SET LIKE A PAGE, NOT A DASHBOARD. Most watch faces are built like instrument panels. Classic Times is set like the opening page of a good book: a tall serif hour, and beside it, a step down, the minutes in italic. Around them runs a single hairline. That hairline fills clockwise from twelve as you walk toward your daily step goal. No step count. No percentage. When the goal is met the ring closes and turns gold - and that is the end of it. It never laps, never asks for more. Want seconds? A small compass-rose arrow rides the ring, pointing out from the dial, one step each second. THE FACE - The hour in Instrument Serif, tall and upright; the minutes in its italic, stepped down to the right in the ring's colour - Or both on one line, sharing a baseline - A hairline steps ring, filling clockwise toward your daily step goal - progress you can feel, with no number to chase - The ring closes and turns 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 ring: a compass-rose arrow, one half lit, one half shaded, travelling round the ring - Digits: small italic, beside the minutes or under the one-line time MAKE IT YOURS - WITHOUT MAKING IT BUSY - Layout: stepped or one line - Hour colour: warm white, white, stone, or the ring's colour - Ring colour: sage, sand, sky, rose, lavender or stone - Minutes in the ring's colour, gold at goal and the ring 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 the same composition, 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; the seconds arrow repaints only the two spots it leaves and reaches, so it stays cheap - MIP screens get their own versions of each colour, so they keep their hue - Smooth, anti-aliased numerals drawn for every screen size, not scaled, from 218 to 454 pixels - and checked, size by size, never to touch the ring SUPPORT CLASSIC TIMES Classic Times 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: take the long way home. The ring will close itself.

Version 1.0.1 Fixed: the italic minutes and seconds digits were slightly cut off at the top right and bottom left on the watch (the 2, 5 and 7 most of all). Every digit is now drawn whole, in both layouts and on the always-on screen. Thank you for the report Fixed: a one-pixel trim along the top of the digits in the one-line layout on the smallest screens New screenshots Version 1.0 - First release - Serif hour and italic minutes, stepped or on one line - Hairline steps ring against your daily goal, with no count; gold when you get there - Seconds as a compass-rose arrow on the ring, or as digits - Six ring colours, four hour colours - On-watch settings menu - Always-on display support with burn-in protection on AMOLED watches
