Fauxmega Runmaster: Redux
· vV4.5.2
About
This analog watch face is inspired by the Omega Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon Apollo 8 Edition and the Grey Side of the Moon, with custom accent colors for AMOLED devices. It recreates the original look while adding touches that would be impossible on a real mechanical watch. All features are free.
This is a full remake of my previous WFB version, built from scratch to add improvements like translucent shadows and on device settings: "https://apps.garmin.com/apps/f3bec5fd-7dfd-402e-89d8-581e39040c73"
Features:
- Apollo and Artemis themes honoring NASA's Apollo 8 and Artemis II missions. Choose the Saturn V (Apollo) or the SLS (Artemis) rocket for the left sub-dial.
- 10 accent colors: Apollo 8 Yellow, Ruby, Emerald, Artemis Orange and Blue, Light Grey, Moonshine Gold, Rose Gold, Plasma Purple, Teal, and Mars Orange.
- 3 dial surfaces: Dark Side, Grey Side, and Mars. Pick a ready-made theme, or use Custom mode to mix any accent, surface, and either rocket.
- Realistic 3D hands that re-shade as they move so they always read as polished metal lit from the top-left, with soft drop shadows that deepen with each hand's height in the stack.
- Functional chronograph that keeps running with the screen off, and even when the hands are not set to chronograph, with negligible battery use.
- Moon phase: long-press the logo to reveal the current lunar phase as a shadow across the moon-surface dial.
- Sub-dial data options: Body Battery, Battery, Heart Rate %, Steps, Floors, Floors Goal %, Step Goal %, Intensity Minutes, Intensity Hours, Calories, Stress, Recovery Time, Battery Days, Altimeter, Sunrise/Sunset, Month/Day, UTC clock, and chronograph registers.
- Detailed gear animation through the skeleton cutout (can be paused).
- Date window at 4:30 with an optional tap shortcut (Calendar, Weather, Notifications, Sunrise/Sunset, Heart Rate, or Body Battery).
- Independent long-press shortcuts for each sub-dial.
- Always-On Display with full data sub-dials, selectable lume color (green, red, white, orange), and optional sleep-lume modes.
Using the chronograph:
- Long-press the center of the watch to switch Chronograph mode on or off.
- In Chronograph mode, two pushers appear at the 2 and 4 o'clock positions, like a real chronograph.
- Long-press the 2 o'clock pusher to start or stop.
- Long-press the 4 o'clock pusher to reset.
- The three sub-dials become the stopwatch registers: left is seconds, right is the 30-minute recorder, bottom is the 12-hour recorder.
- It keeps running with the screen off and after you leave Chronograph mode, storing the start time and computing elapsed time, so it records continuously with almost no battery use.
- An optional start/pause calibration setting compensates for the touch-and-hold delay.
I am offering the watchface for free, but if you do and you would like to buy me a coffee: https://ko-fi.com/cstrrider. Also, I have hidden a little easter egg in the watch that makes it look even more authentic, so see if you can figure it out! If you would like me to spoil the secret I would be happy for a donation of above $2.

What's new
FYI: If you buy we a coffee through Ko-Fi I will respond with the Easter Egg description within Ko-Fi. If you have any issues please send me an email using the contact button on this post or at [email protected].
V4.5.1: Bug fixes and performance improvements for AOD and Smooth second hand/Chronograph mode. Fix for crash when coming out of Full AOD mode with smooth second hands on. Hands should no longer disappear under certain actions and hands remain smooth. Note, if you have performance issues you may need to turn off smooth second hands.
V4.4: Bug-fix for V4.3 moonphase issues.
V4.3: Added support for additional older MIPs watches with a "Lite version". Note that this version does not have many of the features you would get on an AMOLED or newer MIPs watch. MIPs is still considered beta due to my inability to test outside of the simulator. Let me know via the email if you have any issues.
Added Analog (ish) weather option for the sub-dials. Improved the Moonphase mode with better graphics and added a Mars version, use the current "Mars Phase" relative to Earth. A fully dark view = conjunction.
V4.2: Bug-fix for moonphase view
V4.1: Additional Beta support for some MIPs devices. I do not have a device to test on besides in the simulator so before giving a bad rating send me an email with bugs or ugly results through the contact Developer and I may be able to fix the issues!
V4.0: Complete rebuild of https://apps.garmin.com/apps/f3bec5fd-7dfd-402e-89d8-581e39040c73 built from scratch in monkey C with some help from my friend Claude.
