    A long time ago, there actually was a smart watch that used a colored e-ink display. The Pebble Time. After Pebble was sold off, I was always amazed that the technology didn’t seem to get iterated on much. It seemed like it had a ton of potential, especially with how smooth the animations were on that watch.

    The reveal that it was really just a normal E-ink display, but with a color-filter, was somehow mindblowing. Reminds me of how CRT screens did the same thing. Tho, it also explains the muted colors, and why they didn't go with a subtractive color scheme (CYMK) even tho they're dealing with physical pigments.
  • E ink watch seems like a great idea! Battery life is way more important than refresh rate when it's just doing wrist watch things.

    This display is much more snappy than others I've seen. Very cool. Thanks for the breakdown.

    If you've ever seen other eInk displays, the refresh rate on this screen is insane!
  • Comes with a little rubber sleeve on cap . “Rubber protection is always a good idea” 😂😂
  • This was a great video!! Al the little jokes and running commentary was priceless and had me snickering and outright laughing at several points... I also enjoyed the casual destruction and the soothing calm voice as you went through it like a wrecking ball... even more so with getting a much closer look and understanding of what they did with the tech. As always, great stuff!
  • Now that's a great improvement to e-ink displays. Love these for books.

    An e-ink smart watch would be genius! I'd definitely use one

    Grocery stores now use this technology (they have been for a few years now) to display product SKUs and prices. When there is a price change the update can be made with a simple device like a smartphone. I think some are even wi-fi enabled so as to allow prices to be changed remotely. I would like the idea of an e-ink display on a transit pass, so that you can see how many tickets are left on the card, or even a credit card, so that you can selectively display information.

    I have a pebble time smartwatch, which if I am not mistaken uses the same technology. The battery life after all these years still beats my android based smartwatch. I always wonder why no other smartwatch companies continued using the tech.
