Quite, but a transflective one (from Sharp, I believe) which gave it a lot of the benefits of daylight readability while being much much easier to program for and work with.

At the cost of looking very dull and washed out.
With the benefit of a much improved battery life compared to a lot of other smart-watches. A worthy trade off, IMHO. And it its a lot less washed out than current colour (real) e-ink displays
Why do you need an exciting and vibrant display for your watch? Are you looking at movies?
I don’t _need_ a watch at all. I want one, and ideally I want it to look nice.
