Black background, red minutes, 12/24H mode.

Displays :
- batterie percent and a progress bar in red on top
- steps, step goal and a progress bar in white on bottom
- bluetooth status
- sleep mode status
- distance
- calories

Doesn't displays seconds because with the low power mode I prefer not.

The new design with the small battery arc has a little design flaw - in 24h mode, the first of the 4 time digits is superimposed with the battery gauge. E.g. 08:35 the 0 collides with the battery gauge.

Personally I preferred the previous approach with two big arcs ... Your new method of drawing arcs is more beautiful though for the big arc - maybe consider reverting to your old double gauge with the new arc drawing method ...

Yes I saw it yesterday evening when hour switch to 20 :)
I'm such a n00b ...

I'd like to keep the two arcs like before but this new drawing method fills the whole screen with circles and I haven't find a way to draw only half circle.
Perhaps I have to use fillCircle for one and drawCircle for the other one.

This is the better watch faces i have found, but i'd like more color in the screen ;)

Just updated to 1.4 (see 1st post for details)

This is definitely my favourite watch face. Just updated to 1.4. I'm glad you went back to the old design of two arcs. This layout is nicer looking.

However, just a small criticism. I'm not a fan of always showing 2 digits for hour in 12H mode. It's not the proper way to display the hours. The 12H clock does not normally display a 0 before single digit hours. For example, 4 pm should read 4:00pm, not 04:00pm.

Ok, I'll change it, sorry, I thought it was smarter.
In France we are most in 24H mode ;)

My bluetooth icon isn't displayed but I don't think it's related to the watchface, does it work for you ?

Yes, my bluetooth icon is displayed.

Thanks again for all your work on this watch face. It is the only one that I use!

Ok so it's due to my iOS 8.3 update I guess.

Upgrade to 1.5, you'll have only one digit for hours ;)

Excellent. Can you update your Carbon watch face with the single digit for hours too? How about adding percentage to steps goal to that one too.

Love your stuff.

Yes I'll do improvements for the carbon too
