If you want a nice-looking Android Wear smartwatch for around $199 (£199, about AU$252 ), the ZenWatch is another very solid option. There's nothing here that could be described as a killer selling point, and it doesn't quite stand up to the Sony Smartwatch 3 in terms of battery life or general ruggedness. Regardless, this timepiece is certainly in the top tier of rectangular Android Wear watches on the design front.

You’ll buy the ZenWatch for its looks, and you won’t be disappointed. It also manages to match what other Android Wear watches can do - it doesn't quite deliver on the extras it promises but they are just that, extras. The Sony SmartWatch 3 might be too sporty but it remains the most practical choice with its higher waterproof rating, two day battery life and GPS. Still, at £200 the ZenWatch ’s good value - this is the best looking smartwatch you can buy right now. And if notifications and apps are enough and you don’t mind charging the Asus daily, the ZenWatch is as chic as Android Wear gets.

If there’s one word I’d use to describe the ZenWatch, it’d be “imperfect.” The design is beautiful, but imperfect, because the band isn’t as comfortable as it should be. The software is good, but imperfect, due to the short fall of Asus’s bundled software and unreliable heart rate monitoring.
