Android News: The ASUS ZenWatch is receiving its Android Wear 5.1.1 update

The ASUS ZenWatch is the latest smartwatch to be updated to Android Wear 5.1.1, in what is likely to be a staggered roll-out. LG’s Watch Urbane was the first to receive the update, and its good to see the update appearing for other members of the Android Wear family.

Reddit user Verdes8891 noticed his ZenWatch updating itself to build 1.1.1.1910765 while he was at work and was quick-witted enough to take the above image.

The update brings several features such as wrist gestures, always-on apps, and the ability to draw emoji’s on the watch display. One notable absentee is WiFi support. This is because, much like the LG G Watch, the ZenWatch doesn’t have the necessary WiFi component. The update should be hitting your ZenWatch soon, in the meantime, you can always get a sense of what Android 5.1.1 will bring by having a look at our walk-through here.
