Good luck to them, but it's still 5mm too thick.
- I see that cunt hans has already made much the same comment.detritus
- Lots of watches are 1cm thick or moremonospaced
- Sure, but they're all clunky slabs of crap, or overwrought baubles for people with more money than taste.detritus
- 8remembers the clusterfuck of twatdom that was the QBN watches thread a few years back*detritus
- A Rolex is a clunky slab of crap? Tons of high-end timepieces are this thick.monospaced

- That color e-ink display is incredibly impressive. I didn't know that was possible. I think this is way better than a fancy led that the others use.monospaced
- Kindle gave me the impression that color and animation were impossible for e-ink. I wouldn't be surprised to see huge improvements and adoption in this.monospaced
- and perfectly readable under a bright sunBen99
- Exactly, a HUGE thing if you have a "smart watch" in my opinion. I love my Kindle for that reason.monospaced
- looks cheap tho.Al_dizzle

So I got excited that the e-ink was animated and color, but I must have misheard. e-paper is apparently a general term for low-power displays these days and not exactly the e-ink that is in Kindle.
The Pebble uses an LCD that is low-power and probably why it kills the competition in battery life. I found this that I think is information on the display. http://www.sharpmemorylcd.com/re…
I still believe that the display tech is going to be a huge area in wearable tech, especially watches right now. Being able to use a tech that isn't a huge battery drain is going to be a big deal, and here's where I feel Pebble is in the lead. It's old-school looking, but it's new. I still feel that this area of low-power displays will be developed big time until it is higher res and so on.
- I'd love to have a colored kindle with e-ink. Either way, the pebble team and ceo looks very impressive.pinkfloyd
- I'd also like to see improved e-ink technology.monospaced
