6 days ago we commented on the search for alternative markets for E-ink, the person in charge of revolutionize the world of e-readers and that it sells its panels to all kinds of companies that seek this technology to try to bring other types of products to the ordinary user. We have seen the use of these E-ink panels in mobiles and in all kinds of gadgets, to now have the Japanese manufacturer launching a new smartwatch.
Sony announced its first FES Watch U with e-ink panel two years ago. Now is the time for an update and has announced the new smartwatch that is characterized by having both e-ink on the panel as on the strap. In this way, what Sony is trying to do is that the user can fully customize the strap of his smartwatch to wear it as he wants and wishes.
This watch that is paired with your phone to have a watch face that controls certain actions, will also allow you change strap style. The FES U Watch is identified by a steel bezel and will have 12 basic designs available for the smartwatch, but thanks to the companion app, the variety of them will be increased so that the user can find one according to their own style. There will be 24 designs that you can have on this watch for use at all times.
The smartwatch is waterproof by having the IPX5 and IPX7 certified. Sony claims that this watch will be able to be on for three weeks without needing to be charged at any time. The only handicap for this watch is that it is a crowdfunding project that is available only in Japan. The watch starts at an estimated price of $ 438, but can go as high as $ 967. If you pass through Japan, you already have an exclusive watch.
