Looking for a unique gift for one of those people who have “everything?” These watches from Phosphor bring the same E INK technology used on the Kindle eReader to your wrist. These digital watches feature a unique curved ergonomic design, and changeable watch dials only possible with E INK display.
The E INK displays feature several benefits, including:
- Ultra High Contrast: The display is made up of pure black and pure white particles, which allow the same contrast as found on a printed page; more than twice the contrast, of a conventional LCD panel. It can be easily read in either bright sunlight or in dimly lit environments.
- Low Power Consumption: Since the display is readable under very low light conditions, no backlighting is required. The display also has an inherently stable ‘memory effect’ that requires no power to maintain an image. For these reasons, battery life can be extended.
- Wide Viewing Angle: With a viewing cone of 180 degrees, the electrophoretic technology overcomes the disadvantages of conventional displays when it comes to off-axis viewing. Together with its high contrast, it allows the user to read the time at a glance from any angle.
- Curved Display: One of only display technologies in the market today with plastic substrates allows curved ergonomic watch design unlike any other.
Starting at $175, they’re not cheap –Â in price or build — but if you are a watch enthusiast, you can own one of the only curved digital watches on the market today that use E INK displays.
