 If you've been looking to purchase an Android Wear watch, so far your choices have been some lousy designs by Samsung or LG or Motorola's Moto 360, which is an okay design, but it's not really the best looking thing on your wrist. That's changing with Asus' ZenWatch. It's a $199 Android Wear smartwatch that's easily the most attractive option in Google's camp. The ZenWatch is a metal body and a brown leather strap which puts it ahead of the GearLive and the G Watch that have the same price. The body is a handsome brushed silver, it's got a rose colored band on its side that's really quite attractive. The strap is soft and comfortable leather and it's more durable than the Moto 360's flimsy strap. It has this unique deployant clasp, it looks good and it saves the strap from wearing out too quickly, but the downside is it makes it a bit thicker and can be uncomfortable to wear when you're typing on a computer. Fortunately you can quickly swap the strap for another if brown isn't your style. The ZenWatch's display is a 1.63 inch square AMOLED screen. It's got a 320 by 320 pixels of resolution. Perhaps the only complaint I have with the ZenWatch's design is the large bezel surrounding the screen. Wearing the ZenWatch isn't like wearing other Android Wear smartwatches simply because it blends in and doesn't look like a cheap computer on your wrist. Asus included some attractive watch faces, many of which can be customized with its smartphone app to show weather, battery life, step count, and more. The ZenWatch really isn't great for tracking your steps, its accuracy was all over the map for me. Likewise, its heart rate monitoring, which requires you to hold two fingers to the metal frame as it reads your vitals, was equally inconsistent. I'm able to use the ZenWatch for about a day before the battery needs to be recharged, but I can stretch that a little bit if I disable the convenient ambient display mode. But it's really not great, I couldn't get it to last more than a day and a half in the week or so I've been wearing the device. I also had more trouble getting the ZenWatch to respond to voice commands than the Moto 360, but for the most part the ZenWatch is as fast and responsive as any other Android Wear watch I've tested. If you're looking for something to track your vitals or wear while working out at the gym, the ZenWatch isn't the best Android Wear option, but as a watch that you'd actually wear every day, it's easily the best looking one you can buy. Android Wear still has a ways to go before it's good enough for me to recommend it without reservations, but at least we're finally getting some good looking hardware to use with it. And who would have guessed Asus would make the best looking Android Wear watch you can buy?
