Sony has developed a watch made
from e-paper as part pf an initiative to experiment with the use of material
for fashion products.
The first watch has a minimalist,
monochrome design but falls short of the features offered by smart watches.
However,
the battery of the e-paper watch could last far longer with an estimated 60
days of use.
The
device has been described as "retro and cool" by gadget expert Stuart
Miles from Pocket-lint.
"One
of my predictions for next year is that fashion is going to play a huge part in
shaping the tech industry.
"Having
a phone that's big and square is one thing, but if we're actually wearing
things, it has to look good."
The
watch face and straps have an e-paper display - comparable to the technology
used in e-book readers such as Amazon's Kindle.
It
means the watch can alternate between several different styles of watch face
and strap design.
