Asus is bringing their own set of new devices to IFA 2014 in Berlin, including their entry into the Android Wear smartwatch market.

The ZenWatch is an Android Wear-powered device that features an AMOLED display with Corning Gorilla Glass 3. It comes with a heart rate monitor in front of the case that would need you to press your finger against the screen to measure your heart rate. Since it works with Asus Wellness app, it can also measure other fitness markers. It has a more traditional look with its stitched leather strap. Other features include Asus Remote Camera, presentation control, as well as the ability to auto-unlock your phone with the ZenWatch.

The new MeMO Pad 7 brings a pretty good set of specs in the thin and lightweight 7-inch tablet. It runs on Intel Atom Z3560 quad-core processor and features Asus’ Pixel Master technology to improve image quality. It also packs in a 5-megapixel rear camera and 2-megapixel front camera and promises up to 11 hours of online surfing and video playback.

Asus is also bringing its slimmest ZenBook to date with the UX305. The 13-inch QHD+ Ultrabook comes in at a mere 12.3mm thin and has that signature all-aluminum look we’ve come to expect from ZenBook devices. It runs on Intel Core M processor, up to 256GB solid-state drive, Windows 8.1 Pro, and Intel HD Graphics 5300.
