The display isn&#8217;t curved, but the Gorilla Glass 3 above it is. The steel colour is complemented by a\u00a0rose-gold-coloured trim around the perimeter of the watch and a genuine leather band with fine stitching. You can also replace the strap with your own 22mm strap.<\/p>\n<p>Internally, the ZenWatch is equipped similarly\u00a0to other Android Wear smartwatches like the LG G Watch and Samsung Gear Live. That includes a 1.2 GHz Snapdragon 400 quad-core CPU, 512MB RAM, 4 GB internal storage, Bluetooth and connectivity options.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/asus-zenwatch-smartwatch-silver-brown-strap-48568\"><img src=\"http:\/\/images.mobilefun.co.uk\/graphics\/productmisc\/48568\/4.jpg\" alt=\"Asus ZenWatch Smartwatch - Black\" \/><\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/asus-zenwatch-smartwatch-silver-brown-strap-48568\"><img src=\"http:\/\/images.mobilefun.co.uk\/graphics\/productmisc\/48568\/3.jpg\" alt=\"Asus ZenWatch Smartwatch - Black\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Where the ZenWatch sets itself apart is in its feature set\u00a0and style.
