ASUS announces the ASUS ZenWatch 2 at Computex with more sizes and a new button

Right on the heels of Google I/O, as usual, is Computex, Asia’s version of Mobile World Congress, and ASUS has kicked off in typical style with the announcement of several heavy hitting devices. Chief among these is a new Android Wear smartwatch, the ASUS ZenWatch 2, the follow up its original ZenWatch and was introduced with a number of things that make it seem quite a lot like another recently released smartwatch (read: the Apple Watch).

The similarities begin with the ZenWatch 2 being offered in two different size variants, with 22mm and 18mm watch band versions – no doubt this is probably to cater for the female audience who generally have the smaller wrists. Overally, the ZenWatch 2 doesn’t look too dissimilar to its predecessor – the curved glass over the display returns, but is now joined by a button on the side, which kind of makes sense for a watch but almost looks ungainly on the sleek ZenWatch 2 profile.

In terms of colour choice, you’ll be able to select from either a silver, gunmetal or rose-gold body as well as a number of different straps made from rubber, leather, metal or even a crystal encrusted watch band. That’s all the details we have right now, but no doubt more information will become available as Computex wears on.
