Seiko e-ink watches

[paul]

Does anyone know why Seiko do not appear to be selling (making?) any more e-ink watches? Or whether they plan to do so in future?

The one's they've sold are selling used for more than their original retail price so that indicates that there's a demand. 

Is it too niche?

TBH, I had never heard of e-ink before and had to look it up.

I think the last sentence in the second article says it all. It may have been relevant until the next generation of smart watches came along.

My pebble was e-ink and i liked it.
It was crisp, perfectly visible in sunlight, and it consumes nearly no power at all.
Imho e-ink is a cool technology and i loved it on my Kindle too when I had one.

Welcome to the forum! Shockingly I knew nothing about these before reading this topic.
