Time, reduced to a single shape.
Prism strips the watch face down to one idea: a single triangle, constantly
reshaping itself against pure black. No numbers. No tick marks. No hands
in the traditional sense — just three points in negotiation with each
other, redrawing the moment every minute.
One point never moves: the center of your wrist, the origin of now.
A second point holds close, at 60% of the way to the edge, sweeping
a slow, wide arc — a full turn every twelve hours. That's your hour.
A third point reaches all the way to the edge of the display, tracing
a tight, fast circuit — a full turn every sixty minutes. That's your
minute.
The distance between them is the whole language. A short, blunt edge
for the hour. A long, sharp point for the minute. No labels required —
your eye reads proportion faster than it reads digits.
The result is a face that never looks the same twice. At 10:10 it's wide
and open. At 3:45 it's narrow and taut. At 12:00 it collapses to a single
line. Every minute, a new asymmetrical polygon — a private geometry
that happens to also tell time.
Prism runs on a true black background for maximum contrast and minimal
battery draw — on memory-in-pixel displays that means every unlit pixel
is truly off, and on AMOLED it means every unlit pixel is truly dark —
with a single flat, saturated color for the shape itself, smoothed with
anti-aliasing instead of a hard, blocky edge.
FEATURES
• One constantly morphing polygon — no numerals, no tick marks
• Choice of 5 striking accent colors: Pure White, Neon Green, Cyan,
Orange, Yellow
• Pure black background for battery efficiency and edge-to-edge contrast
• Smoothed, anti-aliased edges — no stair-stepping
• Minimalist, distraction-free, purely geometric
• Broad compatibility: 100+ round-display Garmin watches across the

Prism doesn't show you the time. It shows you the shape of the time.
