Os smartwatches (smart watches, in free translation) are curious little devices. They generate questions such as “are they useful?”, “does the battery last?”, “does they look like a watch or a toy?” and, of course, “are they expensive?”. Therefore, many people are in doubt whether it is worth putting a gadgets those on the wrist. ZenWatch 3 4g315j
But, if in the first generations companies didn't know much about what would work in the category, developing square models or with a very tacky high tech, the latest generation of smartwatches seems to have gotten the message that the beauty of technology is in how it fits into your personal style. And that's the play of the ASUS like New ZenWatch 3.
A ASUS has been one of the most persistent promoters of the A provided that the special system for w from Google was released. The first ZenWatch it was a solid addition to the initial wave of smartwatches; O ZenWatch 2 had some appeal due to the extremely competitive price; already the ZenWatch 3 represents a radical change. This is a completely round watch – no cuts around the circumference – and it makes more tweaks to the interface of the A than any watch I've worn before.

Design 145g70
Abandoning previous attempts to place square watches, this time ASUS and almost all other brands started to present models with a screen and circular edges. The design, in 316L stainless steel, here it is presented in a very natural and traditional way, still maintaining a very luxurious appearance. The inspiration comes from old watches but with a precise finish through diamond cut.
The biggest highlight that differentiates it from competitors are the 3 reconfigurable buttons that speed up access to functions according to the 's preference. This was a great innovation, once exclusive to ASUS, but soon copied by several competitors.

Features 57391j

In it you will find a 6-axis gravitational gyroscope and accelerometer, which makes it possible to control it through gestures made with the wrist. O azus zenwatch 3 has standard resistance IP67 against water and dust, so a bath in the pool will be no problem. Here, we really miss a heart rate sensor.

ZenFit 3i1d1j
Although classic, the watch has some Fit features to meet the needs of s who want to keep an eye on their performance related to physical activities.

The watch itself is capable of detecting and classifying some activities, such as walking, running or performing abdominal exercises (yes it shows how many repetitions you have just done).
Google Fit 67206
Google's Fitness and Health Tracking Platform is a more robust option. It s many more activities and monitoring categories, as well as syncing with multiple apps. Here, I highlight the automatic detection and classification of exercises, where the watch sensors guess which device or exercise you are currently practicing and the number of repetitions performed.
Sleep Monitoring 6i2j5f
Another basic function of this category is sleep quality monitoring, done through its motion sensors. With it, it is possible to know the time spent sleeping and the classification of the types of sleep achieved. Other apps such as sleep as a droid, are compatible with the ZenWatch 3.

Conclusion 60664y
O Asus ZenWatch 3 you get several points for the presentation and quality physical constitution, with resistant glass and screen with high brightness. It is far superior to generic models, but it still loses to its main competitors (which are even more expensive). the app ZenFit is a bit limited, having only the basic functions. At least it's compatible with the app from Google, or Google Fit, which gives access to some more functions and compatibility with some applications. For sportsmen, the heart rate sensor is missing. Still, it's a good entry-level device.
