Samsung Galaxy Gear reaches 800.000 units sold in two months.
Samsung Electronics said today Tuesday Nov 19th, 2013 ,its Galaxy Gear has become the world's most popular smartwatch with sales reaching 800,000 since its debut two months ago.
Priced at around $300, the Gear works as an accessory to its market leading Galaxy smartphone, with a small OLED screen offering basic functions like photos, hands-free calls and message notifications.
"It's the most sold wearable watch available in the market place...and we plan to expand its availability by expanding mobile devices that work with the Gear," Samsung said in a statement.
The Galaxy Gear was first laucnhed as a Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy Note 10.1 companion assistant.
Samsung is bringing compatibility for its Galaxy Gear to Galaxy S 4 as well as the Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note II through an Android 4.3 update. While those are the big ones, the wearable will soon hook up to a whole swathe of Samsung devices (Galaxy S4 Mini, S4 Active, Mega 5.8, Mega 6.3, and Galaxy S4 Zoom) in an update.

Qualcomm Toq Smartwatch available Dec 2. Compatible with all Androids ICS devices.Video.
Qualcomm® Toq™ will be available on Monday, December 2, 2013. Get the smartwatch that is clearly visible even in direct sunlight and delivers alerts, messages and updates from your Android smartphone to your wrist. Toq starts at $349.99., says Qualcomm.
The Toq:
Sports a low-power Mirasol display, long battery life (several days according to Qualcomm), and the ability to receive notifications right on the wrist, for things like email or calendar. You won’t, however, get to make phone calls from your wrist
Though you will be able to answer or decline calls, and read text messages and reply to them using a list of canned messages, such as “I will call you back”.
The big advantage that Toq has over the Galaxy Gear is the battery life of up to five days, with moderate usage. That’s possible thanks to the Mirasol display, which sips far less power than conventional LCD displays. In addition, the Toq lacks the bells and whistles present on the Gear, most notably a camera. Samsung’s Gear is equipped with a more powerful processor and lets users take phone calls (via the connected smartphone), similarly to a Bluetooth earpiece. These features, however, come at the cost of having to charge the device every night.
The Toq will be compatible with all Android phones running ICS and higher, unlike the Gear.
Press Release:
Qualcomm Announces Availability of Qualcomm Toq Smartwatch.
Smartwatch Technology Set to Transform Wearable Device Category.
Qualcomm Incorporated today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Qualcomm Connected Experiences, Inc., will make its Qualcomm Toq™ (‘talk’) smartwatch available to consumers on Cyber Monday, December 2, 2013. Toq is compatible with Android™ smartphones* and features proprietary Qualcomm MEMS Technologies, Inc.’s Qualcomm Mirasol™ display technology, providing an always-on experience with multiple days of battery life and visibility even in bright sunlight. Toq starts at $349.99 and will be available through toq.qualcomm.com.
“The Toq smartwatch showcases key Qualcomm innovations, such as Mirasol always on low power display, AllJoyn interactions and WiPower LE wireless charging, that will define the emerging wearable category,” said Dr. Paul E. Jacobs, chairman and chief executive officer of Qualcomm. “Like a traditional watch, Toq displays information at a glance with no on/off switch. And paired with a smartphone to receive notifications and content, it allows the watch to seamlessly merge our physical and digital lives. Leveraging these and other industry-leading technologies, we and our partners will enable new product opportunities and consumer experiences.”
As previously announced, this limited edition smartwatch will leverage breakthrough technologies necessary to deliver compelling user experiences on wearable devices. Of note, Toq demonstrates the benefits of significant technologies, such as:
- Mirasol display technology – always on, always visible reflective display technology that utilizes ambient light to enable a crisp and clear viewing experience even in bright sunlight;
- Qualcomm WiPower™ LE technology – enables a hassle-free, true “drop and go” wireless charging experience; and
- Stereo Bluetooth audio experience – first truly wireless stereo headphones that sit outside the ear canal for all day comfort and wearability
Using Bluetooth® wireless technology, Toq allows consumers to accept/reject calls, view text messages and meeting alerts, and selectively receive notifications from their smartphone or AllJoyn-enabled devices directly from their wrist. Qualcomm will continue adding functionality to Toq through software upgrades. Consumers also will be armed with preloaded weather and stock applets from AccuWeather and E*TRADE.
