E-ink word clock watch

This is a research page for my project to make a watch with an e-ink screen displaying word clock.

Requirements

  • Refresh e-ink screen (ie. update word clock) every ~ 3 minutes
  • Be able to set the time or sync it via WiFi/Radio?
  • Capable or running for > one month

Interfaces

  • SPI
  • Serial for debugging / flashing?

Parts

  • e-eink screen datasheet Requiring 3.3 V, SPI and has refresh power req. of 26.4 mW with standby power of < 0.0 17 mW (0.0264/3.3 = 8mA)
  • Coin cell (3V ~ 225 mAh / lithium battery small enough? (if powerful enough) 3.7 V 180 mAh 502025 Lithium Polymeer Li-Po should fit under the display, but might be too big.

Hardware

  • Display size (e-ink) 31.8mm × 37.32mm × 1.05mm

Prototyping

Use a e-ink breakout board with the preferred $MCU to display a simple "hello world" text every three minutes and measure the power usage.
