Asus Zenwatch 2 can be pre ordered at Amazon Germany for around £125.
Seems a lot of watch for the money. Classic look and can be has in two sizes if big bulky watches aren't your thing it's worth a look.
Probably be around £150 when released here.

I think the Moto G strapped to anyone's wrist will be just a little big! :smirk:

From memory any 22mm strap will fit, the pins are quick release so stay in the strap you take off, most straps come with spring-loaded pins so just swap them out

Mine arrived today, nice looking watch, strap is so stiff, already changed it out

Hiya, where did you get the straps from? Are the connector pins (if that's the right term - the pins that connect the strap to the watch) transferable?
Thanks in advance.

Mine finally turned up after a few missed Amazon visits.
Very nice looking watch but not sure on Android Wear yet.
It's early days obviously but I'm missing the simplicity of my Pebble Steel.

True, but between a rectangular watch and a flat tyre I'd take the puncture any day.

I have the zen mark 1 and love it. ...heart rate sensors are novelty imo. ...would love WiFi .....upgrade time?

I was on holiday in the US a few weeks ago and picked up a Zenwatch 2 (the larger 1501) for pretty much this money. Battery lasts well into the night with screen, WiFi and gestures all on. Not had any reliability issues. Looks are OK. Downsides are, battery won't last 2 days (unless I switch the above off) and the charging cable is a pain. You have to balance the watch on its own strap 'just so' with the cable poking out the side. It's too easy to knock the charger loose.
My wife has had the 360 for nearly a year. It's more stylish, round screens are nicer (even if they are flat), brightness sensitivity is useful and it too lasts all day (although it's pretty much dead at 2am) and the charger is excellent.
I'll wait until Wear 1.4 appears on the watch to see if it activates the Zen 2's speaker. If it doesn't, I should have got a cheap 360.

has anyone had any experience of returning something to amazon.de ? I am stuck with a broke gadget from amazon.es so it turned out a false economy in that case.

All depends on what you want. The Moto G is lovely, just a bit too big for me.
Moto G also has a heart rate sensor so if you want one of those then again it's Moto G.
The overall experience will be similar as android wear is the same.
So looks is main thing and that's such a personal thing

Thanks.

Purely on looks alone, the moto 360.

don't use either on my LG GWR, heart monitor always says around 75 if I'm sitting or running, and I'm rarely somewhere with WiFi without my phone in my pocket... for me, reliable Bluetooth connection, screen clarity and loads of watch faces to play with are my top 3 requirements

Yeah it's lost the heart rate sensor but gained wifi.
Depends what you want it for really.

It looses some of the features of the 1st one and has bloatware on it, so its a step backwards from the original.

As an Asus fan that's pretty much their way. You great great spec and a quality build for about £100 under the odds - via a few of the flashy but ultimately entirely pointless features missed off.
