However
Full Android Wear is not available on iPhones. It's by no means the fault of Asus at all – blame Google
Or Apple. You're better off sticking with Android phones here to get full usage from the ZenWatch 2 – that includes all of the ZenWatch apps
Battery is okay but not amazing
Big fat bezel
Slightly uncomfortable
A touch of lag
Questionable performance
Limited fitness features
Gigantic bezels
Plastic back plate
No heart-rate monitoring or GPS
Same display as predecessor
Thick bezel
Stiff leather strap
Looks fall just short of 'premium' Smaller model is still quite big

Lack of heart-rate monitor
Limited iPhone compatibility
Battery is an issue
Some connectivity issues
No heart rate sensor
Identical display and processor as last year's model

Simply put, the ZenWatch 2 is good, but not great. It's far better than the original ZenWatch which puts it much closer to the other Android Wear wearables.Honestly, if you just want to try out a smartwatch without diving in too deep, the ZenWatch 2 is ab...
Anno 2016 a smartwatch cannot be labeled unmissable and essential. It's definitely a nice gadget to have, but you'll get through the day just fine without one, without ever feeling that you miss something. Manufacturers have realized that marketing a sm...

ASUS ZenWatch 2 is a smartwatch that does not excel in the design, when compared with the smartwatch with a round dial, but that has its strength in the price / performance ratio: from only 179 € you have a smartwatch that has virtually all the main featu...
The Asus ZenWatch 2 is a great smartwatch, and is definitely a worthy upgrade from its predecessor. Under the hood, the spec boost definitely makes the difference when interacting with the watch, providing a snappy experience and should compete with watch...

Long battery life, slim case, affordable, works with Android and iOS smartphones
Questionable performance, limited fitness features
The Asus ZenWatch 2's strong build, relatively low price and elongated battery life all make it a suitable entry point for buyers looking for their first smartwatch. Android Wear is platform-agnostic, so they won't have to worry too much about compatibili...
The ZenWatch 2 is a competent but unexciting smartwatch that lacks the smooth performance and stylish looks of its mainstream peers. Nonetheless, it deserves at least a little attention thanks to its fair price and a battery that effortlessly lasts for da...
At just £150, the Asus ZenWatch 2 does a lot of things right. It's a good-looking smartwatch with a decent battery life that's much cheaper than the competition, but it's worth noting that there are also plenty of fitness trackers that do a lot more for l...

Still, the Asus ZenWatch 2 doesn't pretend to be anything but a low-cost, stylish Android Wear smartwatch, and at that job it succeeds well. It looks stylish, it doesn't cost much and the improvements to battery life are a major bonus.For many people, tha...
Mostly stainless steel body, plenty of case and strap choices, fast charging, two size options, great value
Plastic back plate, no heart-rate monitoring or GPS, same display as predecessor, thick bezel, stiff leather strap
Asus has kept down the cost of the ZenWatch 2 by smartly cutting some corners compared to its predecessor, such as foregoing an all-metal design in favour of a plastic back plate and omitting sensors like GPS and a heart-rate monitor. Even so, the...
