MiP aka Memory in Pixel is a great alternative to eink as well, well epaper, since to buy eink you'll be paying £££. MiP supports animations/fast screen changes as well, but consumes a small amount of idle power vs epaper/eink none. For a badge I think this is acceptable, but it's also so, so hard to find displays as I think only Sharp makes them. Looked into it a lot after owning a Pebble Time Round. I hate Apple for making consumers want a bright oled screen on a watch as the only option; sure, I charge my phone overnight & watch while I shower (bc I want the sleep tracking) but if I'm out and about/on holiday and my phone dies, I'd appreciate my watch still functioning as a fucking watch past the end of the day. Plus smart watches look so much nicer when the screen is on all the time. To get my galaxy watch to last into the next day I run with the screen off, only wake on button press.
