Asus Zenwatch 2 WI501Q - User Reviews

  • Mine has had the same quick battery drain after the update. However, if I restart the watch after I take it off charge, I will two or three days out of it. If I don't restart after charging, I get about 10 hours.

  • I have the Zenwatch 2 for more than 2 years now, and ever since I have updated to Android Wear 2.0, battery life has shorten to less than 12 hours. I am now thinking of replacing the battery. Has anyone done that and can give an opinion? its not that cheap...

  • Well, it's been able to update to Wear OS, though it is the same Android version 7.1.1 with security patch of June 2017. I think every Android Wear with Android Wear 2.0 OS can install this Wear OS. Nothing new, just a rebrand.

  • Did any one update this watch? Its been taking too long to switch on after update

  • Yes, you can install Gallery apps on the watch, and can view all the image from the phone, can browse and zoom the image on the watch.

  • can you please tell ,can we install gallery apps in this watch

  • can this watch support the digitalzoom to photos

  • Say whatever you like or dislike, this watch has been updated to Android Wear 2.0.

  • Sorry, No such option on Android Wear.

  • So such option on Android Wear.

  • Does it have image zooming option ??

  • There is no GPS on the watch, the watch rely the GPS on the connected phone.

  • Does it support GPS can any one comment on the same.

  • owesome

  • who's gonna read PDF file on their watch?

  • On the 1.63 model, how big is the actual screen, not counting the bezel? Thanks.

  • Is it possible to see photos, pdf etc.!??

  • Yep

  • is possible use it with iPhone 6s ??!!

  • Similar to how the watch connection works on Android phone, you need to install IOS version of Android Wear App to your iPhone, and connect the watch from there. The watch is connected via Bluetooth.

  • but how?

  • My way is to touch the charging contact on the watch using finger before attached to charger's magnetic pin always make successful charging detected.

  • I am aware of iOS8 but will it support iOS10 also?

  • Will it support iOS10? Please help me out with my query soon.

  • I also facing the same issue too. The way to connect to charger is letting the magnet auto attach to the watch in a quickly way. Meaning, if I gently use my hand to attach the connector, many time it just won't charge, or, it need to wait around 20 second for the watch to detect the connector.

  • How to use dis

  • I have it for 2 months now and very happy with it but every few days it refuses to charge and needs reconnecting the charger 6-7 times. Any comments?

  • Hey I want to buy screen protector for this watch. Does zenwatch 1 screen protector can be applied to zenwatch 2.

  • Has been using it for 3 months. Hand down, the most affordable Android Wear on the market that is on par with Huawei Watch, Moto 360 2nd Gen, Sony Smartwatch 3, and LG G Watch R. Yes, it doesn't has heart rate sensor, it doesn't has GPS. But it does has a functioning microphone and speaker. It is screen and shape is square. It has large bezel. However, those thing does not affect it's premium feel and quality. It's bezel does made of metal. Then, it boast AMOLED screen as well. All of it's smart features are just same as Huawei Watch and Moto 360 2nd Gen. Worry on it's handsomeness? It is just as awesome and as handsome as the Huawei Watch. Then, something Huawei Watch can't do with it's round shape screen is.... This Zenwatch 2 square screen actually can handle both round and square watch face. By having a square screen, it is actually having more usable screen estate than the round one. By costing less than half price of the more expensive Android Wear rival, this is truly a no brainer buy, a very good start to switch to smartwatch than wearing a traditional digital watch, quartz watch or mechanical watch. It is not some ripoff or some clone, it is a fully functional Android Wear, with Android OS 6.0.1.

  • Yes, I bought from Flipkart it updated to 6.0.1

  • yes it can

  • Bro i wanna buy it Should i buy it from flipkart and will it update to marshmallow

  • Finally the wait is over Zenwatch 2 WI501Q started receiving the Android Wear update 1.4 Marshmallow from today onwards (8/03/2016) Speaker is activated,and the sound quality of speaker is so loud and clear. Now it is possible to call and talk directly from watch.

  • Bill2_ASUS ha said update might be released by end of February

  • I have zenwatch 2 WI501Q.what time update hear speaker song. pls say

  • Check this site people ­ *Built-in speaker Make and receive phone calls using the watch speaker and hear an alarm or audio message through supported apps. *My Asus ZenWatch-2 lasts 3 days with light usage on the greyscale WatchFaces mode. *Best budget smartwatch. ( Rs. 11999 Only ) *No heart rate and NFC ( not very much required at all) * New android wear 1.4 with android 6 marshmallow update will bring new gestures and speaker support *Overall excellent smartwatch and a must buy smartwatch

  • The first sensibly priced, sensibly built smart watch to appear on the market. Large bezzels and no heart rate monitor really don't matter to me, and this aside what you get is a really well made device with a great screen. I leave the screen off (it's not exactly hard work giving it a quick tap to see it) and I'm getting 5 days! That's Pebble territory. The leather straps are a little stiff to begin with but to me they're perfectly comfortable. They charge in next to no time too. So far I'm over the moon with the purchase, though as usual in rip-off Britain the $150 price tag has magically become a £150 tag. It's time this straight dollar to pound robbery stopped.
