Its a 4.9" display with 180 ppi, 16 level grey scale e-paper display. The response at work place for resolution is that it looks a lot cool than they thought e paper would be. It is also always on, unlike existing smartwatches where you have to press/shake to read time/stats.
other specs: Battery is 4 times more powerful than existing smartwatches like pebble, galaxy gear, as we have a 400mAh flexible battery in wristband itself. Also it lasts long due to low power display.
some more improvements: thickness: 6mm, compared to 9-10mm of existing ones.
waterproof, bluetooth low energy, Memory. 4GB Internal memory + 512MB (RAM) 800MHz Processor, 9 dof sensor
would be a great start if you pre-order.
I'm halfway there. A few more questions:
It's a long strip. 4.9", that's the diagonal? Also it looks like it's not a pure rectangle, am I right? The face part has a rounded section where it's a bit wider. But ignoring that it's, what, about 4.8" x 1"? Just wondering the actual dimensions and LxW pixel rez. 180 ppi 4-bit greyscale sounds perfectly attractive for a wristwatch application.
How deep is it waterproof?
It's flexible and not glass, but the cover is glossy. Is it flexible clear PVA or something? What testing has occurred to determine the impact of lifetime flexing and the impact on, say, the water resistance in particular?
Again, it's really attractive. One of the only smartwatches I've seen and liked so far.
"One of the only smartwatches I've seen and liked so far"
yeah true, I have set out to do that. I didnt like any smartwatch coming into market and I knew my design skills can beat it. lets see the climax.
the waterproof depth is not known but it will be good, not just splash proof-but for swimming and beaches. The idea is to finish the whole component setup with a glossy plastic coat that gives shine and waterproof protection. It has not been tested yet, but got design approval from guys in factories that its cheap and possible to achieve.
the screen dimensions are 3cm X 12 cm (4.9"diagonal), the wrist band length in total is 22 cm (3 sizes will be made, 20, 22, 24cm).
the bulge in middle is only rim design that is not fixed. It can be straight like a band when you change the casing below. chose this shape to show a meet the classic watch design.
imagine the band like a straight strip of screen and case can be customized with materials, shapes, colors.
