Zen Garden

A Japanese dry garden seen from above, in soft morning light: pale sand raked in rings, twelve natural stones, cushions of moss. The hands of your clock turn in the middle of the garden, calm and unhurried.

A classic analog face

• Twelve stones mark the hours, the four at 12, 3, 6 and 9 larger and set on moss; add small gilded numerals to the stones if you like.
• Slim black-lacquered hands, and a thin vermilion seconds hand.
• The date is carved into a slate slab at the top of the garden.

A garden that breathes

• Every hour a wooden rake sweeps once round the garden and leaves a new pattern behind it: plain rings, then gentle waves, in turn.
• Every minute the shadow of a cloud drifts slowly across the sand.
• Tap the garden and a ginkgo leaf floats down, rests on the sand, and is carried away by the breeze.
• In always-on mode the face turns dark and quiet: the stones, the hands, the date, your steps and your battery, to save power.

Your information on the stepping stones

Your steps, unread notifications and battery are carved into three slate stepping stones at the foot of the garden.

Make it yours

• Hour marks: the stones alone, or stones with gilded numerals.
• Clouds and Seconds hand: on by default; switch them off to save battery.
• Three complications on the stepping stones: steps, unread notifications and battery by default. Choose other data for any of them in the watch face editor.

To customize, touch and hold the watch face, then tap Customize.
