Q: Android Device Compatibility
A: From my experience the watch will work on any android phone that passes the "wear check". On your phone (not an internet browser) go to http://www.android.com/wear/check/ and it will tell you if your phone will work with this watch.
Q: How far can ZenWatch be away from phone?
A: It is battery powered Bluetooth so somewhere around 10 meters or 33 feet. Anything that interferes with signal will reduce distance.
Q: Can you view photos on the Asus ZenWatch?
A: Yes you can view photos on this ASUS Zenwatch.
Q: Can it be used with an Android Tablet
A: The Android Wear OS in use on the Zen Watch is reliant on your smartphone for data access. Without that access the device cannot process voice commands so it doesn't know what you want it to do. I'm confident you can configure the watch to communicate with any android device that can use the appropriate Buletooth, and run the android wear app, but without data, you have a lame device.
Q: Will this ever be available in stores?
A: I bought it for $145 in Best Buy.
Q: Is this compatible with the HTC One M8?
A: As long as the phone runs 4.3 Jelly Bean (or above) OS and has Bluetooth 4.0, this device will work with it.
Q: Why is bestbuy charging $229.99 when it was anounce for $199.99?
A: Since I was one of the first to get this watch I did pay $229. Next day they lowered the price to $199 and they refunded me the difference.
Q: Texting
A: You can send but it's through voice. There's a small speaker/microphone on the watch that allows you to speak your text.
