Otherwise, the ZenWatch 2 follows the same error sinning design than its predecessor, frameworks unusually large.
Although that’s not all, because this new model has a distinctive feature, this is a small button-shaped crown on its right side. At first it was believed that this button could be rotated in like Apple Watch Digital Crown style, but finally has ended up being a conventional physical button that serves to turn on and off the screen.
But let us focus on the most important aspect of this ZenWatch 2: the customization. First, the watch is available in two different sizes: 49mm (22mm strap) or 45mm (18mm strap). We must add a box available in silver, pink gold or bronze, and a range of very broad belts between which we can choose different materials such as stainless steel, silicone or leather available in different colors. In total, we have 18 possible combinations for our ZenWatch 2.
