Review of the Phosphor P

It also has glyphs for PM and "alarm on." Functions include time mode, date display, alarm, and hour-circle mode. Seen above, this last one is the most striking, displaying hours as a notch in a ring with minutes below them. Striking, easy to read from across the room, and generally quite functional. As with every other e-ink watch, once a minute the entire display redraws itself in inverse, a dramatic and sometimes distracting display as the whole face redraws in white or black before adding the mode display. People will notice when you wear these! The P-0201 review unit is the version on a rubber strap. It's 24mm, non-tapering, dual-tang-buckle, and very comfortable. On the inside of the strap, the Phosphor name is printed: a decent way to provide grip and texture. On my 7.5" wrist, the curvature of the ceramic chanel is functional, low-profile, and sleek. The case has hooded lugs and straight spring bars which make for an integrated look I quite like. The sides of the case are polished, and the top brushed which is attractive without causing too many specular reflections.As mentioned in the previous Phosphor review, we also received two of their newest curved e-ink models: the P-0302 and P-0201. (The picture to the right is the 0201.) With these chanel online, Phosphor has embraced the capabilities that differentiate e-ink from previous technology, creating curved displays previously impossible. While they differ slightly in function and even more in style, the two are quite similar in many ways, and the choice between them is mostly one of size and style.Specs in common between the two:38mm wide by 8mm thick case.Waterproof to 50m (160ft).Stainless steel case, mineral crystal.Both are available with rubber, leather, or bracelets.User-replaceable CR2032 batteries.Toggle-able white-on-black and black-on-white display in all modes.The P-0201 is described as "Digital Hour Clock Watch," and the P-0302 is listed as "Digital Calendar chanel ceramic." These are pretty accurate in describing their style differences. The 0201 is all about the time, with the numeric or nouveau hour-circle display of the current time.
