New watch face

Never thought to look for your stuff on Facer. Lots of good stuff.

Noticed this one - RUSTY-CRESS - Spieglein Spieglein TEST - watch face for Apple Watch, Samsung Gear S3, Huawei Watch, and more - Facer

I made a backwards clock face to fit on a tablet to hang on the wall. I couldn’t find a battery powered clockwork that didn’t make noise. The physical wall clock I made was fine for the bathroom, but not a guest bedroom.

Yes . That backward face was a very quick response to a test . I just thought you and I had talked on Facerr being the Image / Logo is the same .

Here is a photo of that clock on the wall running in the clockwise direction. Didn’t have any good photos of it as seen in a mirror running backwards.

Cool . Dedicating A Tablet to a Clock Face . Did you do that on WFS ?

The wall clock is just Javascript. Right click and view page source.

Haven’t made a WFS or Facer version. There’s really not much to it.

Impressive i say . If you have done Java stuff you are ready for android studio / WFF stuff. Making your own apps and such .

Well, Javascript is different from Java. I think I’ve written just one useful thing for my old company in Java and it wasn’t much.

I did do a watch face for my Fitbit Versa three in Javascript.

Usually if I want to write something I do it in Python.

I thought I recognised you! I’ve from from Fitbit dev too.

Wow. That would be weird. I only made the one watch face that I recall. Looks the same as the one I made for Watchy.

Google totally trashed the nice system they had for making these. You try to make one the new Google code intensive way?

Did you make that Watchy Face . I was thinking of getting the kids to get me one for Christmas . The other on the Fit Bit . Is that SWATCH . BEAT TIME you are showing . It is called so many different things . Biel Mean Time being one of them .

So the Watchy has an e-ink screen. In general this means a charge lasts a week. Probably the best feature from my limited experience. I was using the suggested Arduino coding tool. I complained about the all code construction Google wants you to use, well this is certainly all code, but it was easy enough to comprehend and set up.

I took an existing sample Watchy face and put in my own bits of code to generate the Swatch type time. It turns out that system is pretty much French Revolutionary time. I decided not to use the Biel meridian, one of the things everyone complains about, and instead use UTC whenever I do this. I also found a different font and used an on-line tool to translate it to the hex code files for fonts the Watchy system uses.

This is what the code of my watch face looks like

I recreated this for my Versa 3. Then created it in Watch Face Studio and on Facer.

This is a picture of my various watches that keep UTC Beat time.

Left to right - Swatch Skin Beat watch, Versa 3, Watchy, a mechanical watch that shows French Revolutionary time ( replicated in WFS and on Facer ), and WFS version on my Galaxy 4

The Watchy here has a metal case I bought as an extra. You can take what they send you and essentially be wearing a bare circuit board on your wrist.

OK . You are well into Decimal time . I did one On facer but I don’t see how @060 is 20:27 . I will have to look up Beat Time again . I missed your Facer one . I will have to go back and look . A few of the other guys mage them . I might make a collection . Thanks for the Watchy code . I knew that it was paper white and hope to have a play in the new year . I have spent a bit of time on Arduino with timing stuff .

2027 is local time. @060 is UTC. On 2024-02-25 UTC would be local time for me plus 5. Number of seconds since UTC 0000 divided by 86.4. So 1 hour 27 minutes, (3600 + 27*60)/86.4

The French Revolution hand is only good to the tens place given the size of the index. If you switch to the dim view it shows the decimal version.

Yeah Of course I got it . I like the way Swatch say the whole Internet is using Biel Mean time . But it is actually using the Unix Epoch Timer UTC . Any way . Well I know our watches are . Thanks again for your Arduino code . Very interesting . I will load that when I have found the LIBS and got my watch .

Here’s my take on it: Fitbit Gallery. That link may not work if you’re in EEA, but this should.

I found this in my Folder . Looks like we did some work on this before . Not remembering well these days .

Yes. I have that. Very nice.

I haven’t gotten around to putting it in correctly but I’ve run just the moon phase dial you sent.

Thanks.

My 10 hour hand works fine, but I can never get the decimal minutes right for some reason.

The 10 hour hand is the easy part, you just put in an index for decimal time and set the hand to go around once in 24 regular hours.

Amazing . Great work .

This is Something I published on Facer . It is not as Literal as @Gondwana 's Work but my interpretation .
