| I'm going ahead when there is general availability. I would not have liked it if I would have missed this design bump while waiting for the older model to still arrive. |

| it looks superb. I love the small bezels and E ink display. |

| ▲ | aidenn0 17 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | That helps explain all of the mentions of a "backlight" in the video. | |

| ▲ | zevon 15 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | If you have not seen a transreflective color LCD in person, my suggestion would be to search for reviews of the old Pebbles to get a feel for it (or just get one, they can be had for very cheap sometimes). It's very different that the LCD in a phone - and much more readable in sunlight, for example. | |
| ▲ | yjftsjthsd-h 18 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | It's kind of a mix. You can update quickly without burning battery on changes, but it needs power to keep displaying things. On the other hand I'm not sure that's a bug on a watch; I don't want it to display the last time before its battery died indefinitely. And it does work in direct sunlight which is great | | |
