zenwatch-2

ASUS gave us an early sneak peak at its next generation ZenWatch a couple of months back, and today at IFA in Berlin, the company officially announced pricing and availability details. ASUS has stated that the ZenWatch 2 will be available in two sizes from October, with pricing in Europe starting at roughly €149 (approx $170) for the large 49mm model while the smaller, 42mm model will seemingly cost more at €169 (around $190). Screen sizes are 1.6-inches and 1.45-inches respectively and they'll be available to buy from October.

Although different in size, both 49mm and 43mm watches will feature the same resolution 320x320 AMOLED display with a pixel density of 277ppi. What's more, they both ship with Bluetooth 4.1, Wi-Fi support, a Snapdragon 400 processor, 512MB RAM and 4GB storage. It also ships with a redesigned magnetic charger in the packaging and could last up to two days on a single charge.

You get a choice of three metallic colors: rose gold, gunmetal gray or silver, and the cases are compatible with standard watch straps, meaning you'll be able to attach standard 22mm watch straps to the large and 18mm watch straps to the small model. We don't know US-specific pricing yet, but will update once it's available to buy in the States.
