I’m sure someone has done an analog 24-hour face in this way, but I haven’t run across it.
Instead of an index for 1-12 and a sub-index for 13-00 I decided to switch the main index.
For some reason I’ve decided I like having the hour hand jump on the hour for some watch faces. In this case, the date window would be covered for an entire hour at 6 and 18. I decided to move the main date window to another location during these hours.
I’m currently working on an alternative solution. The only reason that hands are displayed on top of index, complications, etc, is because it had to be that way in mechanical clocks/watches. But if you put the hands BELOW the other elements, it’s still easy to tell where the hands are pointing but they don’t obscure things. If necessary, a bit of shadow below/around complications can be used to ensure they remain easy to read regardless of what’s under them.
Indeed. I put the day and date window above the hands on one of my previous watches. Like I tell people, it’s not a watch it’s a picture of a watch.
Just decided to do it a different way this time.
I don’t know if you can program actions when you tap on your watch screen in WFS. I can’t do it on Facer because I don’t want to pay for premium features. The usual thing is tap somewhere and the hands vanish long enough to read anything that might have been under them.
I have just enough patience to try reading the date again after 2-3 minutes. An hour is pushing it, although really I just swipe left to bring up the monthly calendar.
If I could get the date window to float around like that I’d be making my own ( orange ) version of that oil filled dive watch.
You could make the date float easily the Gyro sensor data on WFS is as smooth as you like . I will post a test in a minute , Great Idea I did no think of that . What a Lovely Idea.
Note I have put the accelerometer stuff in the x and y position Fields . I hate the canned Gyro Thing .
