Excellent battery life. Easy to customize using the Qualcomm Toq Android app. Less clunky looking and feeling than some competitors. You can adjust the band length by cutting it, which makes for a very personalized fit. Plenty of room for improvement thro
Not a wide variety of functions yet available. The Mirasol display is pixelated, and colors are dull. Messaging and notifications aren't very intuitive. I needed help setting up the band and clasp mechanism
Mirasol color e-paper display is always on, and works indoors and out. Works with any Android phone running Ice Cream Sandwich or Jelly Bean. Slick wireless charging with the included dock. Smooth interface. Can configure notifications on a per-app basis.
Bottom Line, Qualcomm's Toq smartwatch proves the long-awaited Mirasol display is worth it, and the watch itself is also fairly capable, but like other smartwatches, it's still too limited for most consumers

We quite like the Qualcomm Toq. It knows what it's doing and does it well. It's not trying to pull out all the stops with over the top functionality or gimmicky features, it's purely an aid to let you quickly check a notification or skip that One Directi...
Mirasol display is useful in any lighting condition, an ideal push-notification receiver, Activity applet introduces interesting fitness functionality, free Toq app is an easy-to-use setup centre, wireless charging accessory is fun and fast
Bulky and ugly design, watchstrap requires trimming (with scissors), no camera, no connectivity apart from smartphone, notification previews only, lack of inputs, few applets, expensive, capacitive buttons are tricky to use
The Qualcomm Toq has way too many cons to be considered a finished product. Primarily it's not very pretty for something that's designed to be worn and therefore seen at all times. It also doesn't have much in the way of hardware, there aren't many...
