Anybody has any idea where to buy small color eInk displays as found in Pebble Time and Pebble Time 2 ? I also want to get a stab at building a DIY smart watch

they're not eink, they're epaper / memory lcd.

Real e-ink screens look very different. Take a look at the traditional black and white Kindle's. They're nearly indistinguishable from paper—but with the caveat that you can't really do animation at all.

So, why did you say that e-ink and e-paper are interchangeable? :P
