Ámbar

Ámbar is a retro digital face built around one idea: a liquid-crystal display that behaves like the real thing. Every digit and letter is drawn by our own segment engine as true seven-segment and fourteen-segment shapes, with the small gaps at the joints and the slight italic lean of a real LCD module. The unlit segments stay faintly visible on the panel — the ghosting that gives a real LCD its depth — and you can switch that off if you prefer a clean panel. The module sits inset in a dark case ring with printed minute marks, like a tool watch holding an LCD block. Features - A real segment engine: seven-segment digits and fourteen-segment letters, drawn with joint gaps and an 8-degree italic lean - Ghost segments: the unlit segments show faintly, like a real LCD panel, with a switch to turn the effect off - 12 color themes in two families: bright panels with dark ink, and backlight panels with glowing ink — the amber default gives the face its name - Three data slots, each with 8 sources: steps, heart rate, Body Battery, watch battery, calories, distance, floors, stress — or empty - Day of the week and the date in segment type across the top, with three date forms: automatic, day and month, or month and day - Status marks for phone connection, alarm, notifications and do-not-disturb, with a switch to hide them - A ten-segment battery bar that turns to the alert color under 20 percent, with a switch to hide it - Seconds beside the minutes while the screen is awake, with a switch - Always-on ready: dim segment digits on a black screen, drawn to keep an AMOLED screen safe - Reads sensors once a minute and redraws from what it kept, to save battery - Four languages: English, Spanish, German and French - 12-hour or 24-hour time and your distance units follow the watch settings The face never shows a blank field: a reading your watch cannot give draws as "--". Every store picture is a real screenshot from the simulator. The face on your wrist looks like the face in these images. Settings Open the Connect app, pick your device, then go to Connect IQ Apps, then Watch Faces, then Ámbar, then Settings. There you choose the theme, the three data slots, the date format, and the switches for the ghost segments, the seconds, the battery bar and the status marks. Every change applies right away. There is no need to reinstall the face. Support Do you have a question or a problem? Write to [email protected] and I answer.
