This premium-quality, cold-forged steel is 82 percent stronger than conventional steel to ensure that ZenWatch 3 can easily withstand the rigors of daily wear. The watch\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s round case has a low-profile design that is just 9.95mm thick and accented by a narrow, rose-gold bezel for a sophisticated look. Three crown buttons adorn the case and provide quick access to frequently used functions, including opening the ZenFit activity tracking app and changing the display modes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">ZenWatch 3 has a 1.39-inch AMOLED display with 400 by 400 resolution and 287ppi pixel density for deep blacks and pin-sharp details that make each watch face look its best. The display is covered with gently curved 2.5D Corning<sup>\u00c2\u00ae<\/sup> Gorilla<sup>\u00c2\u00ae<\/sup> Glass that facilitates smooth swiping gestures and provides tough protection against scratches and damage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">ZenWatch 3 comes with a strap made from a choice of stitched Italian leather or high-quality rubber.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Smart customization<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With its assortment of case finishes, strap materials, and color choices, ASUS ZenWatch 3 provides wearers with a variety of personalization options for creating a truly unique watch. Additionally, ZenWatch 3 comes with more than 50 software watch faces that can be changed using the ZenWatch Manager smartphone app, letting wearers easily customize their watch to fit any style, mood, or occasion. Many of these watch faces support customizable widgets that display useful information, such as current weather, daily step counts, and missed call notifications. For an even more personal ZenWatch 3 experience, wearers can create their own unique watch faces with the FaceDesigner smartphone app.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The top crown button on the watch case can be assigned custom functionality, giving wearers instant access to their favorite or most-used feature.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Flexible, highly accurate activity tracking<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">ASUS ZenWatch 3 is a full-featured activity tracker that helps wearers stay motivated and improve their fitness. The all-new ZenFit app automatically counts wearers&#8217; steps throughout the day with industry-leading 95 percent accuracy, and it also provides reminders to move after periods of inactivity. Additionally, ZenFit tracks a range of activities \u00e2\u20ac\u201d i.e., walking, running, push-ups, sit-ups \u00e2\u20ac\u201d and it works together with the companion smartphone app to provide helpful and easy-to-understand summaries and graphs for a complete picture of physical activity. IP67 water resistance makes ZenWatch 3 impervious to sweat and inclement weather, so it can be worn during the most vigorous workouts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Advanced energy efficiency<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">ASUS ZenWatch 3 is powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 2100 (APQ 8009w) processor that is specially designed for wearable devices. It consumes 25 percent less energy than the Snapdragon 400 processor it replaces, giving ZenWatch 3 dramatically improved battery life of up to two days. ZenWatch 3 also features exclusive HyperCharge technology that provides industry-leading charge times \u00e2\u20ac\u201d just 15 minutes to reach a 60 percent charge \u00e2\u20ac\u201d and a convenient magnetic charging connector that snaps into place automatically.
