Cons
Con Unfinished
The Qualcomm Toq has been considered a great showcase for Mirasol technology but many say it is not consumer ready.
Con Low Quality Watchband
The Toq requires that you physically cut the watch to fit your wrist. Therefore sharing your Toq won't be possible and you better hope you get it right the first time.
Con Price
The Toq costs $249 which is pricey, especially considering that it doesn't run a major OS and the future of the software is doubtful at best.
Con No Microphone, Camera, or Speaker
Like the Pebble Steel, no camera, microphone, or speaker eliminates a lot of possibilities like talking to your smartwatch or videochatting on your watch.
Con Less Features than the Gear 2
The Gear 2 Neo has no camera unlike the Gear 2. It also doesn't have an as high quality build as the Gear 2 with a lighter weight plastic build. Fortunately having no camera does not mean the Neo is a bad smartwatch.
