At the beginning of September of this year, ASUS officially unveiled the ZenWatch, the company’s first attempt at an Android Wear-based smartwatch. Finally, a U.S. launch date has been revealed.

On Friday, November 7, ASUS finally confirmed that the ZenWatch will land in the United States from November 9, but that availability will be limited to one retailer: Best Buy. A launch through Google Play is coming at some point in the future, but no exact dates were provided. As far as pricing goes, it looks like ASUS landed on $199, despite earlier reports that it would retail for something less than that.

As far as specifications go, the ZenWatch boasts a 1.63-inch 320×320 AMOLED screen, with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor under the hood clocked at 1.2Ghz. It also has 4GB of built-in storage, 512MB of RAM and a 9-axis sensor.

Do you plan on picking up the ZenWatch when it launches later in November?
