Abstract: I've been keen on smartwatches pretty much since day one. I get a lot of emails, texts, and assorted notifications, most of them garbage but some vitally important. Having a glancable screen on my wrist makes life infinitely easier. But smartwatches have ...
Abstract: You must have already known by now that most of the smartphone makers have started showing interest in the wearable device market. Among the first lot that started making the wearable devices like smartwatch were Samsung and Pebble. However, soon Japanese...
Pros, 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
Cons, Expensive, Bulky, Stiff wrist strap is difficult to fasten and size adjustments are permanent, No camera or video recorder, Doesn't make calls, Can't install additional apps, Finicky capacitive buttons, No iOS support

All in all this was a good watch, just don't expect any bells and whistles. The Toq smartwatch sticks to the basics, but with its quirks and small flaws, I suggest waiting for the price to go down a bit more. It's priced right now at $250 shipped, and tha...
Abstract: We're definitely in the year of the wearables boom. In 2013 we saw the rise of activity trackers. Smartwatches became a bit more mainstream and I think as 2014 continues (we're now in Quarter 2) we'll see more of them. With so many companies starting out...
Abstract: With a stack of smartwatches having sat on the corner of my desk for the last three or four months, it's finally time that we start running through reviews of them all. The stack is only going to grow over the coming year, so it's probably best that we gi...
