This is much easier and +more precise to read at a glance than a conventional hand, and as a bonus can distinguish +midnight (all black) from noon (all white). + +The day and date are optionally displayed, typographically smooshed into the corners. +Either you'll like that, or you won't. + +## Options + +Because sometimes I don't want to burn what I'm cooking and others I'm lazy and just want to know if it's afternoon yet, +you can alter the number of ‘hands’ on the display. When the watch is unlocked, slide up to add dots representing the minute and second, +or down to remove the distraction. There's also a setting that displays the second hand, but only if the watch is perfectly face-to-the-sky, +in case you want the ability to check the _exact_ time, hands free, without the impact on battery life this usually entails. + +Although we genrally obey the system-wide theming, you can long press on the display for a menu of additional options specific to the face. +We don't obey the system 12/24 setting, since it the design of the face is equally good in either interpretation. + +## Limitations + +Since this is intended as a design exercise, it does not and will probably never support the Bangle's standard widgets. +Sorry about that, but control of all the pixels was just too important to me. + +There's also no support for internationalisation at present. This irks me, but since every month and day name is hand-drawn, +there's no fix other than hard work. Talk to me about it if there's a language you'd like. + +## Feedback + +[I'd be happy to hear your feedback](https://www.github.com/stephenPspackman) if you have comments or find any bugs, or (most especially) +if you find this work interesting. + +## By + +Made by [Stephen P Spackman](https://www.github.com/stephenPspackman).
