A Pebble watchface born as a failed iteration on the road to "World Cup 2026".

While building "World Cup 2026" — a watchface using a custom typeface inspired by the World Cup 2026 typography — an early approach was tried using pre-baked PDC vector resources instead of drawn paths. The font wasn't quite right, the architecture hit its limits, and the approach was eventually abandoned in favour of the path-drawing technique used in fwc26. But the result was interesting enough to keep.

Displays HH:MM in a 2×2 grid. Each digit gets one of four colors from the WC2026 palette: coral red, royal blue, yellow, and teal.

A watchface for the 2026 World Cup, with digits inspired by the tournament logo.
