Panda Chronograph

A chronograph dial of the classic kind, and nothing else: sunburst metal, three counters snailed into it, applied faceted indices, a railway minute track, a tachymeter round the flange and a date at 4:30.

Nothing on this face moves but the hands. There is no scene, no glow and no animation to tap for. A dial like this was always meant to be read at a glance and then left alone - and a watch face that draws only its hands is easy on the battery.

Made to be read

• Applied indices with a polished ridge down the middle, so they catch the light like the real thing.
• Baton hands cut as two facets, each with its own shadow on the dial, and a fine red central seconds hand as a chronograph has.
• A railway minute track, every minute marked, every fifth heavier.
• The date in its aperture at 4:30, in digits alone.

Your readings, where a chronograph keeps its numbers

Steps, unread notifications and battery live in the three counters, each under the icon of the data it holds - change a counter to something else in the editor and its icon changes with it.

Make it yours

• Dial: panda (light dial, dark counters) or reverse panda.
• Seconds hand: on by default; switch it off to save battery.
• Three complications, one in each counter.

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

Every line of this dial is drawn in code - the metal, the turning in the counters, the indices, the printing, even the alphabet the numbers are set in. There is no photograph in it and no maker's name on it.

Works on watches with Wear OS 6 or later. Made in Watch Face Format: nothing to install on your phone, no permissions, no data collected.
