Or one of those new screens (MIP I think?) that may end up being what eink always wanted to be but with better refresh

Yes, in fact Casio uses MIP displays in some of its recent watches, e.g. this Bluetooth connected watch has a 2 year battery life: https://www.casio.com/intl/watches/gshock/product.GBD-200-1/
Yea exactly. I was about to buy a new Pro Trek but given that I like negative displays I was considering waiting in case they switch to MIP.....although I was looking at the mainly analog models where the little screen matters less.
The GBDH1000 is worth looking into as well, packing not only the MIP display but a suite of sensors as well as being powered by a solar element.
MIP as in memory-in-pixel? Like the Sharp memory displays/LCD used on the Panic Playdate, for example? https://www.adafruit.com/product/4694
