MoonWatch

MoonWatch — Astronomical Chronograph Watch Face MoonWatch is a premium analog watch face inspired by the great mechanical chronographs of watchmaking history. Designed for Garmin AMOLED displays, it combines the elegance of a classic instrument with three rare astronomical complications you won't find on any other watch face. Features -Dauphine-style hour and minute hands with lume slot and bevel-tip -Chronograph seconds hand with red lollipop disc -Tachymeter scale on the outer bezel — measure speed or production rate with a single sweep Three astronomical subdials: 9 o'clock — Solar Constellation: the IAU zodiacal constellation (13 constellations, Ophiuchus included) currently traversed by the Sun, displayed as a 3-letter abbreviation (VIR, OPH, SGR…). The hand shows the Sun's progress through the constellation from entry (12h) to exit 3 o'clock — Equation of Time: the difference between true solar time and mean solar time, ranging from −14 min (early February) to +16 min (early November). The hand is centred on zero, with custom ±5 / ±10 / ±15 min graduation marks — the visual signature of the analemma 6 o'clock — Moon Phase: synodic algorithm (29.53-day cycle), with four phase icons around the dial Star field background with variable star brightness Always-On Display (AOD) mode: burn-in safe, all three subdials preserved with dimmed hands Tachymeter — two practical examples Speed measurement: Start the chronograph as you cross a milestone marker (km 0). Stop it when you reach km 1. Read the value on the bezel directly — if the seconds hand points to 120, you are travelling at 120 km/h. Production rate: Start the chronograph when a production cycle begins. Stop it when one unit is completed. The bezel reading gives you the hourly rate — if the hand stops at 80, your line produces 80 units per hour. Chronograph control: managed via the watch face settings in the Garmin Connect app (Start / Pause / Reset).

v2.1.2 • Hour and minute hands redrawn: the lume now fills almost the entire width, leaving only a thin metal frame. • Much better night legibility — the full length of the hands glows, instead of just the tip. • Slimmer point and uniform body for a more faithful profile. "2.1.1" • Redesigned hour and minute hands: baton hands with a base that blends into the central hub. "2.1.0" • Redesigned hour and minute hands: baton hands with a base that blends into the central hub. • Reworked hub: a layered, graduated cap where each hand clearly meets its own ring. • More reliable chronograph: it no longer resets when you return to the watch face, and resumes correctly after a watch restart. "2.0.2" : Refined hour and minute hand tips — slimmer lance-style point, bright central ridge for a polished Dauphine bevel, and a tapered teardrop lume cap replacing the flat dot "2.0.1" — Minor visual refinement: the lume dot at the tip of the hour and minute hands is now red, matching the accent color of the seconds hand. "2.0.0" : New complications 9 o'clock — Solar Constellation: IAU zodiacal constellation traversed by the Sun (VIR, OPH, SGR…), hand shows Sun's progress entry→exit 3 o'clock — Equation of Time: true vs. mean solar time in minutes, hand centred on zero, custom ±5/±10/±15 min ticks Visual Hand tips: 3-facet bevel + lume dot Seconds hand correctly above hour/minute hands Moon phase icons enlarged Stars: 3 brightness levels in both modes AOD: now mirrors active layout (subdials, ticks, branding — all dimmed) Under the hood Chrono timer: 32-bit → 64-bit (fixes overflow after ~25 days) Moon, constellation, EoT: cached, recomputed once per day max "1.0.0" : First release
