There's been plenty of talk about the Apple Watch's battery, which lasts about a day on a full charge. Some consider that a weakness, and it's one that Asus may intend to exploit it before Samsung does. They just announced a new fitness-centric smartwatch for your phone, the VivoWatch - the device is geared more towards fitness applications such as tracking your activities, heart rate, sleep pattern, etc.
The Asus ZenWatch is not the most advanced or glamorous smartwatch, and it's certainly no true Apple Watch rival. The ViVoWatch seems to have a black and white display to save on power with a green LED strip below. The watch has a stainless steel body and an IP67 certification for dust and water resistance.
As you can tell, it’s not exactly running Android Wear, which explains how it manages to last for 10 days on a single charge. There are not much details available at this point and more will be revealed tomorrow at the Milan Design Week.
