Description
IT LOOKS LIKE A WATCH BECAUSE IT IS ONE.
A smartwatch face does not have to look like a phone. Just a Watch keeps
what a good watch dial has always had - the time, large and clear, and a
minute track of sixty ticks around the edge - and leaves the rest out.
The ticks do one quiet job: they light up, clockwise from twelve, as you
walk toward your daily step goal. No step count. No percentage. When the
goal is met, every tick turns gold, and that is the end of it. It never
laps, never asks for more.
Want seconds? The minute track does that too: one bright tick sweeps round
it, like a seconds hand.
THE FACE
- The time, oversized in Jost Light, a clean geometric numeral: hours over
minutes, or on one line
- Minutes a step softer than the hour, so the face reads in one glance
- A 60-tick minute track, longer ticks at every five, lighting clockwise
toward your daily step goal - progress you can feel, with no number to
chase
- All sixty ticks light, and turn gold, only when the goal is met
- True-black background - on AMOLED watches, black pixels draw no power
SECONDS, IF YOU WANT THEM
- Off by default
- On the dial: one bright tick travels the minute track
- Digits: small and quiet, beside the minutes or under the one-line time
MAKE IT YOURS - WITHOUT MAKING IT BUSY
- Layout: stacked or one line
- Time colour: warm white, white, stone, or the dial's colour
- Dial colour: sage, sand, sky, rose, lavender or stone
- Softer minutes, gold at goal and the steps dial itself can each be
switched off
- Every setting can be changed on the watch itself, no phone needed, or in
the Connect IQ app
BUILT FOR THE HARDWARE
- On AMOLED watches with always-on display, the low-power screen shows only
the time, dim and small, drifting a few pixels each minute to protect the
display. At most it lights under 4% of the screen, against Garmin's 10%
limit
- On MIP watches the whole face stays up; seconds on the dial repaint only
the two ticks that changed, so they stay cheap
- MIP screens get their own versions of each colour, so sage stays green
instead of turning grey
- Smooth, anti-aliased numerals drawn for every screen size, not scaled,
from 218 to 454 pixels
SUPPORT JUST A WATCH
Just a Watch is free. No ads, no trial, no locked "pro" tier, and nothing
leaves your watch - it has no permissions at all.
If it earns a place on your wrist and you would like to leave something,
there is a tip jar at https://paypal.me/sendhere9 - entirely optional, and
it unlocks nothing, because there is nothing to unlock. A rating or a short
review helps just as much.
Either way: go for a walk. The dial will light itself.
