Yeah I was looking at that Wikipedia page too. I was looking at the summary part at the top where it say’s the display is e-paper and specifies the tech is memory lcd.

I might just be confused here, cause I can’t find anything on the difference between memory lcd and memory in pixel lcd.

I also remember when it seemed like the tech had died off completely after pebble went bust. And I didn’t realize there was anything similar that’s still on the market until I started looking at garmin watches last summer.

Idk if the tech is actually the same. But it has all the key characteristics I was looking for: minimal battery impact, reflects sunlight so it’s easy to see in the day, relatively fast refresh rate, and a colour screen (even if the colours are a little washed out).

Most kindles still use them. And the vast majority of Garmin watches use them too. I recently got a Garmin forerunner 255s cause I missed my pebble. It’s got 10 days of battery life, e-ink (technical memory in pixel), and can track my exercise nicely.

Not quite as many smart watch features as I remember my pebble having. But I never used any of those anyways. Basically just want some notifications on my wrist + activity tracking.
