Seiko Watch Corp. will market the world's first wristwatch that uses electronic paper. The company intends to release only 500 units in January worldwide, using the novelty of the product to spark new demand for wristwatches. The new wristwatch is designed like a bracelet, with the thin, bendable e-paper trimmed in stainless steel. A black-and-white pattern of stripes on the watch changes every hour. The watch is 4mm thick, 37mm wide and weighs 134 grams. The e-paper is supplied by the U.S. firm E Ink Corp. Seiko Watch developed the driver integrated-circuit and other components that interface with the e-paper.

In Japan it will carry a suggested retail price of 262,500 yen. ($ 2,200) Via - Nikkei NNI
