Asustek kicks Apple to death
While Apple users have to charge their watches before they get home from work, the Asustek Zenwatch 2 is boasting a four day battery life.
The Taiwanese electronics maker has been showing off a prototype of what will be the follow-up to its $199 ZenWatch. It did not mention specs, pricing and availability, saying the device hasn't been finalised yet.
It is a better looking version of the Apple iWatch but has a metal crown and is designed to be a fashion accessory and has a 49mm version for men and a slightly smaller version for women,
There will be three stainless steel case colours with 18 different strap and colour combinations. The swipeable touch display is made from scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass 3 and the entire device is water-resistant.
Powered by Android Wear, the ZenWatch 2 will have a magnetic cable charger that locks into the back of the case, much like an Apple MagSafe power connector.
The watch, which already far outlasted the iWatch will have roughly double the battery life of its predecessor, and a charge will power the device for three to four days.
There is also an optional battery which attaches to the back of the case, fitting between the watch's underside and the user's wrist. This add-on could give the watch another half-day of juice.
The remote camera function of the first-generation watch, which shows the camera view from a paired smartphone, now works faster and can switch from the phone's front and rear cameras. It can also zoom in and out.
We are expecting the new watch out in the third quarter.
