ASUS smartwatch will be called the ZenWatch as depicted in recent video

ASUS has pushed out a number of teasers for their upcoming smartwatch that will be unveiled officially September 3rd at IFA in Berlin. The new addition from ASUS will be their first Android Wear powered watch, and hopefully not the last. As usual, ASUS has released a series of teaser videos to build up the hype. The suspension is nearly killing me. The latest video offers up a sneak peek of the watch, along with its name, the ZenWatch,

In the video it appears to show little bits of a brushed aluminum with rounded corners. It certainly looks thin and the glass looks pretty. Details on the internal components used and battery life are non-existent at this point. We can only hope that ASUS is looking to bring a competitor in the Android Wear department. The Moto360 is undoubtedly the unreleased king and I don’t think ASUS will be able to compete with it if this one comes in near the same price tag. I’m not sure I have high hopes for the ZenWatch though, simply because the Zen branding from ASUS on the device front has typically been low-cost midrange series of devices. That could work for ASUS if the ZenWatch can pull great battery life and a lower price tag than Samsung and LG have done so far. We will have to wait and see.

 

What do you think of the teaser?
