The Zenwatch 2 (2 weeks and a bit later)

I am pleased to say that my first experience with Android Wear has been a positive one (although there were some minor annoyances earlier on).

I’ve had the watch for slightly over 2 weeks now, and I think that there is very little that has to be improved at the current price point (For the benefit of our readers, the Zenwatch 2 with a leather strap retails for MYR 699 or approximately USD 166 from the local Asus store). The only improvement that could probably be made would be a slightly more comfortable strap.

I would like to take this opportunity to point out that whilst there are many vendors selling screen protectors for the watch, it is not required. I have dropped my watch a couple times and I will assure you that it has come out with no scratches on the screen thus far, however the same cannot be said for the bezel on the side.

I will revisit this post regularly to see if my thoughts on the above change. Till then, I would highly recommend this as your entry point into Android Wear.

Such a waste really, it has a wonderfully sexy chassis, nice internals, excellent keyboard and a very good price! I enquired if there was an option to upgrade the screen to a better panel and was informed that there was no such option. Poo! The Lenovo Legion Y520 fared much better and by swapping out the bundled solitary 4GB Samsung DDR 4 2400 for a 8GB Kingston HyperX 2400 would push the price of the laptop to RM 5,039.40 (after rebates i.e. approximately USD 1,142.73). Everything was going oh so well until the sales representative came back and said there was an error with the inventory system and they didn’t have any units in stock. Doub...
