Asus launched its second smartwatch, the ZenWatch 2, a stylish and personalized wearable device powered by Android Wear. The new smartwatch will be available from AED 799 across the Emirates.
The ZenWatch 2 is a high quality device designed for wearer personalization and will be available in two sizes and three attractive colors — Silver, Gunmetal, and Rose Gold. It has 18 different strap material and colour combinations, including a Swarovski patterned leather strap, and the new FaceDesigner smartphone app that lets wearers create 50 different watch faces with customized style and functionality.
Ethan Ling, Country Product Manager Asus Middle East commented, “The smartwatch category is still relatively new here, but there is a huge opportunity for growth in this market and the Asus ZenWatch 2 is going to be a step-change in the design of wearable devices. We build our smartwatches not only to exceed consumer expectations in terms of quality and design, but it also to reflect their own personal look as well as lifestyle. The ZenWatch 2 with its sleeker design, extended battery life, and a responsive user experience has already been well-received globally, so we are expecting the success and popularity to replicate in this region and capture consumer attention, particularly during the festive season.”
Made from high-quality materials, the smartwatch features an efficient and powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon400 processor. It also serves as a smart assistant for Android and iOS devices, that provides wearers with a convenient, at-a-glance view of incoming calls, messages, notifications and other important information without having to remove their phone from their pocket or bag.
ZenWatch 2 comes with a wide-range of software features, including Asus ZenUI apps, Business Helper, FoneHelper, Remote Camera, and ZenWatch Message. In addition to software improvements, ZenWatch 2 comes with an enhanced battery that provides up to two days of use on a single charge. An all-new magnetic charger effortlessly attaches to ZenWatch 2 and provides 35% faster battery recharge times than the original Asus ZenWatch. It takes just 36 minutes to charge ZenWatch 2 from zero to 50% capacity — enough power for a full day of use.
