Asus' ZenWatch 2 is easily one of this year's best value Android Wear smartwatches. With prices starting at just $149, it's about half the price of the other Android wearables launched in 2015. Now, it's available to order from the Google Store.
As is customary these days with new smartwatches, there are two sizes of ZenWatch 2. The 45mm and 49mm versions sport slightly different specs, with the smaller model featuring a 280 x 280 resolution screen, 300mAh battery and support for standard 18mm watch bands. The larger watch supports 22mm bands, has a 400mAh battery and a 320 x 320 display. Both have 4GB storage, 512MB RAM and the same Qualcomm processor, IP67 water resistance, Bluetooth 4.1 and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g.
If you order the 49mm model from Google, the predicted shipment timeframe is 1-2 business days, while the 45mm model just says 'coming soon'. If you want to save a little cash, NewEgg is offering pre-orders for the ZenWatch 2 for $129 and $149 for the rubber and leather-strapped models respectively.
If the ZenWatch 2 isn't your style at all, and you're on a tight budget, there are a bunch of last year's Android Wear watches available at similar prices.
