The first 37 hours with the Zenwatch 2

20160206_113415

I’ve been the Zenwatch 2 since I got it from the Asus store at 10.47am yesterday and so far its been rather impressive.

I’ve not encountered any of the random disconnections that I’ve been reading about and the battery life is pretty good. I’ve even tweeted about the battery life a couple times today because Í was impressed about how frugal it is.

It’s finally here!

After reading this a couple days ago, I’ve been waiting for the update to come in and it’s here!

Let’s kick off Feb 2016 with a new purchase

After a few false starts and “teasers”, the Asus Zenwatch 2 is now officially available (as of 4 Feb 2016) at Asus stores nationwide.  As you can see from the box below, I picked up the “D Gun Metal with Dark Blue Leather Strap” and so far it has not disappointed. I’ll be providing more updates after I have spent more time with the watch. Technorati Tags: Wearable , Asus , Zenwatch 2 , Android Wear
