E-Ink watch concepts seem to be a favorite for watch designers, but most don't really take full advantage of the super high rez capabilities of their displays. This nifty watch from designer Jonathan Frey changes that, by spelling out the date just the way you might read it in a book, or on its E Ink cousin, the Kindle.

The sWaP Rebel had me doing a double take because I thought it was yet another iPod Nano watch, but it's not. It's actually a cellphone, camera, music player, video player, clock, FM radio, calendar and e-reader rolled into one — worn on your wrist. Did I hear Dick Tracy calling?

A slew of companies might think an iPod Nano watch is sexy, but Manufacture Royale does not. Its accordion-shaped watch is a touch of steampunk mixed with a dosage of style.

The first iPod Nano watch was little more than a band that slipped through the Nano's pocket clip. This new one works much better, with a custom fitted holder that's also designed to protect the Nano from knocks and scratches.
