Absolutely a nice watch face, can't wait to you have developed a normal 12 hours UTC face. A old man as me have trouble to read the time when handstyle is 24 hours and text is so small!
Just great, keep working on these awesome watch face.
Hi,
thanks for your feedback!
I'll have to check if I can improve the readability a bit.
I'm using the SuLu-24 watch, congrats on your work, I'd really like to see it evolving.
Is the background static? Over the last days, it does not seem to follow the changes in Sunset/Sunrise time.
Hi,
the background is only static if you do not have any last known GPS data stored on your watch. In this case the background is a default horizon and there is no digital time for sunrise and sunset.
If you have a last known GPS postion stored on your watch the background is dynamic. It goes with the digital sunrise/sunset times, shown on the watch. See also my pictures in the App description.
The change of sunset/sunrise times from one day to the next day typically varies only in the range of seconds to few minutes (depending on your location).
So you might not see a real difference of the background picture from one day to the next day. But you will see the difference during a week.
Please feel free to contact me again, if you have any further questions.
I can't work out how to switch between the 24 hr single hand and the two hand version of the sulu?
Tried changing to 24hr on the watch etc.....
Hi,
you just have to select the "Design" field. Then there are two options, "single hand design" or "dual hand design"
You can have the single- or dual hand design independent from 12hour or 24hour watch face.
Hope this does answer your question. If not, just contact me again.
Thank you for the update! I was actually talking about the "between 18.00 and 19.00" bug. On my F3 it was stuck at 18:00. Are you considering a red version, to match F3 colors? Or even more options?

Sorry about the bug!
I was not aware of it until Wednesday. So I fixed it immediately :-)
About more options: yes, one thing that I want to release quite soon is an option to set different colors styles for the twin time zones. With that you can give new accent colors to this watch face, according to you preference.
What exactly do you mean by red version?
Do you mean, to use red numbers instead of the green numbers? Or do you mean a full red style watch face (e.g. day light in red ...)
You are welcome to post your ideas here. I will check if I can implement your requests.
I can not promise to implement everything, since with this watch face I have to balance now between new features and resources.
The source code became quite complex in the meantime :-)
Actually, I was thinking of the following:
# change green for red on numbers and markers, or even add support for user selected color. Red will match the colors of the F3, other colors can play well with different straps.
# remove the frame from the date, not really needed.
# provide the option to hide the sunset/sunrise times and icons. They don't change throughout the day, occasionally the don't change everyday, and I think that the big hand and the animated background are enough to provide this kind of information.
# make the background colors lighter or allow them to be defined by the user. A white background for 'day' and a 'light grey' for night should make the watch face easier to read and would provide more contrast for the small minute marker. This of course means that the color of the hour hand has to change, as it would be difficult to see on top of a white background.
# Is it possible to change the outer color or stroke of the hour hand to a 'dark grey' or 'light grey'? From this forum I realised that the F3 has a very limited color palette, but it could (possibly) work out as some kind of antialiasing.
Thank you for listening, I hope that I all these can fit in your time and the limited amount of space that F3 allows for code :)
Thanks for your ideas. If I did implement all those features as options in the current design, it would be just to much with the current source code. Nevertheless it would be quite easy to create a design variant with your requests. So if you are interested to have a customized design variant from the SuLu-24, I would suggest that you contact me via the "contact developer" feature in the App Store sending me your email address. Then we could specify the details of the design. I can also explain some more details why certain ideas from you do not really work in the current design.

Thanks yes it did.
Is it possible to turn off the digital sunrise and sunset on the screen?
