The original Phosphor E-Ink watches apparently weren’t sophisticated enough for some people. Apparently color-changing, e-ink displays just felt a little too Kindle-y in their iPad-ian worlds. Phosphor has a new round of E-Ink watches called the World Time Slim that allows you to feel like you’re in two places at once. Dual-time zone displays make sure you know exactly what time you have to skip a dance so you can check in with the wife – or when you have to post that trade. With more display modes and functions than the Kindle, Phosphor could very well make E-Ink popular. At only 9.3mm thick it’s really tiny…we think. We don’t do the whole Metric thing so we’ll just assume that’s really tiny. If changing from black to white faster than Michael Jackson isn’t flashy enough, it also comes with: leather band, steel bracelet, and a black or white polyurethane band.
