Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am basing my review as a comparison to similar smartwatches I have tested: Microsoft Band, Microsoft Band 2, LG Watch R, LG Watch Urbane, Apple Watch, and the Huawei Watch. I have worn this watch for about 1 week before reviewing this product. My initial reaction upon opening the package was that this watch looked somewhat average. At first, I didn't really care for the beveled / squared look. However...as each day passed...I found myself gradually liking the watch appearance :) Pros to this watch: + The screen is excellent for a watch marketed as a low to mid range watch device + The watch is very comfortable and I can barely feel it on my wrist after a week usage + Has a built in speaker (not enabled at this time). However, the built in speaker could be made useful with future android updates. + The built-in WIFI comes in handy if I am not within Bluetooth pairing range with my phone. For instance, if my watch and phone are both connected to wifi...I will still receive notifications / calls on my watch. + The magnetic charging is an improvement over the previous generation Zen 1 charging method + I have had several complements from coworkers stating that it looks like a nice, expensive watch. In fact, some coworkers asked me if it was a new version of the Apple Watch :) + My watch has been paired with a Nexus 5. So far, I haven't had to hard reset due to OS crashes or memory lags. Cons: - I would like to see an improvement on the battery life. The battery life at the highest brightness level gets me about 1.5 full days before having to re-charge. I would like to see a solid 3 to 4 days battery life. One of the best features in using a smartwatch (whether Android or IOS based) is that you can quickly check your watch for updates instead of reaching for your phone to see every little notification. I am person that works in customer support and receive hundreds of emails and text messages a day. I find that using a smartwatch in general is very useful for my position. I will update my review as I continue to use the Asus ZenWatch 2. If you have any questions, feel free to ask anytime.
