ASUS Malaysia is kickstarting the year by launching the Zenfone Zoom this afternoon. If you’re looking for a smartwatch, you might want to wait for what’s coming up next.

The ASUS ZenWatch 2 was spotted recently on SIRIM. In most cases, if a device gets the certification green light, we can expect it to hit the Malaysian market very soon.

Announced middle of last year, the ZenWatch 2 is their 2nd generation smart watch that runs on Android Wear. To suit different wrists, it will come in two display sizes – 1.63″ and 1.45″. The front uses Super AMOLED display pushing a modest 280×280 pixels resolution and it is protected by a 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass 3. It is also water resistant with IP67 rating and the case is made of durable stainless steel.

In terms of design, it looks quite similar to its first ZenWatch but it gets an extra button at the sides that’s designed to look like a crown. The ZenWatch 2 comes in an array of case colours and straps of various materials. For a touch of exclusivity, there’s even a Swarovski edition strap with studded cyrstals.

As it uses Android Wear, you get access of apps, watchfaces and you can customised your own design with the ASUS FaceDesigner app. Charging the ZenWatch 2 is done via a magnetic cable that snaps underneath the watch case. According to ASUS, you can get a 50% charge to its 300mAh battery in just 36 minutes. If you need to charge on a go, there’s an optional chargeback accessory that functions as a powerbank for your watch. The obvious omission is a heart rate sensor which was included in the first version.

Since the ZenWatch 2 is certified along with the Zenfone Zoom, there’s a chance that it could be announced today. Follow us on Twitter and Facebook for the latest updates.
