Sheikah time
· v2.2.0
About
Dating back parallel to the Japanese ‘Jomon’ period, the ancient Sheikah technologies are baffling even today.
To the best of our understanding, we have restored some of these advanced technological relics into a system installable as a watch face.
During our research we spent wild breath and tears to bring these functions to life...
The top left light-blue indicator correlates to your daily step count. It’ll count to 100% and continues counting beyond as the indicator turns back on itself.
The green top right indicator shows your floors-climbed progress, this will also count beyond your 100% goal. There seems to be space to show counts of 3 times your goal targets, but I can’t say we’ve personally got that far!
The bottom left has an indicator to show your heart rate. The midpoint is 100bpm, and the colour of the indicator shows your personal heart zones, blue is the lowest, green, yellow, orange and red for the highest bpm zone.
The bottom right shows your weekly exercise progress, again this looks like it will show you up to 3 times this goal.
The 9 o'clock indicator shows if your watch is searching for its phone connection.
The 3 o'clock indicates the battery level, yellow at 30%, orange at 20%, red at 10%, flashing at 5%.
Telling the time:
The hour indicator orbits close to the central eye, and the minute indicator is at the very edge of the display. The hour and minute markers only appear where necessary.
We’re looking deeper, next we're hoping to find a way to configure what you see.
I’m sure theres more to be uncovered, and if we do we’ll unlock them in future updates!
If it makes sense to you, we hope you enjoy it.
