About

Your step count, living on your wrist as a colony of tiny cats. Every 1,000 steps a kitten turns up in a cardboard box and moves in. The colony wanders, yawns and naps all day, growing to 26 pets plus your own cat and a secret (fewer on some older watches, see below). Pets never die or leave; only merges take them. Still in active development: requests and ratings welcome. FIVE TIERS 5 kittens merge into a Super (bigger, gold name tag), 5 Supers into a Deluxe (bow tie, top hat or glasses), 5 Deluxes into a King (crown), 5 Kings into a God (halo). CATS OR DOGS Or switch to dogs, who merge the same way: 20 breeds, each drawn its own way - German Shepherd, Border Collie, Corgi, Labrador, Pug, Husky, Golden Retriever, Beagle, Dachshund, Chihuahua, Boxer, Dalmatian, Rottweiler, Shiba Inu, Great Dane, French Bulldog, Australian Shepherd, Pomeranian, Saint Bernard, Poodle. A LIVING PARK On colour watches, pick black or the park. The sky follows the real day and moon phase, real weather brings clouds, rain or snow, and more pets sleep at night. A skyline for every day: Eiffel Tower (Mon), beach sunrise (Tue), Pyramids (Wed), city street (Thu), mountains (Fri), Big Ben (Sat), Taj Mahal (Sun). 26 METRICS Three fields, each one of: steps, distance, calories, active minutes, floors, step goal %, heart rate, resting HR, Body Battery, stress, VO2 Max run, VO2 Max bike, weekly steps / distance / run / ride / calories / floors / active minutes, steps to next pet, battery, date, goal streak, progress to next merge, colony age, pets raised. An edge ring fills towards your next pet. End a day under 5,000 steps and one pet spends the next day glum under a rain cloud, unless Happy mode is on. SETTINGS Background, pet type, panel colour (purple, blue, teal, green, crimson, amber, slate, pink, outline), clock digits or text in 3 sizes with optional seconds, date on/off in 3 sizes and 3 formats, 12h/24h/auto, Happy mode, next-pet ring. YOUR OWN CAT Choose one of 15 coats (tabby brown, grey/ginger/cream tabby, black, black and white, grey, grey and white, ginger, white, cream, calico, tortoiseshell, siamese, bengal) and a name of up to 8 letters. It wears a gold star and is never merged. Coat Off removes it. SURPRISES Walk on and rarer coats and breeds join the crowd, and the park gains extras, all unannounced. One secret resident, neither cat nor dog, comes from a hidden milestone or a code. NEW WATCH? Your colony is saved on the watch. To move it, turn on Show save code and enter that 7-character code as the Secret code on the new watch. A code only ever adds pets. WATCHES WITH LESS ROOM Less memory or drawing time; anything unlisted works as above. - Instinct 2/2S/2X, 3 Solar, E 45mm, Crossover, Descent G1: cats only, 20 pets, 4 metrics (steps, steps to next pet, heart rate, battery); no background, panel colour, clock/date size or own cat. AMOLED Instincts get everything. - fenix 5 Plus/5S Plus/5X Plus, fenix 6S Pro/Sapphire (all editions), Forerunner 245 Music/645 Music/745/945/945 LTE, Venu Sq, vivoactive 3 Music, Descent Mk2 S, first-gen MARQ: 20 pets; 9 metrics (the first 7, steps to next pet, battery); Eiffel Tower Mondays, plain park otherwise; dogs share 7 body shapes, keeping their colours and sizes; patterned coats and special breeds look plain. - fenix 6S/6S Solar/6S Dual Power, Forerunner 245, Forerunner 55: as above, but cats only, 18 pets. - fenix 6 Pro/Sapphire (all editions), quatix 6: 20 pets, 9 metrics, 7 dog shapes. - fenix 6/6 Solar/6 Dual Power, Enduro: cats only, 18 pets, 9 metrics. - Forerunner 255/255S: cats only, 18 pets. On the cats-only fenix and Forerunner models, pet type does nothing: they have half the drawing time, too little for dogs. The more you walk, the bigger your kingdom gets.
