Space Freighter

A battered old space freighter seen from directly above is the dial: its round saucer hull sits on the centre of the watch against the stars, two forward prongs reaching off the top, the cockpit tube off to the right, every plate greebled, scorched and weathered, and the engine slot glowing soft blue along the rear.

Jump to hyperspace

Tap the watch face - or wait for the hour - and the engines flare bright blue while the stars stretch into streaks of light all round the ship, then settle back into the starfield.

Hours in running lights

Twelve small warm running lights round the rim of the hull mark the hours. Prefer numerals? Roman or Arabic numerals stencilled on the hull in worn paint.

Hands made for the ship

Grey metal hands with riveted plates and a yellow-and-black hazard stripe at the tip, with a dark edge so they read clearly over the busy hull.

Readings on hull panels

Steps, unread notifications and battery are stencilled on lighter painted panels of the hull at 9, 3 and 6, the date on a fourth panel at 12. Put another app's complication there and it shows that app's icon; set a slot to Empty and its panel goes away.

Three hulls

• Weathered grey.
• Sand.
• Dark.

Easy on the battery

Nothing moves at rest but the hands; the jump plays only on a tap and on the hour. Always-on shows only the running lights and the outlines of the hands, dim on black.
