Pebble: E-Paper Watch
The Pebble: E-Paper Watch for iPhone and Android is a Kickstarter project that was looking for $100,000 but they’ve raised over $6 million from more than 42,000 backers and still have 24 days to go in their campaign.

Pebble is the first watch built for the 21st century. It's infinitely customizable, with beautiful downloadable watchfaces and useful internet-connected apps. Pebble connects to iPhone and Android smartphones using Bluetooth, alerting you with a silent vibration to incoming calls, emails and messages.
The screen is described as "E-Paper", but the watch needs recharging once a week and the FAQ says:

Q. Does it have a backlight? A. Yes, Pebble has a backlight to view the display at night.
E-Ink, and so far as I know any type of E-Paper, must use a frontlight, rather than a backlight. Still, this is the best E-Paper watch so far.
