The Chronicle - Newspaper Watch Face
· v1.1.0
About
Your garmin watch, reprinted as a newspaper front page. Masthead, Oxford rules, and laid out the way a real front page is built.
The Chronicle newspaper watch face comes with an old school and vintage vibe.
Minimal, Light-weight and Stylish.
---------------------- FOUR EDITIONS ----------------------
ARCHIVE
a real aged-paper look, dark ink on a photographed ground.
INK
the default. Warm off-white on true black.
FINANCIAL
salmon rules and masthead, after old pink financial newsprint.
SPORT
a bold red masthead and page number, the back page of the paper.

---------------------- DATA ----------------------
MASTHEAD
the day of the week, in tracked display capitals, like a real nameplate.
FOLIO LINE
the date and your battery, printed like a paper's date and edition line ("JULY 15 - 82% CHARGED").
THE KICKER
the time spelled out in words on two lines ("Twenty-four minutes past" / "Eleven in the morning."), italic. Turn it off and the headline time grows to fill the space.
THE HEADLINE
the time itself, never zero-padded ("2:18", not "02:18"), with a small A.M./P.M. mark on its shoulder in 12 hour mode.
THE TICKER
an agate data row. Choose any three of Steps, Heart Rate, Outside Temperature, Calories, or Floors Climbed.
THE PAGE NUMBER
the seconds, printed as "- 24 -", the only moving part on the face.
---------------------- PERMISSIONS ----------------------
The face asks for internet and background access, and uses them for one thing only: checking your licence with the payment provider. Nothing else leaves your watch.
No location access, no notifications access. Everything on the page is read from data your watch already holds: the clock, date, battery, and (if you show them) steps, heart rate, outside temperature, calories, or floors. The outside temperature is your watch's own local weather, never your current location.
---------------------- SETTINGS (Garmin Connect app) ----------------------
* Edition: Archive / Ink / Financial / Sport
* Spell the time out in words: on/off
* Three ticker slots: Steps / Heart Rate / Outside Temperature / Calories / Floors Climbed
* Temperature unit: match your watch, Celsius, or Fahrenheit
12h/24h follows your watch's system setting. The kicker sentence is English only for now, so it defaults off on non-English languages. Switch it on any time.
