The Phorphor E-Ink watch from Art Technology has been reviewed by E-Ink-Info.com. As the name suggests the Phosphor Watch features an e-Ink display, which is black and white instead of gray and white and looks great under all light conditions.
Apparently, on the top half of the watch face, it has a digital dial that shows the 12 hours and the non-connected part on the dial tells you the hour it’s currently showing. And at the bottom is where the minutes show. The watch can show time in 12-hour mode only and it has no military time.
It uses pretty basic way to tell time, which you get both analog/digital combined or digital-only modes. And it shows date and also has alarm function. All these different modes can be switched by pressing two buttons only. The watch also has a button to flip between black on white and white on black.
According to E-Ink Info, the watch feels light-weight but it isn’t that thin although the display is super thin that is under 400 micron thick and made entirely out of plastic.
The E-Ink display of this watch presents unique look to others but it has two annoying shorts. Which are slow refresh rate on the E-Ink display, causing switching between modes to take about 3 seconds and the 7-segment display for the minutes still shows “line residues” after a letter changed.
