Asus ZenWatch 3 software
As usual, the Android Wear software is essentially identical to that found on any smartwatch: gesture controls are the same, and manufacturer tweaks are minimal. In fact, considering that this was the first Android Wear smartwatch to appear at IFA, this is cause for a little reflection.
It's been exactly a year since we saw watches such as the Huawei Watch and the Moto 360 (2015) first appear. These, along with all others, were ultimately eclipsed by another smartwatch, one that, unlike them, ran its own operating system: the Samsung Gear S2. The conclusion was that Android Wear was still maturing, and it would be a while before we saw its true potential fulfilled.
What has changed since then? Very little.
It is true that updates to Android Wear have helped to make it a more functional system and less of a prototype than it was a few years ago, but being able to draw emoji or activate cinema mode is not enough for Android Wear to lead the way in the wearables industry.
Asus does include a couple of interesting features, especially ZenFit, which, in Asus’ own words, is the most accurate fitness monitor available on a smartwatch, with as high as a 95 percent accuracy rate. ZenWatch Manager also allows users to further customize the clock, with more than 50 watchfaces available, and FaceDesigner even allows you to create your own watchface.
