About

Can you read the time before your friends can? Challenge yourself to think in base 3 — the number system with only three digits: 0, 1, and 2. Every number on this watch face is displayed in ternary (base 3). Just like normal numbers, the largest value is on the left. Each digit position is worth 3 times more than the one to its right: - Leftmost digit = highest value - Each step right = divide by 3 - Rightmost digit = 1 (3⁰) To read a number, multiply each digit by its position value and add them up. For example, 14:45 looks like 112:1200 — where 1×9 + 1×3 + 2×1 = 14, and 1×27 + 2×9 = 45. The watch displays: - Time — hours and minutes - Date — month and day - Battery — percentage remaining - Steps — daily step count An optional "cheat mode" overlays the decimal values in small text — great while you're still learning. New to base 3? Search "base 3 number system" on Google or YouTube and you'll be reading it within minutes. A watch face for the mathematically curious.
