Bat Colony

High on the rock ceiling of an old crypt cave, a colony of bats is roosting. Look closer: they are hanging in the shape of the time. Every stroke of every digit is a short row of real bats hanging upside down, wings folded, each with its faint shadow on the rock.

Candles on the ledges

The date is carved into a large candle above the time. Your steps, your notifications and your battery are carved into three candle stubs below it, each lit, its warm glow on the rock. Remove a complication and its candle goes with it. Put another app's complication there and it shows that app's icon.

The colony stirs

Tap the watch face and the colony takes fright: a swarm of bats sweeps across the cave. It happens on its own every hour too.

Three lights

• Torchlight: warm and golden.
• Moonlight: cold and blue.
• Blood: deep red.

Easy on the battery

Nothing moves at rest; the bats only fly on a tap and on the hour. Always-on shows only the outlines of the roosting bats and the date, dim on black.
