Sony Smartwatch 3 uses a transflective LCD display which is fairly old tech. But one that for a long time had little to no color option. It was rather expensive to make TFT type displays transflective, and other things won out. Like OLED and just brighter LCD's. Sony is the first to bring it back in any significant way for new tech.

I do hope more device manufacturers take a look at this tech again, as it has some very useful applications. If Sony's Smartwatch 3 is any indication, the pricing is finally becoming more affordable to do this type of thing with full color.

I just really don't like the look of the Sony Watch so I'm waiting for something else.
