I'm highly interested in the Asus ZenWatch... I'm a watch guy and don't really mind a big watch, but the Moto360 just looks a bit too thick for my taste. In the end, though, I may just grab an LG G Watch if they come up for $69 pre-owned on CowBoom again (currently $89). The design of the ZenWatch looks quite nice, the best square-screen design I've seen (including the Apple Watch), and I like the profile and slight curve to conform to the wrist.

For those who have Android Wear devices, what is the BT range like? I work from home and have my cellphone connected to an office-phone through bluetooth, so it stays docked on my desk during the work day. If I walk from my office to the kitchen (20' away with a couple of walls in between) will an Android Wear device hold the BT connection and continue to give notifications? If not and the BT range is only 5-10', it would probably relegate the watch to a travel accessory and push me towards the cheaper pre-owned G Watch.
