OFFSET Misprint Watch Face

crosswind

About this app

OFFSET is a digital watch face built on one idea: a sheet of ivory paper run through a press twice, with the second ink plate seven pixels out of register. That mistake is the whole design.

The hours and the minutes stack in two left-aligned rows, against a margin rule and a diagonal paper crease, so it reads like a printed poster rather than a clock. A red ghost sits behind the dark ink, exactly 7 left and 7 down. A printer's registration mark signs the corner.

Always-on display: the paper goes away completely. The numerals thin out to outlines in paper white on black, the red plate and the complications drop out, and what is left is the margin, the date and the time.

- Two complication slots: date and battery by default, both replaceable.
- Drawn entirely in vector shapes and text. No bitmaps, so it costs almost nothing in memory and stays sharp on every screen size.
- Built with the Watch Face Format; needs Wear OS 4 or newer.

Part of a three-face set that shares one grid, one type scale and one registration mark: OFFSET (print), DATUM (drafting) and PLATEN (machined steel).

This design is original. It does not copy, reference or imitate the name, logo or styling of any watch manufacturer.

What’s new

1.0.1: complications can now be changed from the watch face editor (long-press the face, tap the edit button). Store description corrected to match the default complications.
