At first glance, the Asus ZenWatch may look like all the other square-faced Android devices, but it does get more style points than some of its siblings, besides offering extra functionality. Design-wise, the device lies halfway between a traditional watch and a modern smart wearable, bringing together a handcrafted design with high-tech components.

The device has a sharp and bright display, and pairs up with smartphones via the Android Wear app. Users also have the option of using the product-specific ZenWatch app, which offers a number of extra features.

The Asus Zenwatch is set to be made available for sale in the fourth quarter of 2014. It will ship for around $260 in Europe, with North American pricing details yet to be revealed by the company.
