The simple design of the Zenwatch 2 gives it an elegant look. The slightly curved display and the stainless steel body make for an attractive watch.

Cons
Con Missing sensors
Most smartwatches have a built in heart rate monitor, however the ZenWatch 2 doesn't.
Con Large bezel
The watch screen is fairly small relative to the overall size of the face. The AMOLED display helps the screen blend in with the bezel when using a watch face with a black background.
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.
