According to foreign media reports, insiders said that Sony is developing a smart watch made of E-paper material and will release it as soon as next year. Insiders said that this smart watch will be made of a patented material, and allow the entire watch surface to be used as a display screen, and can change the style.

To put it simply, Sony has made a watch made of materials similar to the Kindle reader screen. This watch is the first work of the newly established business innovation department by Sony CEO Ichiro Hirai. The department aims to quickly follow promising products and is committed to developing and launching products and services that are significantly different from Sony's existing business.

In addition, Hirai launched an innovative project called Seed Acceleration Program inside Sony, and Sony employees put forward corresponding ideas to finance for development inside and outside the company. According to the internal documents of foreign media, Sony has received 187 applications, 80 of which have entered the next stage.
