Description

What is a a watch? We've used them for decades without asking this basic question, what exactly does it do? You would think it just tells the time, but in reality it tracks the movement of celestial bodies and quantifies it down to two digits. Maybe three. How can we make this better? How do we extract more from this process? How do we make it *smart*? I wen't on a trip chasing solar eclipse that enlightened me and result of this epiphany is this watchface.

Instead of just telling you time, you will be able to tell what is going on with time. Why is the sun suddenly going dark in the middle of the day? What is that bright point blinking in the sky? Are those aliens? Chill, its just RayanAir flight FR110. Whats that bright spot above horizon, let me check, oh its Venus. Took me 5 seconds. And I also see instantly what is the UV Index, how many steps have I done or even if Quiet Mode is enabled. Oh look, ISS is flying above us!

All of it in your own style - possibilities are endless but remember! With great power comes great responsibility - more things mean more battery drain, more features will make things harder to see at glance, too many fancy elements might strain pebble CPU and visuals will stutter. Design isn't easy, but its fun, express yourself, or pick one of the presets that I quickly cooked up.

You will be able to explore cosmos straight from your wrist. See if there's a chance for aurora or falling stars. You can also save your favorite style presets into one of 6 save slots and adjust them quickly as you need (automatic style switching coming soon). During Solar Eclipse event the watch will count down to each phase and can even warn you with vibrations. Or just vibrate every hour during your day to remind you how quickly time flies.

Can your expensive Rolex do this? Right. I thought so.
