'Asus ZenWatch 2' specs, features, price: Includes a different look
Features of the new Asus ZenWatch have been released.
It was reported that the new addition to the ZenWatch series will present a different look.
The previous ZenWatch offered one variant, which was a two-tone metal case and brown leather strap. The Asus ZenWatch 2 will feature a wide range of designs for the watch. It will include different sets of bands such as metal, leather, and rubber.
Asus describes, "ZenWatch 2 is designed to be a truly personal device that wearers can customize even further to express their unique sense of style. Available in two sizes and three stainless-steel case colors, with 18 different strap material and color combinations, and instantly-changeable and customized watch faces along with an app that lets wearers design their own, there is truly a ZenWatch 2 for everyone."
Also, the watch will be available in two sizes, much like the watches from Apple and Motorola. The small version of the watch is designed for small-wristed men, as well as women. While the first generation of ZenWatch had a subtle button on the right, the new version made an easier accessible button on the side. It also features a magnetic clip-on charger, as opposed to the type of charger that was provided in the previous version. Unfortunately, it does not enable wireless charging.
The ZenWatch 2 is available for around $165, which makes it a rival against the Moto 360, Huaweu Watch, and LG Watch Urbane.
The press release for the device reads, "Crafted with absolute attention to detail using high-quality materials, ZenWatch 2 is a precision watch that serves as a smart companion to Android smartphones, providing wearers with timely information at a glance and letting them get things done with a simple touch or voice command."
The Asus ZenWatch 2 will be available for sale in the United Kingdom next month.
