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
No fitness features beyond pedometer
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
Over half the cost of other smartwatches at $129.99, More choices than before: size, color & bands, ZenWatch Manager App is a great companion app
Lacks a heart rate sensor, Doesn't have quite the same premium feel as other watches, Tough to see the screen under sunlight

Size The larger ZenWatch 2 is thicker than last year's watch, making it uncomfortable for smaller wrists
I wasn't expecting the ZenWatch 2 to be a better watch than, for example, the Huawei Watch, but that's not what Asus is going for anyway. The Huawei Watch starts at $350, and the ZenWatch 2 is less than half that price if you go for the base model. Still...
