Milkyway

Free during development period. Milkyway puts our own galaxy on your wrist, seen from the outside — and marks where you are standing. The barred core burns warm at the centre, four spiral arms wind out through dust lanes and star-forming knots, and a scatter of field stars fills the dark around it. On the Orion spur, a single gold crosshair marks the Sun. That is the whole idea: a picture of a galaxy is decoration, but a picture of the galaxy you are inside, with your own star marked on it, is something you show people. It moves. The disc turns one full rotation a day, arms sweeping within a composition that never tumbles, while the Sun marker orbits the core — you are here, going around. The starfield twinkles as the minutes pass, and an optional live sparkle re-seeds every second while the screen is awake. Set the rotation to half, double or quadruple speed if you want to see it move. Five metric positions, drawn as astronomy rather than bolted on. Four sit on their own orbits in the dial's dark corners and one at six o'clock. Each is a dotted path with a lit body on it, and that body's POSITION along the path is how close you are to your goal. The value curves along the arc beside it, and you can size the whole set small, standard or large. Point any of the five at over forty metrics: steps, heart rate, calories, floors, Body Battery, stress, blood oxygen, respiration, distance, elevation, pressure, temperature, weather and battery among them. Set your own target, or follow the goal your watch already keeps — the lit body's position along its orbit IS the progress. Make it your own galaxy. Nine colour themes: Realistic, Ember, Ice, Violet, Silver, Sepia, Aurora, Crimson and Nebula. Each is a full nine-stop ramp rather than a hue shift, so the core, arms, dust and stars all move together. Recolour the Sun, the spiral arms, the core, the background stars and the nebulae independently, from forty-one colours each. Or hide them. Turn off the dust lanes, the nebulae or the field stars, or take away the Sun marker itself. Size the galaxy small, standard or large, and put the date either with the readouts under the time or up among the status indicators. The always-on display is the lit face simplified, not a badge over a blank screen. The same galaxy renders as sparse dim ink, with the time, date, battery and status cues stacked over it on their own dark plates. It walks an eight-pixel path every minute so no pixel sits lit, and every element is an opt-in tier. Distance follows your kilometres or miles setting, the clock follows your 12 or 24-hour setting, and the whole interface is translated into seventeen languages.
