About

A minimalist, elegant, nerdy, typography-focused Garmin Connect IQ watch face that displays the current time with the Digital Rain design in the background. Matrix Time displays the current time as digits with Digital Rain in the background. Note: Due to power constraints on watch faces, the digital rain does not appear to fall smoothly, as watch faces are refreshed once per second. Lite edition with limited features.

What's new

Matrix Time 0.2.1 - Always-on display: the watch face now shows a readable, large clock when the screen dims, instead of the full rain. It moves slightly every minute, which is what keeps the burn-in protector from blanking the screen. - No more digits in the rain. The falling glyphs are letters only, so the time is the only number on screen. - 12-hour watches now show 12-hour time. A watch set to 12-hour mode showed 13:45 instead of 1:45. - The rain reaches the edge on round watches. A thin bare ring round the rim is gone. - The rain is centred on the screen, and the glyphs no longer touch each other. - 17 more watches supported, 51 in total: fenix 9 and 9 Pro, Venu X1, Descent G2, D2 Air X10 and Mach 1 / 2 / 2 Pro, Approach S50 and S70, Forerunner 70 and 170. - Sharper launcher icon, drawn at each watch's own size. - Substantially less work per frame, which the battery notices: the face redraws about 10% faster and skips roughly half the glyphs it used to paint invisibly.
