We don't know any details at this stage as to whether this will mean different sizes or styling but it's a smart move. Earlier this year we learned that the Asus ZenWatch 2 will boast a seven day battery life. Talking to reporters in Taiwan, the company's chairman Jonney Shih said, "The ZenWatch is defined by us as a companion of a smartphone, and we think it still has a lot of room for improvement.
"As a companion device, its central processing unit and operating system should be more simplified than the current version, so that I can use it for up to seven days on one charge, rather than for just two days."
The Asus ZenWatch 2 looks like going head-to-head with the Samsung Gear S, with Shen stating, back in December, that a standalone smartwatch would arrive in Q3 2015 alongside two other new Asus wearables. It's believed that the ZenWatch 2 will offer independent voice-calling and communication features much like the Gear S, which has its own SIM-card slot.
The Asus VivoWatch has since been revealed but it looks as if the 2015 date for the next ZenWatch may have slipped. The original ZenWatch is available now and is a lovely looking device with a unique and attractive design. Its launch was a bit of a mess with a series of misinformation being released by Asus, so we're hoping for a smoother outing for the sequel.
