This Watch Allows You to Digitally Change Watch Face and Band

Meet the e-ink watch that lets you change the face and band design by pressing a button. The device called the FES Watch uses e-paper on the watches band and face. You have a total of 24 different designs to accessorize with.  This unfortunately doesn't do anything more than tell the time and date, so it can’t officially dawn the title of smartwatch.


This watch is the result of crowd funding, which saw funds raised on the Japanese crowd funding website called Makuake.  Through the website the creators of this product raised $23,000 in September and now have a goal to raise $8,400. They seem to be on track for this goal as they have 98 days left and are already 40% of the way there. Only residence of Japan can assist in the fund-raising. But once a $167 pledge is made the device will be shipped to the kind donor.
