Affordable is an accurate description, we already know how much it costs in US, Aus and EU, in all regions it is at least half the price of the Apple watch and is at the lower end of smartwatch cost...

I think "affordable" is justified as whatever it sells for it will be considerably less than the £300+ for Huawei/Apple watches

Hopefully it will be affordable, but as I recall Asus jacked up the price of the original watch for its European release. I think they just did the usual trick of deleting the dollar sign and adding a poind sign.
