phosphor e-ink watches: kind of like a kindle that you wear on your wrist and doesn’t read books

These modern digital watches don’t use LED or LCD screens. Instead, they use E-Ink screens to tell the time.

Phosphor’s E-Ink watches have a bold modern design, and feature highly readable electrostatic displays.

The Phosphor DH01, DH02 and DH03 all feature a display that combines a dramatic modern numeric display for minutes, along with a simulated analog dial for the current hour. You can also swap the analog dial for a numeric one if you so desire.

The DC01, DC02, and DC03 calendar watches offer a complete monthly calendar on the watch face, with the time displayed above it. Like the other models, the diplays can be inverted from grey-on-black to black-on-grey to suit your fancy.

You can find the full collection of Phosphor E-Ink watches over at Watchismo. All models are priced at $194 (USD), and are available with black leather, polyurethane and stainless steel band options.

    What about backlight? How can I read it at night? I want to customize the display, so that I can see the military time, day-of-week, month and day-of-month all at the same time. I’ll come back later when Phosphor has something ready for prime-time.
