Looking at this http://twistedtime.com/watch-brands/phosphor-watch... and wondered if anyone had one or heard anything about them.

They say that due to the eink they are very thin, but don't particularly look it. Been on Google for reviews but only shows up mags reviewing it not consumers.
Also has anyone used this online shop?

thanks for any help and have a good day.

I own one (Silver on bracelet, I really wanted the black and red leather frown )

I'm not wearing it today but what I can tell you is that it isn't that thin really, In fact your own link confirms it's 12.5mm thick.

The plus point is that due to the fact that e-ink screens can be curved the whole watch does sit nicely on the wrist. The screen is as clear as all the pictures suggest so no photoshopping is required.
Being e-ink the screen doesn't refresh constantly and has no second indicator, every now and again it does this quirky little 'double flash' refresh which is pretty cool.

Thanks for that, are you glad you got it, and would you recommend where you got it from?

I tend to like the quirkier stuff so it's a nice little watch. Doesn't get a huge amount of wrist time if I'm honest but that's no slight on the watch itself. I would recommend the leather strap though as the bracelet is good, but not brilliant. It just feels a little light for my taste, i think watch bracelets should have a little bit of 'heft' to them, more so than this one has.

Can't remember where I got it from, will have to check, but it was an online order for a similar price to your link.
