New Delhi: Asus has unveiled its first wearable device - ZenWatch. The smartwatch runs Android Wear OS and features a version of the ASUS ZenUI developed specifically for the ZenWatch.
It sports a curved display, leather watchband and a quick-release clasp design. This device pairs with a smartphone running Android 4.3 or higher.
Priced at 199 euros (about Rs 16,000), the ZenWatch seems to have dashed the hopes of tech enthusiasts who were expecting a budget Android Wear smartwatch after Samsung and LG introduced their smartwatches at Rs 16K.
The ZenWatch will compete with the Moto 360, LG G Watch and Samsung Gear Live. The smartwatch is expected to come to India by the end of this year.
It comes with a selection of instantly-changeable software watch faces, allowing users to customise the ZenWatch.
Users can reject or mute a call with the watch. Its remote camera feature lets you control your phone's camera. The companion Asus ZenUI Wellness app lets users monitor and track a range of wellness statistics including steps taken, calories burned, activity duration, heart rate, exercise intensity and relaxation level.
The phone was unveiled at Asus pre-IFA event in Berlin and the smartwatch will be on display at the tech show.
