One of the best-looking smartwatches so far ; Slim, premium build ; Battery life among the best for Android Wear

Android Wear still poorly optimised ; Lack of buttons hampers use ; Screen unreadable in bright sunlight

Unfortunately, this very property also makes the display next to useless in bright sunlight. If you crank the brightness up to maximum it’s just about visible, but then this is too bright for most other occasions and it drains battery. Android Wear...

Beautifully crafted ; Well built ; Reasonably priced ; Interchangeable straps

Pixellated screen ; Lackluster fitness features ; Semi-comfortable ; Too much bezel

If you're after a stylish smartwatch that does your basic range of Android Wear things, the ZenWatch is worth a look. Beyond that, there's little difference from the other similarly priced Android Wear watches.

Great design, comfortable strap, good display, some software extras

Charging needs the base, some software duplication, Bluetooth connection issues

Of all the Android Wear devices out there, we think the ZenWatch is the most elegant. It has a design that looks like a watch and using a quality strap makes a difference. Ok, so it might not be a Jaeger-LeCoultre alligator strap, but it looks good,...

The curved glass, metal design, and clear screen make this one of the better looking Android Wear devices to be launched so far, and from what we've seen so far it looks and performs better than the Gear Live or the G Watch.

The Asus ZenWatch isn’t the most impressive smartwatch we’ve ever used, but it’s not the worst either. It’s a very good-looking, stylish smartwatch – something that’s a rarity in the smartwatch industry. The lack of buttons is definitely an issue,...

Sleek curvy design ; Funky features

Stupid dock ; Battery life still 'meh'

Asus’ Zenwatch is one of the best first-gen wearables we’ve rocked on our wrists, offering a premium design that’s miles ahead of most smartwatches. It doesn’t skimp on features either, with everything from remote camera control to heart rate...

Lovely design ; Great price

Middling battery ; Big size ; Minimal software tweaks

The ZenWatch is one of the nicer looking smartwatches around, but otherwise doesn’t do too much to stand out from the rest of the first-gen Android Wear pack.

Asus has crafted one of the finest looking Android Wear smartwatches to date with its ZenWatch, giving an elegant take on the square face with a slightly curved display and a slick brown leather wrist strap (that's 22mm wide and replaceable). It's...

There's not a whole lot to dislike about the Asus ZenWatch, as it's an attractive timepiece that can easily replace your regular watch, and still look good too. The only major complaint is that its battery life leaves us wanting for a tad bit more....

The Asus ZenWatch combines stylish and elegant looks with comfort and a touch of practicality, but it doesn't stand out in too many other categories - it's a standard affair as far as Android Wear is concerned. It's a gorgeous looking smartwatch...

Great design with leather strap, sharp screen, good build quality, water-resistant

Battery life not great, fiddly charging dock

Featuring a decent display, innovative design and wealth of productivity features, the Zenwatch has the potential to be a great business companion.
