The ASUS ZenWatch was announced in early September last year, and for many Android Wear fans out there, it was a potential wearable to consider right out of the gate due to its physical design. The ZenWatch boasts a 1.63-inch AMOLED display, with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor clocked at 1.2GHz under the hood. Of course, ASUS did just unveil the ZenWatch 2 at Computex earlier in June, so there are probably some folks out there that might just wait for the upgraded version to land....
