Hurricane

Free during development period. Hurricane puts a storm on your wrist, imaged the way a weather satellite images a real one. A banded eyewall wraps a clear eye, four to eight rainbands spiral out to the rim, and the time sits in the calm at the centre. Every cell is drawn fresh — nothing here is a stored picture. The storm is your day. At rest it sits as a quiet tropical depression. As you close on your goal the eyewall tightens, the bands brighten and the pressure falls, through the categories a real storm climbs. Reach the target and it is a category five. Go past it and the pressure keeps falling, the way a real category five deepens, so a day you beat still looks like one. Bind it to what you actually track. Steps, distance, calories, heart rate, Body Battery, floors, stress and the rest can each drive the storm, and a second gauge can carry another. Set your own target or follow the one your watch already keeps. And when a reading is unavailable it tells you, rather than showing you a number it does not have. Hold any readout to open that metric's full glance. Health and fitness: Heart rate, Resting HR, HR Zone, Body Battery, Stress, Sleep Score, Respiration, SpO2. Training: Recovery Time, VO2 Max (run), VO2 Max (bike), Active minutes (daily), Weekly Intensity, Race 5K, Race 10K, Race Half, Race Marathon. Also: Steps, Floors, Distance, Total Calories, Active Calories, Elevation, Ascent, Descent, Notifications, Battery. Weather: Temperature, Feels Like, Humidity, Dew Point, Precipitation, Wind, Pressure, UV Index, Solar Intensity, Sunrise, Sunset. Read it in six channels. Infrared is the classic false-colour scheme forecasters work in. Water vapour cools it to blues and greens. Mono strips it to grey. Dvorak, Spectrum and Ember each re-image the same storm differently, and one setting changes every cell, band and eyewall together. Have it switch to a visible-light channel at sunrise and back after dark, and let the whole system turn as it drifts — slow, standard, fast, or held still. The eye is yours. Make it small and the storm takes the dial; make it large and the time and its two readouts get the room. Colour it yourself: the storm's ramp takes three tints — the outer bands, the main mass and the eyewall. The clock, the goal ring, the split ring, the readouts and the flavour line each take one on top. Leave any of them on Auto and they follow the channel. A burn-in-safe always-on display keeps a dimmed eyewall and the time, so the watch face stays readable without burning the panel. Change the channel, the eye size and the rotation from the watch itself, without reaching for your phone. Decide what it tells you and what it costs. Status cues run from all of them to none through six combinations of notifications, connection and alarm. The notification count can be on or off, and the battery shows as an icon, an icon and a percentage, or nothing at all. The ocean behind the storm can go pure black and the storm itself can run dimmed, so a bright face costs less on AMOLED.
