Google has shared official details about Android Wear 1.5 a couple weeks ago, and since it has rolled out to the majority of Android Wear watches. Mainly, this is a maintenance and stability update that focuses on improving system health. Now, like Motorola and Samsung did earlier this month, Asus has released a changelog of specific fixes for the ZenWatch 2.

This update improves the quality of the display, connection stability with the phone, and sleep tracking. It also enables peek cards on the default ASUS watch face. Notifications will continue to always be shown in normal and ambient modes.
The rollout began yesterday with watches getting updated to version MWD59,MWD48B. ASUS notes that users should have a strong internet connection before starting and that the phone and watch should be kept near each other during the update.
