Watch Faces

Watch Faces for SmartWatches in hope of a happy and colorful future for kids who are currently locked down for a greater good.

History

Its 2021. Pandemics still holding us back and... My 5 years old kid asked me for a Ben10 watch. For those who are not familiar with it Ben10 is a cartoon about Ben, a 10 years old boy, who finds a watch that can turn him into aliens. The watch is called Omnitrix.

Turns out that the branded Omnitrix watch is a stupid toy made out of cheap plastic which makes some really annoying noises and costs about 30€. I refuse to support that kind o industry. plastic toy Today's smartwatches costs about the same and are way more interesting than those noisy plastic crap, so... Why not make my kid a proper Omnitrix?

Looking online I found the Haylou Solar HL05 SmartWatch. It is round as the omnitrix, has a clean design, is IP68 rated (Waterproof to 1.5m for at most 30 minutes) and the battery lasts for 30 days in one charge. smartwatch There is also a tool to create watchfaces for it (https://hswt.tilda.ws/) - the perfect candidate, with plenty colorful afordable wristbands available. wristbands Even if it breaks shortly it will still deliver more that the plastic contender will ever be able to.

And since I am doing it, why not publish it? That way I might even make some other kids happy as well. :-)

Specs and Flavours

Trying to get most of my target audience happy I designed 5 watchface flavours. Each one matches the cartoon somehow. Apart from the cartoonish design, they all have the following specs:

  • All flavours have both analog and digital displays with a discreet hour, minute and second hands on the outer rings.

  • The background goes red when battery is about to end - just like it happens with the Omnitrix runs out op power and an alien transformation is about to end.

  • Weekdays and weekends have different colors.

  • Months have colors according to season. (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter)

I added two variants for each flavour so that North and South Hemisphere months and color codes properly match.

I have prepared the artwork in high resolution (2048x2048 images) and tuned it for the chosen watch (240x240). But here I also added the full resolution images ins case someone wants to port it to some other watchwatch.
