"Digital" Seiko

Pretty cool technology.

From the article: " At Baselworld 2005, SEIKO unveiled the world's first ‘Electronic Ink’
watch. It offered an entirely new kind of display which was ultra-thin,
high contrast, and which allowed much higher visibility from a much
wider angle (almost 180 degrees).


In addition, it required a very low level of power
while having a virtually unlimited size of display. This “E-Ink” or EPD
(*Electrophoretic Display) watch excited great interest and won a prize
at the “Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève” award ceremony in autumn
2006.


Since then, this technology has become much more widely
understood and appreciated by consumers, thanks to the increasing
popularity of ‘electronic’ books."

Cool stuff Tim ! I don't understand how it all works, but it's
VERY impressive. The display looks pretty big, and evidently there
is alot this watch does besides telling the time. I wonder if we will
see it it in the next James Bond movie ! One things for sure..
I like it ! Thanks !!!

You are very welcome sir ! It's amazing how cool these watches are
when you stop, and think about it. You may have seen different gizmos
on various sci-fi shows years ago. However, this watch actually works,
and it's here now !

Looks like HD compared to just a couple years ago.
