Asus ZenWatch enjoys a discount via Google Play Store

The already reasonably priced Asus ZenWatch has got a discount on Google Play Store, probably in anticipation of the upcoming launch of its successor. The device is one of the cheaper big brand smartwatches the market has to offer at present and was supposed to arrive in India by March 2015. That hasn’t happened as yet, though its forthcoming ouster should have forced it to do so by now. Maybe Asus doesn’t see enough demand for wearable gadgets on these shores. After all, we’re still progressing from basic handsets to smartphones. Can’t jump a step there, can we?

As for the drop in the rate of the Asus ZenWatch, it has got a sweet $70 off its original tag of $199. So interested parties should be able to grab it for $129. We don’t know if it’s a temporary glitch with the Google Play Store page selling the smartwatch or not, but it went down within minutes after we started writing this post. Maybe Google jumped the gun on the discount?

The specs offered by the ZenWatch are pretty decent for the amount it commands. At the 2015 Google I/O developer conference, the company announced the availability of the Android Wear 5.5.1 update for the gadget. It brings in improvements like an always-on screen, better wrist gestures, the ability to send emoticons and so on. The rest of its features have been listed below for your reading convenience.

Specifications of the Asus ZenWatch at a glance:

– Google Android Wear OS
– 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor

In case you’re wondering how the Asus ZenWatch 2 is different from the exiting model, it will land in two strap sizes of 22mm and 18mm.
