About

*ATTENTION*: The MerlinLegacy watch face is designed for people who experience sleep disorders (Non24-hr). If you do not need these features, use the Merlin24Legacy watch face instead. -------------------- The MerlinLegacy watch face converts the standard 24-hr clock into a custom Non24-hr clock for people who experience Non-24-Hour Sleep-Wake Disorder with a consistent delay. It is also useful if you have a friend or family member with the disorder, or if you want a Non24-hr schedule for work or other reasons. The screen shows a primary clock at the center and up to two other clocks at the bottom and top right corner. For each clock, the user can choose which type of time is displayed: 1. The Regular 24-hr Clock shows common time. 2. The Regular Non24-hr Clock follows a circadian rhythm entered by the user, displayed only in Non24 format (no AM/PM). The date follows common time. 3. The Converted Non24-hr Clock is like a time zone conversion. It maintains a 24-hr format, and the duration of hours and minutes is based on the circadian rhythm. It translates morning and evening so others can understand. For example, at 1:00 PM common time, the Non24 user could be at 3:00 AM, when most others would be sleeping. The date follows Non24 time; after the clock is offset by more than 24 hours, it will skip or repeat 1 calendar day to maintain a similar date as common time. The Sync Date and Time is a reference point for common time, representing either the beginning of a Non24 day (00:00) or when the Converted Non24 Clock is in sync with common time. Note: The seconds value for the Converted Non24 Clock will periodically stay constant or skip 1 or 2 seconds because the refresh rate is not in sync with Non24 seconds. Additional features are also available. For more details, see the Merlin24Legacy app. A calculator spreadsheet is also available for additional Non24 resources: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1EKqGl49SUkPksOt8zV9Tw2vHSaOKsNES?usp=share_link -------------------- Don’t see your device?

You may need to change settings values after updating. - Added option "Sync Format" to specify whether the sync date and time should follow the Regular Non24 clock (beginning of Non24 day) or the Converted Non24 clock (sync Non24 with 24 clock, similar to existing behavior). - Removed settings to save memory: heart rate refresh rate; OpenWeatherMap refresh rate; and battery yellow, red status. These will be set to the following defaults: periodic, 20 min, 20%, 10%. - Added link to calculator spreadsheet in app description. - Improved efficiency and fixed bugs. -------------------- v1.0.1, December 19, 2023: - Added option to display secondary clock in top right field. - Removed settings for Top Right Field Visible and Bottom Field Visible to save memory.
