When we announce a new product or service from the big technology companies, most of the time we do it with a certain amount of joy (from consumers), because we love the competition, for example, the news from Google on I / O. But sometimes not, and here I bring such a case.
Asus launched this week the second version of its smartwatch, The ZenWatch 2. And guess what: he has * a lot * of the Apple Watch. The main concepts of Ma's watch were taken to ZenWatch 2 even to Digital Crown. In addition, the Asus watch comes in two sizes and three different types of cases, although there is no distinction of material (all are stainless steel).
But the promotional video of the product with the bracelets ah, Asus:

It is important to mention that Asus has good product options (notebooks, smartphones) and, therefore, my disappointment with the even bigger company. The first ZenWatch, in my opinion, is not a design disaster, for example, to justify a second version of the “ZenAppleWatch” type.
That kind of thing can do bad marketing for the product and a bad reputation. Take Samsung, for example. It can launch really innovative products, but always have that stigma that it copied some element of Apple, even if that is not true. a brand that stays.
Anyway, we hope that this will not become a routine for Asus and that later on it will present products that are really innovative, exciting competitors.
