ASUS announced ZenWatch 3, a stylish and customizable wearable device powered by Android Wear™. ZenWatch 3 will be exclusively available on Flipkart.
This precision watch serves as a smart assistant for Android™ and iOS devices[1], providing wearers with timely information at a glance and letting them get things done with a simple touch or voice command. ZenWatch 3 is also a full-featured and extremely accurate activity tracker that helps wearers keep their lives in balance and achieve fitness goals.
ZenWatch 3 follows in the tradition of fine watchmaking with its luxurious, detail-focused design and construction from premium materials. Its round case — available for the first time on an ASUS wearable device — is crafted from 316L stainless steel and pairs perfectly with a choice of luxurious straps to provide sophisticated looks and all-day comfort.
ZenWatch 3 has advanced power management features, so it spends more time on wearers' wrists and less time on the charger. It is powered by the fast, yet energy-efficient Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ Wear 2100 processor and comes with HyperCharge technology that delivers incredibly quick recharge times.
Commenting on the launch, Peter Chang, Region Head – South Asia & Country Manager for ASUS India said, “The launch of ZenWatch 3 is the perfect culmination of a successful year for ASUS in India. Consumers are increasingly adopting wearables to help simplify their lives and boost productivity. The powerful ZenWatch 3 combines luxury and functionality to provide users with a device that allows them to manage their lives comfortably. We are sure that the combination of specs and design in this smartwatch will be appreciated by our users.”
Commenting on this, Ajay Veer Yadav - VP, Mobiles, Flipkart said, “The launch of the new ASUS Zenwatch 3 will further strengthen the premium segment of the wearable category on Flipkart. With an impressive quarter-on-quarter growth of 100% in this category, we are continuously expanding our portfolio with new and innovative products meant for the fitness conscious and tech savvy customers. We are excited to be the exclusive partner for ASUS wearables and are certain that the Zenwatch 3 will be positively received by consumers. We look forward to continuing this partnership and focus on driving our efforts to provide our customers with a fulfilling shopping experience”.
Timeless design
ASUS ZenWatch 3 is meticulously fashioned from jewelry-grade 316L stainless steel, available in two gorgeous finishes: Gunmetal and Silver. This premium-quality, cold-forged steel is 82 percent stronger than conventional steel to ensure that ZenWatch 3 can easily withstand the rigors of daily wear. The watch’s round case has a low-profile design that is just 9.95mm thick and accented by a narrow, rose-gold bezel for a sophisticated look. Three crown buttons adorn the case and provide quick access to frequently used functions, including opening the ZenFit activity tracking app and changing the display modes.
ZenWatch 3 has a 1.39-inch AMOLED display with 400 by 400 resolution and 287ppi pixel density for deep blacks and pin-sharp details that make each watch face look its best. The display is covered with gently curved 2.5D Corning® Gorilla® Glass that facilitates smooth swiping gestures and provides tough protection against scratches and damage.
ZenWatch 3 comes with a strap made from a choice of stitched Italian leather or high-quality rubber.
Smart customization
With its assortment of case finishes, strap materials, and color choices, ASUS ZenWatch 3 provides wearers with a variety of personalization options for creating a truly unique watch. Additionally, ZenWatch 3 comes with more than 50 software watch faces that can be changed using the ZenWatch Manager smartphone app, letting wearers easily customize their watch to fit any style, mood, or occasion. Many of these watch faces support customizable widgets that display useful information, such as current weather, daily step counts, and missed call notifications. For an even more personal ZenWatch 3 experience, wearers can create their own unique watch faces with the FaceDesigner smartphone app.
The top crown button on the watch case can be assigned custom functionality, giving wearers instant access to their favorite or most-used feature.
