# The world's thinnest watch, the CST-01


> **Note:** Update 03/24/2015: I (finally) got mine after a couple of years. In fact, I completely forgot about it. The watch is crap. I threw it away before ever wearing it out of the house.


There's a Kickstarter project that Andrew Plumb (@clothbot) backed and caught my attention.  It is a wrist-band watched based on an e-ink display.  The battery cell looks like it can provide about a month worth of charge.  A very unique looking watch and for an (apparently) limited time, there is a $100 reward level.  As Andrew said, it might be worth it to just take the watch apart!
