Watchface
Description
Efficient, battery saving, low power; updates just two pixels per ~3-5 minutes, for when you really need to stretch out those last few %. Tags: low battery saver, long life, linear, horizontal, bar, simple, clean, dark, black By default, watchfaces built for PebbleOS redraw the entire screen and send the whole thing to the display for every update even if only a small section has changed (that's just how the Layers API normally works). This one carefully updates only the pixels that need to, so that only those rows are actually sent to the display. Finally, it is designed to minimise the pixels/rows changed while still showing hours and minutes legibly. The result is (nearly) the most power-efficient watchface possible to implement while still updating live with minutes! Coming soon: configurable readability&features vs power use (config deliberately excluded here for bare minimum battery usage). Feedback welcome!
