About

This is an upgrade of the Moonphase Chrono watchface with on watch chronograph start/stop functionality. For those die-hard analog chronograph lovers, myself included. This watchface features an uncluttered, easy to read design. # Features * Analog time * 3 subdial layout * Moon phase shown in lower subdial (northern or southern hemisphere display based on GPS position) * Left sub-dial configurable to: Heart rate as % of maximum Heart rate Battery % Today's step progress to goal % Today's activity minutes progress to goal % This week's activity minutes progress to goal % Current temperature * Date hand * Configurable hour and minute hand color * Outer arc can be set to be a move indicator, battery%, heart rate as % of max or goal progress indicator * Battery saving mode * Anti-aliased graphics (if supported by watch model) * Burn-in safe, full screen, always on display for AMOLED displays (with electable brightness level) NOTE: When the sub-dial reads 0% or a very small value, a black circle appears in the center of the dial hand (like a zero). This is to distinguish it from a 100% reading. # PRO Version features * Roman numeral hour number option * 3D (spherical) moonphase option * Configurable hour number color * Configurable second hand color * Configurable subdial pointer color * 4th subdial display option * All subdials can be configurable * Additional selections for subdials: Today's active calories burned progress to goal % Distance run/walked Floors climbed Meters (or feet) climbed METs (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) (during an activity) MET·hrs today MET·hrs/week Recovery time (hours) Body battery Stress level Feels like temperature Probability of precipitation Sea level barometric pressure [kPa] Windspeed (customizable units) Wind bearing Altitude 2nd time zone or UTC time Lunar cycle [days] (bottom subdial only) Moon illumination [%] (Optionally compensated for earth-moon distance)   Sunlight hours (shows sundial like graphic with 24 hour current time pointer) NOTE: Not all selections are available on all watch models depending on hardware support NOTE: If the bottom subdial is set to sunlight hours, then the sundial like graphic will be shown during daylight hours, and the moonphase graphic will be shown during nighttime hours. An orange arc on the subdial circumference indicates daylight hours when the moonphase complication is shown. * Directional heading compass indicator (when a GPS signal is available) * Sunrise and sunset time markers on the dial * Option to show the period that the moon is above the horizon on the outer arc. (24 hour scale), allowing reading of the moonrise and moonset times. * Chronograph (count up timer function) (control via watchface settings menu and press and hold on the touchscreen) * Chronograph reset emulation: (shows second hand in 0 position in low power mode) * Always on second hand option (for Forerunner 255 and 955 series, Legacy Saga and Legacy Hero series, Vivoactive 4/4S, Approach S62 and Fenix 7/7S/7X models only) * Bonus: replica mode # Payment For the PRO version, use this link to pay €2.99 via Stripe (no account required; credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay accepted). https://buy.stripe.com/9B6cN60361tUdVl1Mif3c2h Alternative payment via Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/trudelta/2.99EUR Important instructions to get your unlock code quickly: https://ko-fi.com/post/Payments-via-PayPal-Z8Z6AIK78 If you don't get a reply within 8 hours, see here for help: https://ko-fi.com/post/Common-causes-for-not-receiving-your-unlock-code-N4N8BUEGH # Tags Chronometer, chronograph, analog, moon phase

When this option is enabled, the moon illumination value is scaled such that 100% is the brightness of a full moon when it is closest to the earth (sometimes referred to as a supermoon). Version 2.1.0 PRO Version only change: Added option to display time period that the moon is above the horizon to the outer arc function selections.
