the time and there are gaps in the lighting.
I will post pix in a bit.
Did you try the "fix" for the screen? I read from another forum in General that has you press on the left side of the bezel fairly strongly to press the clip on that side back into place? Mine is sitting at home in its box as I'm away at the moment, but I'm sure I will be nervous and praying for a good unit when I open mine up. Given my luck on that last few android devices I've purchased, I may very well be in the aisle with the ones with defects. If it had an issue, such as backlight problems, dead pixels, etc., I will be sure to call Google up and ask for an exchange. I'm very excited, but nervous as well. I'd like to know though the portion of devices that are actually defective. We all know that if you have a problem, you are much more likely to complain and post than the thousands out there that have the device and have no problems. Let's hope the amount is in the small minority, and is not something wide spread like the old Galaxy Vibrant and its GPS signal.
I will try the firm pressing... As far as complainers, its true. The ones with bad devices will have a much louder presence online. At any rate. Im severely disappointed.
I was on hold for half an hour before I just gave up.
I should have bought this in store from a B&M retailer so I could just return it instead. At least my iPad still works...
Okay, here are the pix...

thanks for the sympathy! I hope so too, but contacting google for support is a PITA. I already sent an email but I will call again tomorrow.
Honestly, this is the 2nd and last time I will purchase any physical device straight from google. Trying to contact customer support is such a challenge. I'll just go back to amazon for all my purchasing needs
Had the exact same issue 100%. Easy fix, 58 minutes on hold, a 30 second conversation, and they are overnighting me a new one. Stick this one in that box when it gets here, apply RMA label and drop off at UPS store or call them to come get it if that's better for you sir.
Your leds are dead. Definitely need a replacement.

Yeah, I just got off the phone with them about 15 minutes ago after a 53 minute wait. I believe they are 24 hour service.
thanks, I guess ill get some BF3 in while I wait lol!
strange... they said they will contact me again later on. I already got the email from them with just the basic ticket info. He didn't mention anything about overnighting me another unit.
I'm debating if I should just ask for a full refund instead of an exchange...
after passing the 48 hour window they originally said, I called in again. Now they are telling me to wait till Monday.
If come Monday I hear nothing I will just call my CC company and stop payment. This is ridiculous.
Looks like a gap has developed allowing backlight to seep through. Try reseating the assembly as others have stated or just RMA.

I dont think its simply a screen separation issue because the lower LED's act irratically vs the top LEDs. Its more noticeable when the screen dims. The top will dim normally whereas the bottom LED will just shut off completely.
Massive off topic: Guys, make sure you all have smoke alarms in your home. Just saved my & my girlfriend's life. Accidentally turned the oven on (fckng ridiculous in itself that you can flick the buttons on that easily..) max. Lid was down, towel that was on it started burning half an hour later. Girlfriend was sleeping (3 am here), I should have been as well.
I noticed the smell in my computer room, 5 seconds later the alarm started. Threw the towel in the sink, have now everything open to get the smoke out.
Without it..? Fck knows..
They're at most 10$ / piece. Just saved two lives probably. Get them tomorrow !!
Smoke detectors kick ass.

Cheapest & best safety investment anyone can make..
Thanks OP, good advice!
Kind of related.. I left a candle burning on my coffee table without thinking about it, jumped in the shower for 10 minutes and when I got out the WHOLE candle was on fire! I've never seen anything like it. Didn't even know it was possible.
So don't forget to blow out you candles as well, even if your only going to be out of the room for a few minutes.

5 years ago, just closed the pub at 3 am. While waiting for the bartender who's on the phone fighting with his girl, I'm checking the window of a little furniture & gift shop across the road. I'm thinking, "hm, there's a bit of smoke in there. Ow, and a candle. OW, the fckng decoration curtain that is above it is burning!!". Called fire brigade, instant almost response, place saved with minor smoke damage. No insurance would have ever covered the stupid young girl's mistake to leave a huge candle burning after close. Poor people are still trying to give me discounts whenever I buy gifts.
Buy smoke alarms! Or have alert bar staff across the road..!!
P.S. Hate candles passionately..
Scary stuff! Glad you guys are ok. Be sure to test your smoke detectors every 6 months as well. In the US, daylight savings time is the standard reminder. Do you have something like that in your country?
I think my next move would be replacing that oven.

Good idea!
The alarms I have though do produce a short peep (very loud) as soon as the battery starts getting low. I just changed the battery in one of them actually. And, proactively, the one in the alarm that just went off..
I'll deal with the oven hereafter. Ordering child-safe button covers.
Glad you and your girlfriend are alright.

Ordered from Newegg yesterday and got it today afternoon.
They had the lowest price ($130 for upgrades) plus no taxes and Free Next Day Shipping - can't beat that.
Felt like a kid on Christmas morning waiting for the driver to drop it off.
Activation and set-up took a while; now I am up and running.
Can't wait to explore this baby in depth.
In the meantime, if anyone has any advice on what to check for within the 14 day return period, i would appreciate it.

Thanks guys.
The back button did seem a bit off to me; I thought maybe it was me not touching it correctly. Then came on here and read the thread about the update which seems to have fixed it.
I read about the microscopic gaps in the Anandtech review, but I'm not sure if I can see any gaps with my eyes.
Will check on the others and see if I find anything amiss.
After you did all of the above, go and take pictures and video's at night. Go meet Zoe. Watch a video with volume all the way up. Blast some tunes through a good set of headset. Then report back.
Right, I may or may not be alone in this but the rattle from my power button was really starting to p**s me off. I could hear it clearly when the phone was at arms length and I tapped the screen anywhere in the top half. I thought it was the camera at first, then found holding the power button still whilst using the phone stopped it. This morning I was using my phone and decided to do something about it.
First can I say this was not any normal rattle (i.e camera lens), you could clearly hear it at arms length whilst tapping the screen in the top half. I made this video because people have told me they have the same issue. If you take your phone apart and break it, that's not my fault.
For those that have this problem and decide to do this, I hope it helps It has made me a hell of a lot happier with the phone.

Ah, forgot to mentiom, this is my 2nd one. Bought my first one and heard the rattle, took it back after 2 hours. The replacement does the same thing and looking on here in the defects thread it seems a few people have the problem. There's no sort of warranty seal inside the phone and the stuff can easily be taken out again should it die for some reason and I need to get a new one under warranty.

Some people analyse small insignificant things too much, surely it couldn't have made an audible noise level outside of a sound proof box.
Did the sales person look at you bemused or did he test the rattle and end up deafened by it?

He agreed that he could hear the rattle. It may not have seemed that important to him in a loud and busy shop, but when you're sat on your sofa in the evening and even the slightest of taps near the top of the screen make it rattle it doesn't take long before it becomes very annoying. If it were just when I shook the phone near my ear or something then I would have just accepted it, but it's the fact it is hard to ignore,even at arms length, made me want to do something about it.
