Looks

The pale grey-green LCD of a 1980s digital watch with a little handheld game built in - the faint ghosts of its unused segments, a ring bezel printed LIGHT, MODE, ALARM and CHRONOGRAPH, and every reading real.

The display

  • The time in big italic 7-segment digits, the seconds small beside them, and PM, AM or 24H as your watch is set.
  • The weekday and the day in 14-segment letters: SUN 25.
  • Two readings along the bottom, in the face's own segment digits: your steps and your battery by default, or any data you pick. Each shows its app's icon over the value, or the app's name where it sends no icon; set one to Empty and it leaves the line clean.

The game

  • A man with a basket stands under three ball lanes, a ball waiting at the top of his lane; he moves to a new lane every minute.
  • The score counts one catch for every 500 steps you walk.
  • Tap the screen, and at every full hour, the game plays: balls drop in true LCD steps, he runs to catch them, and the backlight glows for its length.
  • At your daily step goal a star burst and GOAL light up beside the score.

Settings

  • Case: black, silver, gold, red or blue.
  • Backlight: green, blue or amber.

Always-on

The panel goes black: the time and the date in thin light-grey segments.
