# Display-Changing Wristwatches The E-Paper Watch Allows Wearers to Customize with Different Designs By Alyson Wyers | Published 2014-10-24 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epaper-watch References: [springwise](http://www.springwise.com/e-paper-watch-features-24-designs-push-button/) & [fashion-entertainments](http://fashion-entertainments.com) With this e-paper watch, you have 24 different designs just a press of a button away. Developed by Takt Project for Fashion Entertainments -- a Japanese startup collective -- the FES watch has e-paper surfaces that let you pick a new watch design whenever you choose. The deceivingly standard-looking timepiece has a circular face and a rubber strap. Together, however, the face and band are one display that show the time in addition to a range of styles. There is a button located on the side of the e-paper watch that allows wearers to click through the cycle of different options. For example, you have a choice of black or white face, 12 individual hour markings or a [minimalist look](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimal-watch-concept), snakeskin or brickwork band patterns. There is also a [motion sensor embedded in it](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tetris-watch) to preserve battery by turning the display off until the wearer moves their arm to check the time. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 77% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/watches) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Customizable E-paper Watches:** The development of e-paper watches with customizable designs offers users the ability to switch up their watch style with just a press of a button. - **Motion-sensor Technology in Watches:** The integration of motion sensors in watches presents an opportunity for longer battery life by conserving battery power when the display is not in use. - **Integration of Fashion and Technology:** The collaboration between fashion and technology in the development of e-paper watches showcases the potential for disruptive innovation in the fashion industry. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can benefit from the development of customizable e-paper watches, offering consumers more options for personal expression. - **Consumer Electronics:** The integration of motion-sensor technology in watches presents an opportunity for the consumer electronics industry to enhance battery life in wearable devices. - **Technology:** The intersection of fashion and technology in the development of e-paper watches highlights the potential for innovation in the technology industry to create stylish and functional wearable devices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hybrid Low-Power Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ksana.md) - [Monochromatic AI-Packed Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vetra-orbit-one.md) - [Low-Energy Colorful Electronic Paper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eskin-anycolor.md) - [E-Paper Display Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/core-smartwatches.md) - [Four-Position Smartwatch Straps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elegaband.md) - [Liquid Droplet DIY Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/droplet-watch.md) - [Kinetic Art Wristwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/type-8-daniel-engelberg.md) - [Stress-Reducing Screenless Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nowatch.md) - [Rad Retro-Style Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retrofuture-wrist-tech.md)
