About

Enjoying this watch face? Please consider leaving a review, or send me your feedback directly — it really helps development. Free during development period. Neon runs one colour sweep across the whole dial, and everything on it belongs to that sweep. Two goal arcs climb from six o'clock, one up each side of the rim, each led by a comet head that blooms the instant you hit the target. Far left is your first colour, far right your second, and every element between takes the sweep's colour at its own place — frames, icons, values, status cues, the date. The time is drawn character by character along the same sweep, so the hour opens in one colour and the minutes land in the other, all on a true-black screen that never sags to grey in the middle. Set the colour of the whole face in one move. Six presets name the pair — Neon (teal to magenta), Volt (lime to gold), Ember (amber to red), Ice (white to sky blue), Violet (indigo to purple) and Sunset (pink to orange) — or build your own from eighteen swatches at each end, or let an end follow its metric's own colour. The trend line and the week blips ride the sweep by default, and the comet on each arc can be an orb, chevron, star, diamond or flat cap. Point the arcs at the goals you actually chase. Each side takes steps, active minutes, floors, calories, distance or Body Battery, fills toward the target already set on your watch, and prints today's number as curved text — or as percent of goal. Switch on the week ring and each side grows its own seven-day history outside its arc: one cell per day, lighting up to three blips for how far you went. A day your watch recorded nothing for shows a hollow cell, never a fake zero. Leave the ring off and the arcs widen into the space instead. The centre is yours to fill. Under the clock sits a framed trend panel: a line riding the gradient over a fill that fades to black, its metric named and its live value in the caption — heart rate out of the box, or anything your watch keeps a history for. Two stacked panels flank it: live weather with today's high and low on the left, sunrise and sunset on the right. A framed rail above the clock carries the date and your battery, and three cells across the bottom start on floors, calories and stress. Every one of those places is a picker into a deep catalogue of health, activity and weather metrics, so nothing on this dial is stuck where it starts. Units follow your watch, the clock reads 12 or 24-hour with am/pm in the sweep's end colour, and the date is localized. Every number is set in a custom-baked typeface and every icon drawn crisp and anti-aliased on the watch itself. The always-on display is burn-in-safe by design: a dimmed, low-pixel clock that shifts gently through the day, with the date, battery and status cues each an opt-in tier. No ticking seconds, to spare your battery. Everything this face reads, it reads on the watch — nothing ever leaves it.

What's new

V1.0.0 - Neon is new. Two goal arcs sweep the rim as one colour gradient and bloom the moment you close a goal, the time reads in that same sweep character by character, and every frame, icon, value and cue takes its colour from where it sits, left to right across the dial. Six named presets or a custom pair, a glowing trend line, stacked live-weather and sunrise/sunset panels, a configurable readout in every position, an optional seven-day goal ring, and a burn-in-safe always-on display.
