Skywritten: Living Watch Face

Watch the hour take flight.

Not a video: these starlings are written in code. Every bird in the numbers flies live to its own point as the time changes.

A flock of starlings circles the dial while other birds settle into the shapes of hours above minutes. At a minute change, the numerals that change scatter and gather again over about two seconds. Wrist tilt leans the flock against the horizon.

CHOOSE YOUR SKY
Hold the selected face and choose Customize or Edit:
• Sky: Follow the clock changes through dawn, day, dusk and night on a fixed clock schedule. Or keep the Dawn, Day, Dusk or Night look at any hour.
• Hours: Follow the watch uses your watch’s 12-hour or 24-hour setting. Or choose 12-hour, “12-hour, 07” with a leading zero, or 24-hour.
• Show date: show or hide the weekday and day above the reeds.

The flock and clouds keep moving with every sky choice. Night includes stars and a moon phase supplied by the watch; the moon artwork uses a northern-hemisphere orientation. The chosen sky is a visual style, so read the numerals for the time.

A one-digit hour sits in the middle, above the minutes. There is no AM/PM marker and there are no complication slots.

STILL BIRDS, ALWAYS ON
Always-on mode keeps only the settled time birds, dim and still on black. The circling flock, sky and date disappear. There is no wing-beat or wrist response in this view.

OPTIONAL PHONE SETUP GUIDE
Skywritten · Setup includes a recorded preview with Follow the clock sky, reading and control guidance, and support. The preview shows example time. Pause and Less motion affect that phone preview only; choosing a fixed watch sky does not pause the birds.

Installing the guide does not install or select the watch face. After a separate watch installation, hold the current face, choose Add watch face, then Skywritten. Menu names vary by watch. No Pixelpond account or full Pixelpond app is needed; the watch face works independently.

REQUIREMENTS
• Watch face: Wear OS 5 or later on a compatible watch.
• Optional phone guide: Android 7.0 or later.
• Wrist response and always-on display depend on your watch and its settings.
