Asus are hoping to attract more attention for their wearable with a cheeky infographic explaining why you should buy the Asus ZenWatch over the Apple Watch.
At MWC I got my hands on a few Android Wear devices, but it was the ZenWatch I came away most impressed with. The design was thinner and more elegant (in my opinion) than say the Huawei watch, plus with a lower price it is surely going to be a lot more accessible for most of us.
Asus are hoping to capitalise on their lower price point and attract possible Apple Watch buyers too. The above infograhic basically trys to tell us only the wealthy or crazy should purchase the Apple wearable over the Asus rival.
Gizchina News of the week
The image is basically nothing more than an attempt at viral marketing, and leaves out the real plus points of any Android Wear device over an Apple Wearable, compatibility with 1000’s of Android phones and tablets being the major draw for most of us.
The ZenWatch might be up for review if we can secure one in the coming weeks so keep posted for more information.

quiet an intelligent marketing strategy by asus…ive been waiting to buy one since its inception…
Good job Asus I like it!
This is beyond stupid because the ZenWatch isn’t even compatible with iPhones. If you’re buying a Apple Watch it’s because you have an iPhone if you’re buying a ZenWatch It’s because you have an Android phone. How is buying a ZenWatch “logical” when it can’t even work with the only product the Apple Watch is designed for (since they’re suggesting the ZenWatch as an alternative). This whole thing makes no f’ing sense.
This only goes to show ASUS has no f’ing idea who their target market is. Had they targeted the Moto 360 or G Watch the whole thing would have made sense.
so don’t even buy two apples.. keep calm and buy android..
I really appreciate your view…but its all about grabbing attention and asus is successful at that
Good point
