Yeah, this is why I went with the Pebble over the others - it gets the realtime notifications and the fancy sleep tracker and pedometer - and due to eink, can keep its screen on without the need to be charged every night.

That's all I wanted it for, that's all it does. And most importantly - it's priced like that's all it does.

Pebbles haven't used e-ink since the first version.

But they seem to get equal or better battery life out of the Transflective LCDs currently used, which operate on a similar principle as e-ink, in the sense of how the light reaches your eyes:

Interesting, I seem to remember them calling it color epaper in some marketing material so I just assumed it was a similar product to eink. Cool though.
