Base Time

A minimalist, elegant, typography-focused Garmin Connect IQ watch face that displays the current time using base-n system notation, n=2..16. The base of the currently used number system is displayed as a subscript, using a smaller, colored font. The convention is to use the corresponding numeral in the next higher (n+1) number system. For example: * The octal (base 8) system is indicated with the digit 8 from the nonal (base 9) system; note that there is no digit 8 in the octal system. (Conveniently, 8 is also a digit in the decimal system, with the same value as 8 in the nonal system.) * The hexadecimal (base 16) system is indicated with the digit G from the heptadecimal (base 17) system; note that there is no digit G in the hexadecimal system. (There also is no digit G in the decimal system.) This convention has been chosen to consistently display all system base indicators with one digit. The alternatve of using the decimal system would lead to double-digit indicators for the decimal system and above. (Using a base-n numeral to indicate base n was not an option, as in any number system that numeral would be... 10.) The base can be selected in the user settings menu in the device. Optionally, the user may turn on standard time, displayed in smaller font below the decimal time, using on-watch customization settings. The watch face uses custom fonts. The font presented here is SUSEMono, available from Google Fonts as a True Type font (ttf). It has been converted to a bitmap font (bmp, fnt) using the open source command-line ttf2bmp converter. The hours, minutes, and seconds are displayed with Ubuntu Bold, Medium, and Regular, respectively, size 70 pixels.
