Ecliptic Zodiac Watch Face

BasilBase

About this app

Your constellation. The real one, in the real sky, turning all night.

Ecliptic is a star map for your wrist. The stars are where they actually
are — real catalogue positions, with the brighter ones drawn brighter — and
the whole sky turns about the centre of the dial once a day, exactly as it
does overhead.

It works the moment you install it. Nothing to set up, no complications to
configure, no companion app.


♌ YOUR SIGN, NOT THE CALENDAR'S

Most zodiac watch faces show whichever sign the current month falls in. So
if you are a Leo, you wear somebody else's constellation for eleven months
of the year.

Ecliptic lets you pin yours.

● Auto — follows the date, changing sign as the season turns
● Or choose one of the twelve and keep it all year

♈ Aries · ♉ Taurus · ♊ Gemini · ♋ Cancer
♌ Leo · ♍ Virgo · ♎ Libra · ♏ Scorpio
♐ Sagittarius · ♑ Capricorn · ♒ Aquarius · ♓ Pisces


✦ A REAL SKY, NOT A PICTURE OF ONE

● Every star sits at its true right ascension and declination
● Dot size follows real brightness — Antares and Spica outshine their
neighbours, the way they do in the sky
● The field turns 360° a day, plus the four minutes a day the stars gain
on the clock through the year
● Constellation lines follow the shapes on an actual star chart

The sky turns because the maths says where the stars are, not because a
video is playing.


🌙 A MOON WITH A SURFACE

● The seas are real — Imbrium, Serenitatis, Tranquillitatis, Crisium,
each at its true place on the lunar globe
● Craters, and the bright rays that fan out from Tycho at full moon
● Sixteen phases, with a soft terminator instead of a cut edge


🎨 TEN PALETTES

Midnight · Ice · Aurora · Sea · Violet
Rose · Ember · Gold · Copper · Mono

Each is a full five-colour scheme, not an accent swap: the constellation,
the stars, the readouts and the glow around the rim all re-tune together.
Thirteen constellations × ten palettes = 130 complete looks.

🌡️ ABOUT THE TEMPERATURE

Wear OS does not give watch faces location access by default, so the
temperature reads -- until you allow it. It takes one tap, once:

Settings › Security and privacy › Permission manager › Location ›
Watch faces › Allow while using the app

Every other reading on the face works without it.


📱 COMPATIBILITY

Wear OS 5 and above (API 34+). Works on Galaxy Watch 4 through 8, Pixel
Watch, and other Wear OS 5 devices. Tested on Galaxy Watch6.


📌 HOW TO INSTALL

1. Make sure your watch is connected to your phone.
2. Buy here, then open the Play Store on your WATCH and install from your
library — or tap "Install on more devices" and pick your watch.
3. Long-press your current watch face, scroll to Ecliptic, and select it.
4. Long-press again and tap Customize to choose your constellation,
palette, seconds and 12/24 hour setting.

The phone entry is a placeholder that makes the watch face easier to find
and install. The face itself runs entirely on the watch.

If a payment prompt appears twice, you are only charged once — wait a few
minutes or restart the watch. That is a Play Store sync delay, not a
problem with the watch face.
