SmartWatch + S3 Mini?

[leecant]

I don't suppose anyone has any idea how to get a SmartWatch working with an S3 mini?
I just bought a Sony Smart Watch 3, it can pair up no problem; but it won't connect

Any help would be good -]

Welcome to Android Central! Android Wear requires Android 4.3 or higher--what is your S3 Mini on? From what I can tell on Sammobile.com, the highest it got was 4.1.2, so it won't be compatible.

The S3 Mini got 4.4.2 on Verizon and AT&T as far as I know. If it's not on those carriers, I'm afraid OP may have to resort to custom ROMs or a newer phone.
