Android Wear 2.0’s release has been delayed multiple times, and aside from a few watches that have just hit the market, there aren’t many affordable ways to get Google’s latest wearable OS right now. The good news is, a new option arrives in about two weeks via ZTE, which is making its first-ever Android Wear watch. It’s called the Quartz, and it will be available on April 21 via T-Mobile for just $200. You can also get it online starting April 14th.
For that price, you’ll get a round 1.4-inch AMOLED display, interchangeable 22mm band, water-resistant (rated IP67) body and, most importantly, Android Wear 2.0 and all its improvements. There is also a 500mAh battery, which is larger than the LG Watch Sport’s 430mAh cell.
All that really means is the company already has some experience making watches, and the partnership with Google here makes for a compelling product.
