Watch Face Wednesday

LED watchfaces have been done before, but I don't think I've seen one done this well.

For this #HuatchfaceWednesday (and actually a few days now), I'm wearing the aptly-named Real LED Watchface by @marcotronic . What sets this face apart is its realistic lighting and shadow effects. The LEDs aren't just flat glowing circles - they both cast light and block light. The result is pretty impressive.

It's currently a bit light (or completely absent) on customization, but the developer says new ambient mode and color options will be arriving within the next week or so.

Gotta admit,with the Gear S2,I'm missing out on a lot of really cool watch face options,especially so with this one.............

Looking forward to this,unless Samsung does the unthinkable & allow Android Wear apps on their Tizen-Powered Gear S2:

I'd trade-in my Gear S2 tomorrow if it (LG Urbane2 LTE) were available.
The U/I on the Tizen is better,IMHO,but,the Android Wear compatibility & ecosystem barely trumps Tizen's advantages.
Still got the Gear2 (who doesn't want an I-R Blaster & camera with their watch,or,am I just crazy?) ,so,losing the S2 won't be too bad.

You may not know this about me, but I have a little bit of a watch face problem...

I've collected so many faces that I can't always make up my mind on what to wear each day. Fortunately, +Sean Grondin has a solution - and I'm happy to highlight it for this #HuatchfaceWednesday.

His SG-R3PL1C4N7 Super Replica +WatchMaker face is actually 5 7 faces in one. It's customizable with 36 color options, 7 ambient mode color options, and 8 texture options. And, as an added bonus, it even has an option to select a random face (or color, or texture) each time the watch wakes from sleep!

This is one face that will never get old.

This is the Sauer Iguana Diver Watch Face by +Fernando Venturim.

While my pictures don't really do it justice, this face forgoes a lot of traditional smart features in favor of a detailed and realistic appearance. You can tell a lot of care went into making everything look just right, and the shadow effects really lend this face a powerful sense of depth. And it's topped off with an attractive and effect ambient mode which simulates how a real watch's face might glow in the dark. (It also comes with a rather large bezel; I'm not a fan of bezels in general, but the developer quickly added a tap action for toggling the bezel at my request. I love supporting responsive devs!)

Happy #HuatchfaceWednesday!

Today's face is called Laconic.

It includes a cool and unique display format that uses a domino-inspired theme for the hour display, with the minutes displayed above the seconds on the right-hand side (first image). Laconic also offers the option of a more traditional number-based display (second image). Both use the same highly-legible ambient display (third image). All three displays are great for quickly checking the time at a glance, and the high-contrast design looks awesome on the Huawei Watch's AMOLED screen.
