The Watchy arrived today, significantly earlier than the ETA range that was provided!
Rather glad with spending a bit more to get it with a metal case, since it makes the watch feel a bit more premium; it might even be anodised aluminium? I know that E-Ink is renowned for crisp text, but I'm still surprised by how readable the tiniest text is on the watchface it came with (Starfield) without squinting. Can't wait to explore it further, try out various firmwares for it, and perhaps even create watchfaces for it!

@w8l Ooh can these be bought pre-assembled? I only seem to be able to find the plastic variant.

This is an incomplete list however, as searching for Watchy in various e-commerce sites will prolly yield multiple results.
