Qualcomm's Toq smartwatch will go on sale for US$349.99 starting Dec. 2, marking the company's first step into the wearable market.
The smartwatch has a color screen and offers "multiple days" of battery life, Qualcomm said. The company has equipped the smartwatch with features such as a low-power screen in an effort to differentiate it from Samsung's Galaxy Gear smartwatch, which also runs on Android.
Qualcomm did not immediately respond to a request for comment on whether it would ship worldwide. But the company will also sell a premium version of the watch with a Bluetooth headset, potentially at a higher price.
Qualcomm has said the smartwatch will offer around two days -- or 25 hours -- of battery life. Toq weighs 90 grams, and has a 1.55-inch diagonal color display, which shows images at a resolution of 288 x 192 pixels. The smartwatch will be able to work with a range of Android smartphones to show incoming messages and calls, weather information and also to play music over Bluetooth.
