About
Essential Watch Face
The Essential watch face combines classic elegance with modern functionality, designed exclusively for AMOLED displays. Featuring a dark background with soft beige accents, it offers clear readability and a minimalist style perfect for everyday wear.
Customizable Colors:
Users can personalize two colors for the cutouts, indices, and hands — the classic beige shown here or a fresh light blue.
Key Features & Complications:
A complication at the 2 o’clock position (around 14h) where users can choose between altitude, distance, or calories burned.
Date and day display in the left cutout.
Digital time in AM/PM format in the right cutout.
Step count, battery percentage, and heart rate elegantly arranged in the lower cutouts.
Battery level indicator in the center of the dial visually fills the inside of the battery icon to show current charge status.
Always-On Display (AOD) Support:
In AOD mode, only the hands, indices, and battery progress indicator remain visible, ensuring energy efficiency while maintaining essential information.
