Camera Lens

The front of a fast professional camera lens fills your watch, seen straight down its axis: an anodised barrel, a knurled focus ring, the deep coated glass in the middle, and the nine blades of the iris standing over it. The hands turn in the iris's opening.

A classic analog face

• The hours are painted round the barrel, with the engraved scale and the red index mark of a real lens.
• White hands and a signal-red seconds hand, as a lens's own markings are painted.
• The day and date sit on their own black panel under the index mark.

An iris that works

• Every minute the iris breathes: it closes one stop and opens again.
• Every hour a flare crosses the glass, with the small round ghosts a real lens throws.
• Tap the lens and it stops all the way down to a nine-sided star, then opens again.
• In always-on mode the face turns dark: the barrel's rings, the iris's opening and the hours traced in faint light, with the hands, the date, your steps and your battery, to save power.

Your information on the barrel

Your steps, unread notifications and battery are painted on three panels round the bottom, as a lens carries its markings.

Make it yours

• Barrel: black anodised or brushed silver.
• Coating: emerald or amber, which is what the glass throws back at the light.
• Seconds hand: on by default; switch it off to save battery.
• Three complications on the barrel: steps, unread notifications and battery by default. Choose other data for any of them in the watch face editor.

To customize, touch and hold the watch face, then tap Customize.
