Seiko Spectrum, first watch with e-ink technology

Seiko Spectrum, first watch with e-ink technology: "

A few more details about that E Ink wristwatch from Seiko Epson are coming in from Japan. The watch will be called the “Seiko Spectrum,” and it’s set to be released on January 27, 2006 in Japan. Save your money for this one — pricing is set at 262,500 yen, or around $2,200 USD. Or just, you know, wait until they get cheaper. At least it’s a step in the right direction; there’s not really much room to argue against the advantages electronic ink provides over conventional displays for these kinds of applications. By the way, if you do want one of these watches, get moving: only 500 will be produced.
