Phosphor Watches

We first saw E Ink on a watch a few years ago with the Seiko Spectrum now the Phosphor watches uses an E Ink display with many more options and at a much lower price point. The Phosphor watch has two buttons that let you select up to 14 different display options that include going from a black dial to a white one as well as choosing various analog and digital ways of displaying the time. The Phosphor website has a demo that lets you cycle through the options. The watch is available with either a leather or a black polyure thane band and sells for $250.

If you've got to have one of the ultra-modern Seiko "Spectrum" e-ink watches get ready to make your move. The watches won't be sold on websites or in stores. Instead, you've got to fight the throngs on eBay. There are only 500 of the watches and they will be sold from March 19-25 on eBay with proceeds going to benefit the Help A London Child Charity. The official price was listed as around $2,000 last year but once it hits eBay all bets are off. The watch is thin and flexible, bending around the wrist and adjustable through touch buttons.

Seiko Spectrum Watch

Not sure how we missed this since Engadget covered it at the start of the month but Seiko has announced a new watch with an electrophoretic display (EPD) that will be available in March 2006. The watch is known as the Spectrum and will have a high contrast display similar to a printed page and will not need a backlight. The watch is being developed by E Ink and Seiko and will cost around $2,200 for the first watches. Only 500 of this limited edition will be made. Cool technology, but like a lot of Seiko products, not so much in the looks department.
