Pinball Playfield

A vintage pinball playfield, seen straight down, is the dial: a deep blue and violet space print with comets and stars, chrome wire rails round the edge and twelve amber diamond lamp inserts in a circle for the hours. The insert of the current hour glows warm amber.

Flippers for hands

The hour hand is a short red flipper and the minute hand a long white flipper with red rubber, both pivoting on a chrome post at the centre. Three red pop bumpers stand above them.

A steel ball for the seconds

A chrome steel ball rolls round the outer wire lane, one step each second. Turn it off in the settings for a calmer dial.

Tap for the jackpot

Tap the watch face: the pop bumpers flash, the lamp inserts chase round the circle and the display flashes JACKPOT. Every hour the inserts chase once round.

Readings in lights

Your steps are the score on an orange dot-matrix display at the bottom. Battery and unread notifications sit on two round amber lamp inserts beside it. Put another app's complication there and it shows that app's icon. Set a slot to Empty and its display or lamp goes dark.

Hour marks

• The amber lamp inserts.
• Roman numerals printed on the inserts.
• Arabic numerals printed on the inserts.

Easy on the battery

The ball moves once a second; the light show plays only on a tap and on the hour. Always-on shows only dim outlines of the inserts and the flippers on black.

Make it yours

• Hour marks: lamp inserts, Roman or Arabic numerals.
• Seconds ball: on or off.
• Three complications.
