The Pebble E-Paper Smart watch...WOW

While is it expensive-ish at $115 + $15 shipping, it looks like the future of watches if not smartphones.

Hmmm. So a bit like Sony's Smartwatch. I like the fact that there is an OpenSDK that allows you to build any app for it.

Looks very promising indeed.

  Similar, but not as promising
  
  Given your link also says
  
  So far, battery life hasn't been stellar, either, with the device getting anywhere from 2 days to 6 hours on a full charge.
  
  And the Sony is Android only whereas the other covers IOS and Android, which would mean with the OpenSDK, more potential apps.
  
  Now if 10 people could join together this smart watch can be had for $100, ie 10 for 1000 (not sure if the shipping is $15 for all 10, but might be worth checking.
  
  Maybe even an Ozbargain "version" for the tragic among us.

Wow like it, very innovative

Also, like how it uses "minimalistic text" sorta look for the time

Yeah I saw it earlier. Looks interesting but at that price I would rather get a fully featured watch imo.

Apparently the Sony watch claimed to have a long battery life but it was much lower in reality. Hope that's not the case in this one.
