It has a genuine stitched leather strap with quick release clasps. The screen itself has a dimension of 1.63 in and is made with curved <b> Gorilla\u00ae Glass 3 <\/b> that encases a bright <b>AMOLED <\/b> display with a 320 x 320 pixel resolution. There are also more than 100 different designs for the watch face so the look can be tailored to suit the individual.<\/p>\n<div class=\"omc-video-container\" style=\"margin-top:20px;\"><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"349\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yeoxTrwk-BA\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h2>More than just a Watch<\/h2>\n<p>The Asus Zenwatch has a Qualcomm\u00ae <b> Snapdragon\u2122 400 processor <\/b> with 1.2 GHz CPU as well as 4 GB internal storage and 512 MB of RAM. It pairs easily with any smartphone running Android 4.3. It also has a wide range of apps, including <b>Find My Phone<\/b> to help find paired smartphones and <b>Presentation Control<\/b>, which can be used as a remote control and as a time manager. Additionally it has the Cover to Mute function calls where, unsurprisingly, the wearing can simply cover the watch to mute an incoming call.<\/p>\n<h2>Wellness Manager<\/h2>\n<p>Asus have also jumped on the healthy bandwagon. It includes a \u201cwellness manager\u201d which, when paired with the <b>Asus ZenUI Wellness App<\/b>, monitors a number of health-related statistics such as steps taken, heart rate, calories burned, exercise intensity and relaxation level. It measures heart rate through a small bio-sensor on the bezel at the front of the watch.<\/p>\n<h2>How does it compare<\/h2>\n<p>The Asus Zenwatch has focused more on style than previous smartwatches like the Samsung Gear 2; however it has not compromised substance. It possesses many of the features that early tablets did, but at a fraction of the size, it weighs in at just 75 g. It is as pricey as other smartwatches coming in at \u20ac199 (around \u00a3157) but if only 300 are made and sold in Taiwan then it will never reach a wider market.<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Asus Zenwatch was announced in September in Berlin, Germany and now its launch has been revealed as early November.
