Customer Ratings & Reviews

Let me start off with some assumptions about why I bought this watch: I wanted a watch that coupled with some features that make smartphones convenient, i.e. voice commands to set timers, notifications, read emails, etc. I considered the Pebble Steel as well, but ultimately decided to buy this one due to the touch screen and the visual appeal. Now for the review: This watch out of the box looks very nice. It looks very slick and goes very well with my typical apparel (Polos, button-down shirts, etc). The leather band is very high quality. At first i was not a fan of the golden brown color, but it grew on me, because it looks more formal. I also like how it is a touch screen, like any other android wear watch. I can easily give voice commands to set timers if I am working at home and know I need to leave for somewhere, check on food, laundry, etc. I can also manage my tasks, read texts/email, etc much like I am accustomed to do on a smartphone. The size of watch is slightly large in my opinion, which is something to definitely consider, because while I don't have the biggest wrist circumference, I consider myself to have a larger than average wrist size. The fact that this watch is a touch screen is also a con when it comes to watch face appearance. Most of the watch faces have a very basic appearance when not actively being viewed, which is because the display can burn in. I am a big fan of the "Modern" watch face of the Pebble, which has 12, 3, 6, and 9 listed with ticks for the other hours. Pebble can get away with this, because of its basic black and white screen, so it is largely a trade off between screen quality and overall resting screen display. While active, many of the watch faces look very nice, but this is not the view that is visible most of the time. To prevent display burn in, the ZenWatch shifts the watch face slightly every once in awhile. At first this caught me off guard, but its roughly a 5-10 pixel shift. I only noticed it, because the "silent notifications" bell icon in the top center of my watch face was cut off. The screen returns to its proper center orientation when you look at the watch. I also dislike how the screen automatically brightens and shows more information if it detects certain positions of your wrist. Many times when I am sitting at a table, I notice my screen brighten up, the second hand appear, and the month/day display appear. This was probably because I was always looking at the watch as I sat in meetings and at lunch. Still, I wish there was an option to disable the orientation detection and only show more info if you tap it. The fact that most have the recharge the watch every night is also something to get used to, but I figure most are used to recharging their phones anyway. If this is a bad thing, but still want something to interface with your phone, I have found that muting notifications extends the battery life. I have had my watch on for 24 hours (minus ~6 hours of sleep) and am at 42% battery. If you want a smart watch that can interface with your phone that you don't need to recharge daily of bi-daily, consider a pebble steel, but note that there is a trade off between battery life and screen usability.

I am very pleased with the watch. Battery lasts me all day and then some. I have been using my phone to tell time for years and was tired of always having to pull out my phone. This watch has been the answer. A nice watch with many different options. Now I can tell the time without reaching for phone but as a bonus can check all emails texts and calls without messing with phone. The band is very nice as well. I hate to just say good things about it but I really can't think of anything disappointing considering what it is.

I've bought this watch about a month ago. As each product it has its pluses and minuses. For me pluses are: suitable price, cute look, Asus in constant development of new apps, Android wear with hundreds of apps for a different taste. A small minus: watch is not WIFI capable. Overall, very nice product

I love this watch. Great battery life, I can usually get more than a day out of it. It's very intuitive to use. I receive complements all the time. The only things I would like to see improved is the accuracy of the heart monitor. Although the watch tracks your activity it can't compete with a Fitbit. I don't like that the watch face selection is activated so easily, every time I cross my arms it activates the selection mode because my other arm makes contact with the watch face. Finally while the charging cradle works great it would be nice if it would hold the watch on a stand more like the Motorola charging base. But over all I would still choose this over the other alternatives.

I received my Zenwatch yesterday and the setup was very easy and straight forward. The Asus phone apps work seamlessly with the watch without hiccups (so far). I have to get used to the heart rate monitor. At the beginning it worked every 3 or 4 tries (holding 2 fingers - one on each side of the side bezel). I noticed that if my fingers are a little moist (yes, I licked my fingers......lol) it works right away. I compared the heart rate results with my Note 4, which according to some real test against a professional heart rate monitor showed that the Note 4 is pretty accurate. Zenwatch and Note 4 results are pretty close. One of the features I really like is that I don’t have to unlock my phone if watch and phone are close together. Or the one where I can mute my ringing phone by covering the watch face with my hand. Google Now (Ok Google) also works great. There are many more features and all are pretty useful I found. Time will tell…………. Now to the part I don’t particular like. You put the watch in a (rubbery) charging cradle and connect the USB cable on the side of the cradle. Since the leather band of the watch is like a loop (can’t lay it flat), you have to lay the watch on the side while the USB cable is pointing to the ceiling and then looping down to the outlet (see picture). Not very elegant I must say. They could have built a little stand with a build in USB receptacle so you just connect the cradle to it and attach the watch into the cradle. Oh well, nothing is perfect. But the watch looks great on my wrist………

This is a very nice looking smartwatch. The UI is very smooth and fast. The voice recognition works great. It is an all around great smartwatch at a great price. You can't beat the style and functionality at this price. The only reason not 5 stars is no WiFi.

I got this watch to try out (thinking it may be niche but I will return if I dont like it). Right away I found myself annoyed when I had to get my phone out of my pocket for simple things. The watch seems to have all the features of the Moto 360 and looks and feels good. The only thing I can say is it still feels first generation and sometimes inexplicably disconnects or freezes.

With not many smart watches on the market at the time, this was a great option. You can maybe get a couple of days use before recharging with light use, or a full day when using it regularly. Android Wear OS, no bloatware, decent amount of features. Replaced my Pebble Steel as my every day timepiece. A little outdated now, but keep an eye on the next gen model.

How did I ever live without this. Thing looks great. Battery life is as expected. Only negative is the heart rate monitor location.

... and little more. But that's not a bad thing. This has changed how I deal with notifications during the day and has allowed easier access to Google Now voice features. Android Wear is an immature platform, though, and iterations on the OS could add benefit to the product. Battery life is excellent. I routinely get nearly two full days on a single charge. The biometric tracking is limited and useless on this devices. This is not a device one should purchase to count steps or track heart rate (done actively, not passively). Looks like a watch rather than a hockey puck on your wrist.

Beats Moto360 and LG G watch R in terms of price, and design. Strap is replaceable (any strap can be used) but the stock strap/bangle style is beautiful premium Italian style. Runs Android wear 5.0.1 and can pair with any android device running 4.4.2+

I previously had a Sony Smartwatch 2. The glass broke so I was in the market for a new watch. I had been looking at this Asus Zen watch for a while, I finally decided on it because of the looks and the price. Almost all android watches are the same so why spend hundreds of dollars more for an ugly one.

This is by far the best smartwatch yet. I own several smartwatches including the Moto360. This effort by Asus is the least expensive and I believe the classiest out there. Very elegant for dress, while great for casual wear also. I definate winner!

I was looking for a smartwatch that ran Android wear and had good graphic size and density, and this one ticked those boxes well. It's stylish, holds a charge for about a day (on par with its competition), and is significantly less expensive that competing models from LG. The heart rate monitor function on this watch is clunky to use, and the step counter function seems to have accuracy issues, so if those features are important to you, you might want to look elsewhere (they were not important to me). A smartwatch might not be something everyone needs, but if you are looking for a stylish, economical option, the Asus Zenwatch deserves a good look.

I was looking at smartwatches because I was an avid user of fitness trackers (Fitbit, LG Lifeband) and I wanted something with a little more functionality. I'm not an Apple guy, so I looked at this Asus or the Motorola option. I chose this because of the reviews, the look and there was a sale. The Zenwatch sits well on my wrist and I think it looks great. I love that you can do many function handsfree. You can choose from a number of watch faces or download new ones. There are a decent number of apps that function with this watch, but I wish there were more options. I know this will come with time or the next model. As my first smartwatch, I think it was a good first step. I will probably upgrade in a year when newer android models come out.

For the money spent and what is out there it is the best watch. Simplistic, gets the job done and then some. I've had some technical issues but can be easily fixed by reseting the watch. In the first week I have gotten multiple compliments. For those with big wrists the included wristband might not work well with you which is a bummer because it is a nice band. 4 star rating because it has been a bit more confusing than I expected to operate but been able to figure it out.

I like the looks but it lacks some features found in the samsung gear. Good quality for the price but dont expect cutting edge apps to work flawlessly.

I am absolutely in love with this watch. I never miss a call or text or any reminders any more. Very handy for sending texts, replying to what's app messages and taking notes. I am getting two days with always on display off.

Bought this on a whim as I already own a few other smartwatches. Found it to be my favorite now. Battery and display are just average. It does look similar to the new fanboy favorite Apple watch. So unfortunately I get drawn into quite a few conversations about that item. But still, a nice watch for a good price on sale.

LOVE the watch not the fan of the band it take a few days to get use to it battery life is more than expected LOVE IT
