Cst Watch
Overview
Product sourcing insights & recommendations
The phrase "CST Watch" primarily refers to the CST-01, a 2013 Kickstarter project that aimed to create the "world's thinnest watch" at 0.8mm using E-Ink technology. Despite significant early hype and over $1 million in funding, the project ended in a high-profile failure by 2015 due to a 50% production defect rate and unsustainable costs.
In modern B2B sourcing, "CST" is more commonly used as a technical abbreviation for CSTN (Color Super-Twist Nematic) display technology, a legacy screen type now found in low-cost digital watches and industrial modules. The market report below provides a full breakdown of the brand's history, the reasons for its failure, and how to navigate "CST" specifications in today's sourcing environment.

The patent-pending CST-01 is assembled by laminating thin, flexible components into a 0.5mm pocket etched into a single piece of flexible stainless steel, making it different than traditional digital watches which typically use the same form factor of an analog watch. “The CST-01 is the most minimal expression of a timepiece,” added Jerry O’Leary, also a co-founder of Central Standard Timing. “It’s ‘time’ embedded in a band.” · “E Ink’s ePaper displays enable designers to create products without the constraints of traditional displays.” said Sriram Peruvemba, chief marketing officer for E Ink Holdings.

In a world where technology often leans towards bulkiness, the CST-01 watch emerges as a breath of fresh air. At just 0.8 millimeters thick, this remarkable timepiece from Central Standard Timing is not only the thinnest watch in existence but also a testament to innovative design and engineering prowess. Initially unveiled at CES 2013, the CST-01 quickly garnered attention on Kickstarter, where it captivated backers with its unique combination of style and functionality. Priced at $129 during pre-sale—around 800 yuan—it offered an accessible entry point into high-tech luxury without compromising quality or performance. What sets this watch apart isn’t merely its thickness or battery life; it’s about how seamlessly it integrates into daily life. Crafted with an E-Ink display that boasts clarity and elegance, the CST-01 redefines what we expect from wearable tech. Imagine wearing something so light it feels like you're donning nothing at all—this watch's flexible materials allow for unparalleled comfort while maintaining durability through its stainless steel band. The magic doesn’t stop at its sleek appearance; it's powered by a micro-energy battery that can last up to 15 years on just ten minutes of charging. As we look toward future innovations in personal technology, the CST-01 stands out as more than just another gadget; it's an emblem of thoughtful design meeting cutting-edge science.

CST-01 Is An E-Ink Watch In A Steel Band
www.coolthings.com
The CST-01’s time-telling mechanism and e-ink display are built into the steel band so there’s no extra bulk or weight from a case as you’d have with more traditional wrist watches. It weighs just 12 grams which, according to the product page, is lighter than 5 pennies put together. Since it’s e-ink, the watch doesn’t require a lot of power to run. The micro energy cell it draws power from, in fact, can be recharged in just 10 minutes, with each full charge lasting a month before needing a replenish. ... They still have a short way to go before a final production prototype, so they anticipate some change in materials may happen (specifically for the front mask), along with some updates to the firmware. The existing product looks complete enough, though, that it was pretty impressive when they showed it off at this year’s CES floor. You can reserve yourself one of the first batch of watches (September ship date) from their Kickstarter page, with pledges starting at $129.

The CST-01 clamps around the wrist of its latest customer. / Eric Franklin/CNET · The CST-01: The world's thinnest watch makes its debut The CST-01 was created thanks to a partnership between E Ink and Central Standard Timing. The device is currently on Kickstarter. LAS VEGAS–The fight to build the thinnest watch has finally been won, folks. At least for now. Central Standard Timing has partnered with E Ink to create the CST-01; purportedly the world’s thinnest watch. At 0.80mm the watch is thinner than a credit card. I briefly got a chance to hold the extremely light watch and it is indeed the thinnest I’ve ever seen. According to Central Standard Timing, the patent-pending CST-01 is assembled by laminating thin, flexible components into a 0.5mm pocket etched into a single piece of flexible stainless steel.

"The World's Thinnest Watch" is a bold claim to make — but at just 0.8mm thick, we're inclined to believe it. The CST-01 Watch ($130) achieves this by packing its guts — a battery, E Ink display, and controller chip — into a 0.5mm pocket etched into the single-piece stainless steel band. That doesn't leave much room for controls, of course, which is why they're mounted on the recharging base — although with a 10 minute charge time and month-long battery life, you're not going to be visiting the base very often.
