Decimal time systems haven't caught on yet, but they have some interesting properties!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_time
Treats a day as a 0-1 interval, where digits are "decidays" (a tenth of a day), "centidays" (a hundredth of a day), and "millidays" (a thousandth of a day), displaying them both in text and dial form.
A time of .5678 means 56.87% of your way through the day, so 50% is noon, 25% (6am) is roughly sunrise, and 75% is roughly sunset (6pm).
An increment of .0001 corresponds to 8.64 seconds, and there's about 7 of those per minute.
The size and colors of dials, text offsets, and position of 0 are configurable. With 0 (midnight) at the bottom, you get the nice property of all 24hr watches where aligning the hour indicator (white by default) with the sun, will lead to midnight pointing directly north (with the caveat of daylight savings and solar noon offsets).
## Guide to dial settings
Changing colors is a little involved, but you can do it from your phone and should take less than a minute:
1. open ConnectIQ on your phone
2. Device (bottom right) / My Watch Faces / Simple Metric / Settings / Dial
You will see a default value of "10:FFFFFF,6:FF0000,4:0000FF,0". This means:
- the deciday dial is 10 pixels wide, and a flag/dial color of FFFFFF (white)
- the centiday dial is 6 pixels wide, colored FF0000 (red)
- the milliday dial is 4 pixels wide, colored 0000FF (blue)
- the decimilliday dial is 0 pixels wide (no dial), with no color, but will show up as a number on the main interface
If you want to change the color, that's one of those FF0000 values. If you're familiar with RGB/hex codes, that's what that is. You can pick the color you like at e.g. https://htmlcolorcodes.com/color-picker/, and use those values instead.
