Star Wars fans looking to adorn their favorite sci-fi characters on their wrists can enjoy these Smart Canvas watches that feature the likes of Darth Vader, C-3P0, [R2-D2](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audio-technica-r2-d2) and the like cleverly incorporated into the design with E-ink screens. The watches are limited edition as the aesthetic celebrates the upcoming release of the latest Star Wars movie, The Force Awakens.

With the [Star Wars franchise](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ray-ban-star-wars) receiving a modern update, these intergalactic Smart Canvas watches couldn't have cup at a better time. The watches feature a camo style band made out of material opting for a comfortable wear. The face is square and digital with a retro depiction of the characters in a grey, black and white monochromatic scheme.

The timepieces feature four different styles honoring several of the cult favorite characters.
