ASUS ZenWatch 2 to go on sale in Malaysia for less than RM900

The smartwatch market in Malaysia just got a lot more interesting as ASUS have finally revealed the pricing for their much anticipated ZenWatch 2.

ASUS’s ZenWatch sequel will come in two variants, the “Sparrow” variant that is designed “For Him” and a “Wren” variant that is  designed “For Her”. The only thing that separates these two versions is the fact that they have different sized screens with the Sparrow coming in at 1.63″ while the Wren will have a smaller 1.45-inch screen.

Both devices will have the same 320×320 AMOLED Touch Display for interfacing and viewing on the watch. On the inside, the Android Wear watches will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor clocked at 1.2GHz paired with 512MB of RAM and 4GB of internal eMMC Flash Storage.

Over the top of the display sits a curved 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass 3 “cover lens” to protect from bumps and scratches, while the device itself is water resistant with an IP67 rating. Besides that, the smartwatch will have support for Bluetooth 4.1 and WiFi. There is also a built-in microphone for voice and touch commands and a 400 mAh battery.

The ZenWatch 2 will be available in two sizes and three stainless-steel case colours — silver, gunmetal and rose gold — with 18 different strap materials and colour combinations. Prices for the ZenWatch 2 are as follows:

ZenWatch 2 with Rubber strap – RM649
ZenWatch 2 with Leather Strap – RM699
ZenWatch 2 with Metal-gun strap -RM899
