You can also channge settings on the phone app (ConnectIQ). Go to the watch face and click settings. IMPORTANT: Some settings need about 5 minutes to take effect (day/night mode or planet settings). Editing these settings from the watch is immediate. Individually change the color of each element: hour, minutes, date, data fields, radial separators, ecliptic line, equator line.

All calculations are very optimized and the drawing of elements is done in layers, so that stars or planets are re-drawn only when they need to (rarely). ============ ABOUT ============= Stargazer is an astronomy watch face and planetarium for your wrist, designed for stargazing, hiking, camping, and outdoor adventures.
