Shen Zhenlai that Asustek's new smart watch looks better than other competitors ' androidwear products and, more importantly, its price will be more attractive. According to previous news, Asus is conducting a variety of surveys, including its rivals, in the hope of creating a wearable device with a shiny feature, not at least a AMOLED screen.

However, although Asus ' CEO is confident that his androidwear products are superior to other products, he does not think wearable devices will become a mainstream product. "We have a big dream about the future of wearable equipment, but this year or the first half of the year, it's not going to come true right away, because the market demand for such products has not yet warmed up," Shen Zhenlai said. This also means that over the next 9 months, no matter how good the first generation of smart watches of the major manufacturers are, they will not be able to meet the revenue, and the second generation of products would be a more decisive market share. According to the latest data from research firm Canalys, the number of smart watch shipments will reach 8 million this year, up to 23 million in 2015 and 2017 years, or even 45 million. So far, Samsung is still the largest market share in the smart watch industry.
