Gold Scorpion

A men's jewellery dial in polished black onyx with a fine sunray sheen. A sculpted gold scorpion lies across it, its back plates set with rows of black diamonds, its great claws reaching round the left rim and its segmented tail arching up the right side and over the top to a ruby stinger above 12. Between claw and tail the time stands in big polished gold figures.

The stinger flashes

On every hour, and whenever you tap the watch face, a glint of light runs up the tail segment by segment to the stinger, the stone flashes and the black diamonds on the scorpion's back sparkle. The scorpion itself stays still.

Three gold hexagon plates

Between the scorpion's legs, three gold hexagon plates with black centres: a widget of your choice (steps by default), your heart rate with a small gold heart, and the weather now with its icon and temperature. Under the time, the day and date in spaced gold capitals.

Three metals, three stones

• Metal: yellow gold, rose gold or black gold - the scorpion, the figures, the plates and the readings.
• Stinger: ruby, emerald or sapphire.

The black diamonds always stay black.

Readings

Put another app's complication in the left plate and it shows that app's icon, or its title where it sends no icon. The weather comes from your watch's weather service; if it shows "--", open the Weather app on your watch once.

Easy on the battery

Nothing moves at rest: the glint plays only on a tap and on the hour. Always-on shows the time as thin gold outlines, the date and the stinger's stone as a tiny dot, dim on black.
