Radar Scope

The round scope of an old military radar console, its heavy bolted bezel round the edge of your watch. Glowing phosphor range rings and bearing ticks light the dark glass, and the sweep turns round it once a minute, a fading afterglow trailing behind it. The time glows big in the middle of the scope.

Contacts on the scope

A few contacts wait out on the scope. As the sweep passes over each one it flares up bright, then fades back to a faint trace until the next turn.

Alert!

Tap the watch face - and every hour on the hour - and the scope sounds an alert: the glass flashes, rings pulse out from the centre and a fast unknown contact streaks across the screen, leaving its trail behind it.

Your readings as contacts

Steps, unread notifications and battery sit on the scope as labelled contacts at ten, two and six o'clock, each a blip with its value beside it. Put another app's complication there and it shows that app's icon, or its title where it sends no icon.

Three phosphors

• Green, the classic scope.
• Amber.
• Blue.

Easy on the battery

The sweep moves once a second; the alert plays only on a tap and on the hour. Always-on shows only the time and the scope's outer ring, dim on black.

Make it yours

• Phosphor: green, amber or blue.

• 12- or 24-hour time, as your watch is set.
