Marquee Digits 3D

Four giant marquee letters stand on a dark stage before a red velvet curtain: the time in deep metal channel digits, seen in perspective with their side returns showing, round light bulbs set along every stroke. They stand on a glossy black floor that mirrors them, their warm light spilling over the boards.

Every minute, a chase

When a digit changes, the new one lights up bulb by bulb, the light running along its strokes like a theatre marquee. On the hour all four digits chase at once.

Tap for the spotlight

Tap the watch face and a follow spot sweeps across the stage; it sweeps on the hour too.

Three kinds of light

• Warm: warm white bulbs on gold-painted metal.
• Colour: each digit painted its own colour, with tinted bulbs.
• Neon: no bulbs - glowing neon tubes run inside the channels, pink for the hours and cyan for the minutes.

Readings on lit signs

Steps, unread notifications and battery on small lit sign boxes on the stage, and the date on a sign of its own. Put another app's complication there and it shows that app's icon and text.

Easy on the battery

Nothing moves at rest: the chases play only when a digit changes, the spotlight only on a tap and on the hour. Always-on shows only the digits' outlines and the date, dim on black.

Make it yours

• Bulbs: warm, colour or neon.
• Three complications.
• 12- or 24-hour time, as your watch is set; in 12-hour time an hour below 10 stands as one digit in the middle.

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