A sheet of numbers, and not one of them sits still.
A refiner's terminal cut down to a watch face: seventy-odd digits floating on a dark navy ground under a fine woven screen, the date across the top, the time large on the right with the day's step count beneath it, the charge as a filling bar at the foot, and the day's steps as a ring round the rim.
Praise Kier!
THE SHEET - MACRO DATA REFINEMENT TERMINAL
Every digit drifts. A little, on its own, at its own rate and from its own starting point тАФ and because no two of them agree about any of the three, the field reads as hovering rather than as shaking. Most barely move. A few travel a fifth of a cell.
An unseen cursor crosses the sheet on a twenty-second loop, and the digits it comes near swell: four sizes, brightening as they grow, largest and brightest directly under the point. The cursor itself is never drawn. The swelling is the only thing that says where it is.
The digits are set in the terminal's own lettering тАФ squared bowls, one stroke weight, a slashed zero тАФ drawn rather than borrowed from a font, so it is crisp at every size from the smallest dial to the largest.
THE READINGS
тАв the top тАФ the weekday and the day of the month
тАв the clock тАФ the hour and the minute, hung from the right so nothing shifts as the digits turn over
тАв under it тАФ the day's steps
тАв the rim тАФ those steps against the day's goal, twelve o'clock clockwise, one full turn at the goal and no further
тАв the foot тАФ the charge, as a bar filling from the left with its own per cent set inside it, knocked out of the fill while there is fill enough to hold it and stepping aside onto the empty part when there is not
Nothing on the dial goes red, or any other colour, at any reading. The bar says what the charge is and says nothing about how it feels about it.
ALWAYS-ON
An AMOLED panel ages wherever it is lit, and a full screen of numbers is close to the worst thing a watch face can leave on one. So in always-on the ground goes, the sheet goes, the ring goes, the readings go, and the hour and minute are left alone on black in a dim ink тАФ drifting a few pixels each minute so that no pixel carries a stroke for long.
NO SETTINGS
There is one dial and one layout. Every reading on it is fixed, so there is nothing to configure and no editor to open.
Requires Wear OS 5 or newer. No permissions: the time, the date, the charge and the step count are all read by the system on the face's behalf.
A terminal of hovering numbers: the time, the day's steps and the charge left.
