Sony to introduce watch made from e-paper

Sony is developing a watch made out of electronic paper that it intends to release as early as next year for a trial, as part of its  new venture-style approach to creating products, Bloomberg reported citing people familiar with the matter.

The watch's face and wristband would be made from a patented material that would allow the full surface area to function as a display and change its appearance, according to the people said, who asked not to be named.

The device would make style statement rather than technological sophistication like Apple's watch and Sony's own SmartWatch, they added.

The watch comes from a business creation division that CEO Kazuo Hirai formed this year to fast-track promising products. The watch is one of the first results of the effort.
