ASUS ZenWatch on sale today for AUD$289

ASUS today announced the Australian availability of its first wearable device, the ZenWatch. The ZenWatch is available now through Google, and will be available in April through Bing Lee and ASUS' online store. It retails for AUD$289.

On a technical level, the ZenWatch doesn't quite distinguish itself from the plethora of Android Wear smartwatches currently announced or available. Its 1.63-inch display has the same 320×320 pixel resolution we've become accustomed too, 512MB of RAM and the typical 4GB of storage. The device is IP55 dust and water resistant. However, ASUS has made use of premium materials such as a stainless steel body and a leather strap in terms of aesthetics.
