Asus First-Gen Smartwatch Reportedly To Be Showcased in Sep 2014

The Nexus 7 will showcase a smart watch powered by Google's Android Wear OS, according to a report by Focus Taiwan. This is not the first time it has been claimed that Asus will venture into wearable gadgets market.

Focus Taiwan is claiming that Asus' CEO Jerry Shen recently addressed investors' conference where he apparently signaled the arrival of a smart watch as early as next month.

"We're dreaming big about the future of wearable devices, but the dream will not come true this year or in the first half of next year because the market demand has not picked up," Jerry Shen, Asus' CEO, said at the investors' conference.

Furthermore, the company could launch a second-generation model of the watch next year. Shen, however, did not give share specific details about the first-generation smart watch.

It is learnt that Asus' first ever smart watch may not be priced on a higher side. The device could be priced as low as Rs. 6,000 in the International market, a new report revealed a few days back. Competition wise, Asus' first-gen smart watch will certainly give competition to the Pebble smart watch in respect of price.
