Too bad I don't wear a watch or I'd buy one.

I was expecting that you will tell about e-paper watch but this post could not clarify.

That looks awful. Cluttered and ugly, to me.

I haven't looked in a while, as I don't wear a watch either, but didn't FitBits or Pebbles use something like a color version of e-ink?

Pebble had a mono not actually eink e-ink. They may have done a poor colour one before Fitbit bought them out and buried the entire operation. Now Google wants Fitbit.
