So what do we know about the upcoming Asus smartwatch?
Based on a post by Wareable, the device will look even more stylish as compared to its predecessor. It will allegedly come in two sizes - one measuring 49 x 41mm with a 22mm strap while the other is a 45 x 37mm model that has an 18mm strap.
However, the report also mentioned that the Zenwatch 2 will come in a variety of frame options, some of which include rose gold, dark grey, rubber, steel, leather, and even one that is covered by Swarovski crystals.
Aside from the smartwatch, the Taiwanese manufacturer has also alluded to in a report that it would launch another Zenfone device. In the report by GSM Arena, the Android-powered handset has already been certified in China through the TENAA, which means it is already ready to go. TENAA is the certification body that regulates telecommunication devices in China.
Now that Asus is already preparing the newest Zenwatch 2, it seems Motorola is poised to launch its newest Moto 360 smartwatch as well. Recent reports claim that it will sport the same circular display, with some minor design changes.
However, the recent rumor going around claims that it would still get the 'flat-tire' design flaw of its predecessor.
We'll see in the coming days how the Asus Zenwatch 2 vs. Motorola Moto 360 2 rivalry will go.
