Coming to the ZenWatch 2, it takes a shot at the Apple Watch by offering two dial sizes and a wide array of customisation options with different bands and materials. It even gets a crown on the right side but it just a power button but not a scrolling unit like the one on Apple Watch.

The ZenWatch 2 gets a new magnetic charger. Asus hasn’t revealed much about its specifications but is focussing more on its feature list for the time being. All that we know is that it gets AMOLED display with 2.5D curved Corning Gorilla Glass 3, is powered by a Qualcomm processor, runs Android Wear and has IP67 water resistance. It has a battery life of about 4 days and it can go even further with that.

It will be joined in by the Wellness app which will serve as your activity tracker. It also gets an improved version of Remote Camera under which you get better control over your smartphone’s camera. The smartwatch also gets ZenUI integration. Details regarding the pricing and other specifications are expected to be announced in future.
