Twenty-four space backgrounds

Cycle on wake, every five or thirty minutes, hourly or daily through a curated orbital gallery.

Six digital time formats

Static anchoring and outline effects keep the clock readable against bright planets and horizon light.

Tactical Skeleton analog mode

A custom mechanical display uses opposing structural hands, perimeter markers and a floating seconds sweeper.

Four curved perimeter complications

Place heart rate, steps, active minutes, altitude, run or bike distance, temperature and battery around the image.

Why it exists

Twenty-four views beyond Earth.

For space enthusiasts who want the image to remain central while still controlling how time and data are presented.

  • Time in six formats
  • Analog mode
  • Heart rate
  • Steps
  • Active minutes
  • Altitude
  • Run or bike distance
  • Temperature
  • Battery

01

The image remains the hero

Data is pushed toward the perimeter so the selected planet, moon or orbital view can dominate the center.

02

Many ways to frame time

Users can move from a nearly photographic scene to a more tactical instrument without leaving the same product.

03

A rotating gallery

Flexible background intervals make the face feel like a collection rather than a single wallpaper.
