Update: Along with the Moto 360, Sony Smartwatch 3 and Samsung Gear Live, the Asus ZenWatch has received the Android 5.1.1 update that includes Android Wear's new gesture controls and other features. That is, save for Wi-Fi functionality.
(Editor's Note: This update previously noted that the Asus ZenWatch would not get the Android 5.1.1 update. We've been informed that this is not the case and have corrected the error.)

Better yet, Asus will soon launch a brand, spankin' new Asus ZenWatch 2. Along with a killer battery of almost four days, there are a slew of other huge improvements including different sizes, faster charging time and new crown.
No word on a launch has been announced yet but we're hoping soon to check out just how much better the ZenWatch 2 is compared to its predecessor.
Original review below ...
More and more smartwatches are cropping up every month, making it harder for new ones to stand out from the increasingly crowded space.
The Asus ZenWatch was a surprise when it was first announced, considering Asus wasn't a company expected to enter the wearables world.
But it was promising from start. The first teased images of the ZenWatch were enough to intrigue the wariest wearable-fatigued fan (me), because of its surprisingly attractive design.
Once released, the price of $199 (£199, about AU$252) added to the appeal, though it hasn't caused a huge stir in the wearables world, primarily because it lacks a wow factor that would make it memorable. It's also only compatible with smartphones running Android 4.3 and up, which means iPhone users are out of luck.
