Sword in Stone

An ancient mossy boulder deep in the forest, seen from above, with the hours carved into its granite. A longsword tells the minutes and a dagger the hours, both casting their shadows on the stone.

The legend wakes

Tap the watch face, or wait for the hour: a shaft of golden light falls on the stone from above, the carved marks glow gold one by one round the dial, and motes of light rise and drift through the beam before it fades.

Carved by hand

The numerals, the hour marks, the date and your readings are chiselled into the rock - a dark groove with a light lower lip - on patches cleared of lichen so they stay readable.

Three lights

• Morning: a fresh green forest.
• Dusk: warm amber.
• Moonlit: cool blue.

Readings in the stone

Steps, unread notifications and battery, carved round the centre. 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 second at most; the light plays only on a tap and on the hour. Always-on shows the numerals as pale outlines and the blades as outlines, dim on black.

Make it yours

• Light: morning, dusk or moonlit.
• Seconds hand on or off.
• Three complications.
