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).

I think the fenix, epix and venu might use normal lcd or oled. But all the forerunners I looked at when getting mine use memory in pixel.

Oh shit, is memory LCD different than memory in pixel lcd? I assumed they were the same

They were talking about pebble watches, which use memory in pixel technology. It seems terms like e-ink and e-paper are often used when a display is actually using MIP (at least for watches).

Oops, then ignore the first sentence about kindles. The rest still applies.

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.
