The Qualcomm Toq smartwatch will be available to consumers on Cyber Monday, December 2, 2013. Qualcomm subsidiary, Qualcomm Connected Experiences, had unveiled the Qualcomm Toq (pronounced ‘talk’) smartwatch in September this year. The Toq smartwatch will be priced at $349.99.

With Toq, consumers will be able to manage smartphone calls, text messages, meeting reminders and various notifications from their wrist. Developers will also be able to tap into the Qualcomm framework to send program notifications to the smartwatch.

Toq was in development for two years, and features proprietary Qualcomm MEMS Technologies, Mirasol display, wireless charging by Qualcomm WiPower LE, and Bluetooth audio. Toq has no on/off buttons, its capacitive display consumes so little power that it does not need to be switched off, says Qualcomm.
