Excellent smartwatch, but not perfect.
This is my first smartwatch purchase and after much information gathering, I purchased it. The one I'm reviewing is with brown leather band, 1.65" display, and gunmetal in color.
First the good..... 1. The screen is a crisp and detailed with great color saturation. 2. The band locks securely. 3. The charging is very fast, 30 min. For half a charge. 4. It stays charged for a long time (even with brightness set to 4 out of 5 I got nearly two days of use after setting the battery) set the battery by doing full discharge and recharges. 5. Tons of watch faces available through google wear and through asus app. 6. It seams smaller on the wrist then it does off of it. 7. The look of the watch is attractive with its slightly curved screen . 8. The price is fantastic compared to similar smartwatches. 9. The band's are easy to change out and it takes a common size. 22mm I believe.
Now the bad.
1. Android software can have glitches but this is from the OS. 2. The leather band on the one I purchased from a retailer needed to stretch a lot to be comfortable because of the poor quality of the leather. 3. The bezel is quite large, I would rather have had a larger screen with no bezel, even if it was a bit thicker. 4. It doesn't have gps, a heart rate monitor, Sim card, camera, ect. Though it reflects that in the price. 5. Charging cable is far two short and the 2 feet won't be big enough for most people.
I will update this as I wear it for more weeks to come. In all, a great purchase and I'm satiafied. You get a lot more for your money thend with other similar watches I've seen. In my opinion it is currently the best option for the money available as of today. I hope you found this review helpful.
