an update to the Zen watch by a sous brings a somewhat different design a smaller companion and still the same type of functionality that made us like this and watch from before this is Joshua Vergara from Android authority what's going on everybody and this is a look at the Zen watch - the Zen watch - is heading to a number of markets in October and comes in two different configurations a larger 49 millimeter variant that's a little bit more akin to the one that we had last year with a 1.6 inch display or a 45 millimeter variants with a 1.4 5-inch display now the former of these will cost you $190 roughly with the smaller version set at 170 dollars now everything underneath is still pretty much the same as before bringing the same type of performance you would expect from Android wear which doesn't require way too much with a Snapdragon 400 processor half a gig of ram 4 gigabytes of storage and water resistance at ip67 certification now these then watch - does boast over two days of battery life especially when considering the ambient operating mode charging the Zen watch - will also supposedly be easier than before thanks to a magnetic connector that will supposedly get the watch to 50% power in just over 30 minutes now we can focus on the design of the Zen watch - which takes on a much different look especially when you consider the smaller device of the - that is more suited to people with a smaller wrist or just don't want really large faces on their wrists when I notice the most about the Zen watch - is the fact that it does have a somewhat thicker body now this is something that I wasn't exactly too happy about personally because the sleek body of these N watch 1 did contour to the ridge of the wrist and now that's something that I really thought made it look really nice especially with the strap that it had it was just as if the Zen watch 1 was catered to really fit a myriad of different wrist sizes now of course as is the trend at Aoife this year you have to create a smaller version to accommodate the rest of the people out there who may not want the larger bodies on their wrists and that's perfectly fine but it just seems to me that the girth has returned on this end watch - one compared to the much sleeker Zen watch a myriad of different straps and finishes are available in this one as well as they are in the other smartwatches here at Eva also including gold colors black color silver colors and leather straps metal straps with deployment clasps or the kind of strap that you were used to from the originals and watch one for a little bit more spec however the larger variant is going to use 22 millimeter straps and it's pretty easy to change the straps on there through the lugs on the top and bottom and the smaller version of the Zen watch to will use 18 millimeter straps so the Zen watch - certainly does bring a new version with a smaller companion that will be able to please even more people out there who enjoyed how a soos took on Android wear and speaking of which it does come with a companion app that does provide quite a bit of customization including even a watch face creator in which you can create a watch face that will then cater to your particular likings and the app itself will allow you to have a Seuss's apps on top of Android wear some of which were available in this demo but primarily I was happy to see that fitness tracking is given a little bit more of a focus in these applications we see on the Zen watch - not that these features are really all that new from the previous Zen watch or even any other Android wear devices but then again what you might be paying for here is luxury available at a very affordable price and that's what we did truly love about the original Zen watch and hope to see more of in the second iteration keep you tuned to Andra thority for even more including all of the different smartwatches because we are your source for all things Eva
