Asus ZenWatch

Asus Zenwatch brings elegance and class to Wear Android space with surprisingly competitive price.

Asus ZenWatch: Design and Features

The main feature is a 1.63-inch screen with a resolution of 320 x 320. It is the AMOLED screen. It is bright, sharp and colorful - all the things you want from any screen. This is not a curved screen, but Asus ZenWatch has a curved design. Glass on the front has a gentle curve to it and the frame slightly tapered giving the appearance Asus ZenWatch watch as more than rival boxier. 

I also like the brown leather strap. It goes well with black and gold fascia subtle highlights. It is smartwatch with a little style. And if you do not like straps, watch straps supporting the standard and there is a quick release mechanism that makes it easy to change. On the inside it's pretty standard. There is 512MB of RAM, 4GB of internal storage and a battery 1.4Wh that claim you will get one day of use. Yes, it may look nice, but Asus ZenWatch will need charging every day. Just add it to the list on the bedside table.

Asus ZenWatch: Screen

Asus ZenWatch equipped with a 1.63-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 320 x 320. The colors are nice and vibrant, a good point, and it can not be very bright, so it is easy to see while outdoors. This screen has a slight curve to it, and just glide your finger on it while swiping or scrolling, make him feel much better and more natural to interact with. The bezel around the screen, however, very thick because biometric sensors built, but blacks were AMOLED display allows for dark watch face means that blend much better with the bezel.

Asus ZenWatch: Software

There are also several smartphone apps that Asus has built for Asus ZenWatch. The Asus ZenWatch Manager allows you to customize the watch face with changing colors, and choose what information you want displayed. You can also use smartwatch to unlock your mobile device by passing a pin or pattern when the watch close to your phone. You can also cover the clock with your hand to turn off the alarm or incoming call, send an SOS message to a designated emergency contacts, find watches you use the phone or vice versa, has a clock vibrate if you stray too far from your mobile phone, and use it as a flashlight or compass.

Being Wear Android devices, many of the software is standard for all Android devices Wear. That means a strong dependence on voice search to access all the features.There are a few touches Asus, though. Most, not surprisingly, ranging integrate with other devices and ecosystems ZenUI Asus was developing on Android.Unfortunately watches I see are all in demo mode, but here's a quick run down of what you can do.

Remote Camera

It allows you to control your phone or tablet Asus camera, so you can frame the shot and take it using your watch. Probably of limited use in real life, but it may be useful to selfies contrived.

Find My Phone

It does not require explanation, although not need your phone is within range of the Bluetooth. This is not magic.

Watch Enable

Unlock your phone using your SmartWatch. I'm not sure how useful this one, but it's a neat trick.

Close to Mute

If you have a phone call you do not want to take now, close at hand with the palm of the hand and will turn off your cell phone. A neat little time saver.

Tap Tap

It is user configurable features. Simply select your favorite features and a double tap on the phone will activate it.

The Asus ZenWatch also supports Asus' What's Next and Do It Later app for alerts where you have to be what is and what you should be doing.

Asus ZenWatch: Battery Life

The Asus ZenWatch equipped with a 360 mAh battery that Asus claims will provide a full day of battery. In my experience, it's better, and I consistently get at least two days of use even with the screen always on mode is enabled. Because this is an AMOLED display, the entire screen is not lit when in dim conditions, and you may be able to push the battery life further by using watchface with a black background.

Conclution

Given the functions of Android Wear remain consistent between devices, there is not much separating Asus ZenWatch from all others in the mix this time. Yes, it distinguishes itself, similar to how the competitors do, by providing us with a new face to watch, a different approach to health / wellness, and how to measure heart rate. Shallow, however, we would not necessarily say it was a step forward in the experience.

Visually, it is a sophisticated look for things that garners looks and questions from the observer to the impressive construction and premium finishes - the hallmarks of every timepiece impressive.  Of course, we did not find any fault in choosing it if you insist on buying one today, but it will be interesting to see how its competitors are able to improve their second-generation bidding.
