You need to have an iPhone (5 or later) to pair this smartwatch. It will not work with any other device, and has limited capabilities on its own (and still require the iPhone for the initial setup).
Con Missing sensors
Most smartwatches have a built in heart rate monitor, however the ZenWatch 2 doesn't.
Con Large bezel
The watch screen is fairly small relative to the overall size of the face. The AMOLED display helps the screen blend in with the bezel when using a watch face with a black background.
