Handsome, understated design, Feels good on your wrist, Inexpensive compared to competing models
Mediocre battery life, Clasp can get in the way of clothes, Heart rate monitor isn't always reliable
ASUS's first Android Wear watch is one of the most stylish we've seen, and feels great on the wrist, to boot. Unfortunately, it suffers form mediocre battery life, an erratic heart monitor and an unsightly bezel surrounding the screen. In the end, though...

Clasp sticks out and can get caught on stuff, Water resistant, but not entirely water proof
Before we pass our final judgment, we have to remember the humble beginnings of early Android Wear smartwatches – they weren't pretty, that's for sure. With each new model coming to fruition, though, we're constantly being impressed by the rapid improveme...

Abstract: Lisa Gade reviews the Asus ZenWatch, a $199 Android Wear smartwatch. The ZenWatch is the newest and also the most affordable Android Wear watch as of Jan. 2015, but it doesn't cut corners. This is an attractive watch with a stainless steel body, Gorilla G...
Looks and feels a little different to other smart watches; Comfortable; Offers more customisable watch faces than other smart watches; Leather strap is quite nice;
Requires an extra app "Asus ZenManager" to work; Crashes fairly frequently, and usually when Bluetooth is used for something else; Screen doesn't always respond when you wave your hand or bring it back from standby; Only one day of battery life;
There's certainly something intriguing about the Asus ZenWatch, and it's not a nod back to the skeuomorphism of circular smartwatches. Indeed, it's something else.It might be the two-tone style, with silver and bronze utilised in a design that tries to be...

Beautifully crafted, Well built, Reasonably priced, Interchangeable straps
Pixellated screen, Lackluster fitness features, Semicomfortable, Too much bezel
If you're after a stylish smartwatch that does your basic range of Android Wear things, the ZenWatch is worth a look. Beyond that, there's little difference from the other similarly priced Android Wear watches....
