One of the best-looking smartwatches so far ; Slim, premium build ; Battery life among the best for Android Wear

Android Wear still poorly optimised ; Lack of buttons hampers use ; Screen unreadable in bright sunlight

Unfortunately, this very property also makes the display next to useless in bright sunlight. If you crank the brightness up to maximum it’s just about visible, but then this is too bright for most other occasions and it drains battery. Android Wear...

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

There's still no such thing as a perfect Android Wear watch, but ASUS' first offering sadly doesn't do much to stand above the crowd. The ZenWatch's design is the biggest reason to own one -- it's subtly stylish and comfortable in a way that other...

Beautifully crafted ; Well built ; Reasonably priced ; Interchangeable straps

Pixellated screen ; Lackluster fitness features ; Semi-comfortable ; 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.

Great looking design ; Bright display ; Comfortable to wear

Inaccurate step counting ; Short battery life ; Android Wear still needs work

Great design, comfortable strap, good display, some software extras

Charging needs the base, some software duplication, Bluetooth connection issues

The curved glass, metal design, and clear screen make this one of the better looking Android Wear devices to be launched so far, and from what we've seen so far it looks and performs better than the Gear Live or the G Watch.

High-end materials, Watch band is replaceable (22 mm), Heart rate sensor works well, Cool application features, Current version of Android Wear

Movement is not always recognized correctly, IP certification could be better, Readability in direct sunlight is not great, Battery life is not very long

All things considered, the Asus ZenWatch (Wi500Q) is quite an impressive smartwatch. We really appreciate the high quality materials like stainless steel and leather, which make the smartwatch look more elegant and less like a high tech gadget. We also...

The Asus ZenWatch isn’t the most impressive smartwatch we’ve ever used, but it’s not the worst either. It’s a very good-looking, stylish smartwatch – something that’s a rarity in the smartwatch industry. The lack of buttons is definitely an issue,...
