The smartwatch is also expected to offer better user experiences with its colour capacitive touchscreen display, allowing the drop and go charging experience.
Other features include smartphone calls, text messages, meeting reminders and various notifications.
Toq enables the developers to tap into Qualcomm Innovation Center’s AllJoyn framework, sending programme notifications to the smartwatch through the Qualcomm Toq app, which supports the AllJoyn Notification Services Framework.
