Gadget Watch: Asus ZenWatch brings Android Wear to your wrist


My impression was that things had gone quiet on the smart watch front, with the Android Wear announcements and the Apple Watch heraldry, but here comes another.


Asus is one of the more interesting companies in the Gadget space, IMHO, and they have launched the ZenWatch, with its curved glass and stitched leather and all...


The WI500Q, if you prefer a more prosaic model number, gives you the choice of 100 watch face choices and the leather watchband comes in three colours. There's also voice search via 'OK Google'>


Another feature is the camera tie in with your smartphone. Asus writes:


Open up new photographic opportunities by displaying your smartphone's camera viewfinder remotely on ASUS ZenWatch. This is useful for selfie and group photos, letting the photographer compose the photo, release the shutter, and check the final result while being included in the shot.
