Comfortable life with the new idea smartwatch "Wena 3": convenient because Suica electronic money can be used.Surprising pitfalls

Sony's smart watch "Wena 3" (actual price around 26,400 yen).Because there is a device on the wrist side, it is convenient when passing the ticket gate

Three months after using Sony's smart watch "Wena 3".It is a new idea product that has a smart device on the wrist and buckle part of the wristwatch.The silicone rubber band "Wena 3 Rubber" I tried is a Suguremono where the head of the watch can be easily attached and detached.When you go out, you can use it as a wristwatch, and at home, you can remove the watch and use it alone.

The usability of "Wena 3", which is delivered three times, will be delivered this time.

You can use the transportation IC card "Suica"!

Last time, Wena 3 has a device on the wrist side, so I wrote that the train ticket gates can be passed smoothly ... but "Wena 3" is a transportation IC card Suica in addition to Rakuten Edy, ID, QuicPay.Also supports.It is quite convenient to be able to use multiple electronic money.It will be easier to go out by hand.

SUICA setting is performed with the smartphone's "Wena 3" app.Select "Suica" from "Payment setting" in the menu and tap "SUICA".Agree with the terms and register the information you need to issue Suica, such as your name and date of birth.

To issue Suica in Wena 3, a charge of 1,000 to 5,000 yen is required.Since I work with Android smartphones, I set the amount and tap "Pay on GPAY", so I was able to charge from the credit card registered in Google Pay.

It is not compatible with auto charge, so if the balance is low, you need to charge it each time.But that was not so troublesome because it could be easily done by tapping the smartphone.You cannot purchase a commuter pass or a SUICA green ticket, but it supports the Shinkansen reservation service of JR East, JR Tokai, and JR West area.

Even those who are already using mobile Suica on their smartphones need to issue a new Suica (no deposit is required).Since the use is two and for smartphones, two Suica are needed.However, JRE POINT, which is accumulated by Suica riding, can be stored properly by registering on the JRE POINT site.

Beware of Android groups, electronic money other than Suica compatible with iOS

"Wena 3" can also use Rakuten Edy, ID, and QuicPay.However, these settings are somewhat troublesome for Android smartphone users.In fact, these electronic money must be set up using the iOS app "Osaiflink".Although "Wena 3" itself has an electronic money function, this is the only application "Osaiflink" to use it, so this is the case.

I was able to set it because I had a job and an iPhone, but this was a big task for using "Wena 3" on an Android smartphone (even on the official website, "If you only have an Android device, you can Otarifi.Since the link cannot be used, the electronic money function cannot be set. "

Nevertheless, it is only the first setting that requires an iPhone, so it may be possible to have the "Osaiflink" app installed on the family's iPhone, for example (although it seems to be careful ...).

I needed to apply to the card company to use ID and QuicPay, so I set only Rakuten Edy.The procedure is forced to end the "Wena 3" app from the Android smartphone settings.From the display of "Wena 3" tool → Setting → Initialization, initialize "Wena 3".If you use Suica, you may be worried that the deposit amount will be zero, but please be assured that the payment information will not be initialized.

Once "Wena 3" can be initialized, next is the connection with the iPhone.Paired with Bluetooth from the settings.Start the "Osaiflink" app, select Rakuten Edy and set it initially.If the edy number is distributed, it is OK to use Rakuten Edy with "Wena 3"!

After that, the "Wena 3" connected to the iPhone is re -initialized to connect to the Android device again.Delete "Wena 3" registration from the iPhone Bluetooth settings and pair with Android devices.If you make the initial settings, you will be able to use Rakuten Edy in "Wena 3".

The setting of electronic money other than Suica, which is very troublesome for the Android group, is connected to Android devices, connected to the iPhone, turns the iPhone after setting, and connects to the Android device again.For that reason, many Android users who use Wena 3 seem to use only Suica.

[In the first edition, the features of Wena 3 and the use style are introduced.In the 3rd, I checked the healthcare function.]
