Lume
· v1.0
About
Lume is an analog watch face built around one idea: what a real dive watch does in the dark.
WHEN THE DISPLAY SLEEPS, THE LUME TAKES OVER
• The data, the minute track, the dial texture — everything else goes dark.
• What stays lit: the hands, the hour markers, the 12 / 6 numerals and the ring around the hand pivot, glowing in neon with a soft halo around them.
• The glow is strongest the moment the display goes dark and then slowly fades, the way real luminous paint does. It never drops below a readable floor.
CHARGED BY THE SUN
• On solar watches the face remembers the strongest sunlight it saw during the day and lets it fade out slowly — a sunny day means a brighter glow at night.
• On non-solar watches the glow simply runs at full strength.
DAYLIGHT IS A DIFFERENT WATCH
• Awake, the dial is dark and legible: pale "daylight lume" on the markers and hand inlays, a fine minute track, a subtle hexagonal dial texture, and your data.
• Three data fields plus the date, each picked from 16 metrics: steps, calories, heart rate, battery %, battery days, Body Battery, temperature, Zulu (UTC) time, sunrise, sunset, distance, floors, notifications, altitude, stress, solar intensity.
• Optional second hand (off by default to save battery).
DETAILS THAT MAKE IT READ RIGHT
• The fine lines — minute track, dial texture, the outline of the hands — do not glow themselves. They are faintly white, as if only reflecting the phosphor.
• Five lume colours: classic green, ice blue, amber, arctic white, orange.
• Four glow strengths, plus switches for fading, solar charging, glowing markers, numerals and dial outlines.
BUILT FOR YOUR DISPLAY
• MIP watches (fenix, Instinct, Forerunner): the glow simply stays on screen in low power mode, exactly like a charged dial on your wrist at night.
• AMOLED watches: in always-on mode the widest halo layer is dropped to stay inside the lit-pixel budget, and the whole drawing shifts a few pixels every minute to protect against burn-in.
Wake the display and it is instantly back to the full daylight dial.
