Seiko Electronic Ink Watch at BaselWorld 2007 In December 2005 Seiko showed the Spectrum e-ink watch concept the first time. Today at the BaselWorld 2007 they introduce a new electronic ink display watch. This time the design is for women. Seiko designed a bracelet style watch using the high contrast e-ink technology. If the futuristic watch is set to its 'efficiency' mode, the display is informative and easy to read. If, however, the watch is set to its 'mystery' mode, the panel expresses the time in a more imaginative, evocative style. The ink display is encased under a 360-degree continuous sapphire crystal. Measurements of the new ink watch are Diameter: outside 75.3mm, Inside 61.5mm, Width 22.0mm, Thickness: 6.9mm and the weight is 80g. Seiko use the electronic ink technology from E Ink Corporation. The new E-ink watch sells later this year for about $2,000. At the Seiko booth I briefly talked to a Seiko representative about the bracelet style watch and took some real world photos the exhibited high tech watch. See the photos on this gallery I am not a big fan of the bracelet form-factor. But then, I am not a woman. This new Seiko Spectrum looks more like high-tech jewelry than a watch. The original spectrum is more edgy I think as it looks thinner. I asked Seiko if they are going to actually sell the new E-Ink watch. They plan to ship it later this year for about $2,000. The original Seiko Spectrum has the same price. The ink display is encased under a 360-degree continuous sapphire crystal. Measurements of the new ink watch are Diameter: outside 75.3mm, Inside 61.5mm, Width 22.0mm, Thickness: 6.9mm and the weight is 80g. Seiko use the electronic ink technology from E Ink Corporation.
You are definatly right about that. But cool doesn't always guarantee success. Do you think this will be the next hype in watch world?
MmmM I can't really embrace it yet. Seiko has always been along the lines of a typical classic watch and this is totally different. But, then again it is innovative lol
yeah, thers alot of those useless gadgets but then theres always ppl who'd go get them just to say, i got one b4 u did =D i would consider... if i was rich rich lolz
this shit is superhot, i would pay roughly 450 dollars for a nicely designed e-ink watch/bracelet... but any more then that and i dont think it would be worth it.
