What is not e-ink? GP said that Garmin is AMOLED and according to [0] pebbles are e-ink/e-paper. Can you clarify?

Otherwise I agree. I would love an opensource fitness watch though, but I understand why this is not (yet?) possible.

e-ink is not a synonym of e-paper. Reflective LCDs are a type of e-paper.

To clarify, e-ink is e-paper, but e-paper is not necessarily e-ink (there are other technologies).
