Asus launches new Smartwatch with 10 days of Battery at the expense of being less “smart” and “watch”. Undoubtedly, this is the big surprise of the day. Asus has officially unveiled its new few minutes ago smartwatch, the second of the Taiwanese firm presented the ZenWatch since last year. This is the VivoWatch, a device which his name has already leaked a few months ago and it was even thinking it could be the first intelligent watch with Windows.

Finally it has not happened, we find neither Windows nor any other intelligent operating system itself, is that at a time when the battery technology is so limited, those 10 days of autonomy offered by the VivoWatch can not be removed from air. Indeed, Asus has opted for autonomy at the expense of other aspects such as color screen, notifications, applications, multimedia content, the Internet, among others.
Although not yet know all the technical characteristics of this new smartwatch, as this will be officially presented tomorrow at a fashion event in Milan, we can get an idea of what we offer. In aesthetics, the VivoWatch is much more sporty and robust than previous signature watch, as it seems that this model is clearly focus towards fitness and physical activity.
We have a steel body, resistance IP67 dust and water, and interchangeable straps. Of course, it will incorporate various sensors that will monitor our physical activity as a typical heart rate monitor or other more specific to analyze the quality of our sleep. Moreover, as can be seen in the promotional image, you may also incorporate some kind of way to record our training.
The VivoWatch clearly focuses on sport and physical activity while maintaining its sleek look
A curious detail that we see is that, although we are clearly facing a monochrome display, it appears that the VivoWatch can display graphics in certain moments color, perhaps to highlight important aspects of our business or to show more visually determined information. Of course, the main attraction is the 10 days of autonomy that will compete with other models like the Pebble Time.
Tomorrow we will know in depth all the details on this new Asus smartwatch, although at first it seems that their struggle is not with smartwatch as the LG Watch Urbane, Huawei Watch or Apple Watch itself, but with wearables like Garmin VivoActive or Fitbit Surge. What do you think?
