Plasma Sword

Dark starship deck plating, its seams running in rings round the dial, and two sword hilts for hands. From each emitter a blade of light: a white-hot core in a coloured glow, the long one for the minutes, the short one for the hours. Twelve slim marks of light ring the dial, with clean pale numerals at 12, 3, 6 and 9.

Tap for a surge

Tap the watch face and the minute blade surges: a flare and a shower of sparks at the emitter, a bolt of light racing up the blade, and a shock ring rolling out over the deck.

Every hour, both blades

As the hour turns, both blades surge at once.

Four blade colours

• Blue.
• Green.
• Red.
• Purple.

The colour lights the blades, the marks and the readings together.

Readings on the deck

Steps, unread notifications and battery, and the date, glowing in a lettering drawn for this face and etched into the plating. Put another app's complication there and it shows that app's icon, or its title where it sends no icon.

Easy on the battery

The hands move once a minute and the seconds needle once a second; the surges play only on a tap and on the hour. Always-on shows the hands as thin lines of light, the marks and the date, dim on black.

Make it yours
