Sony has developed a watch made from e-paper as part of an initiative to experiment with the use of the material for fashion products.

The Fes Watch has a minimalist, monochrome design but falls short of the features offered by smartwatches.

However, the battery of the e-paper watch could last far longer with an estimated 60 days of use.

The device has been described as “retro and cool” by gadget expert Stuart Miles from Pocket-lint.

“One of my predictions for next year is that fashion is going to play a huge part in shaping the tech industry.

“Having a phone that’s big and square is one thing, but if we’re actually wearing things, it has to look good.”

The watch face and straps have an e-paper display – comparable to the technology used in e-book readers such as Amazon’s Kindle.

It means the watch can alternate between several different styles of watch face and strap design.
