I've just discovered a series of watch faces that I made a few months ago, and forgot to do anything with.
These are all based on the same premise, which is that no one really needs to know the exact time - do we really need to worry about seconds? Definitely not! In fact, I argue you don't even need to know minutes, and just quarter-of-an-hour blocks is all you need.
All the watch faces show the time only, no fuss and bother, nice and simple. Each hour is represented by an image, split into quarters for each 15 mins. There is also a smaller image on the left/right to indicate am/pm.
Each of the examples below shows the time is between 10:45am and 10:59am.
Quarts Circle (download from Play store)
Quarts Square (download from Play store)
Quarts Star (download from Play store)
So relax, download one of these watch faces, and don't be hindered by the constant need to know the exact time! What time are you meeting your friend? Half past! No one meets at 1:37 precisely :)
All of these can be downloaded from the Play store (see links above).

I'm currently working on a new series of watch faces, which I'm naming "Nadir". This is my favourite series so far, and better yet, there's going to be a companion app!
"Nadir" means the lowest point or level, and that is really what I'm aiming for with this series of watch face. They are stripped back and minimalist, with a black background by default...

However, you can use the companion app to change the background colour, choosing any colour you want. It's not finished yet, but here's an early screenshot, showing the simplicity of the app...
You simply move the sliders, which updates the preview pane, and then when you're happy with the colour, click "Send to watch" to update the watch background. There's also an exit button (the "X") and an about button (the "?"), the later of which gives you a similar brief description of "Nadir" and also a button which will take you to my apps on the Play store.
This app will work specifically for this new "Nadir" series of watch faces, but I plan to create companion apps for some of my other series' in the future.
Sorry I've been quiet for a while, it's been almost 2 weeks since my last post, which was announcing my first app on the Play store. Since then, I've launched a number of new watch faces, which can be found on the Play store.
I'm currently working on a series of watch faces with use the Galligrey numerals...
As you can see, this uses a series of circles and lines to represent each number. Whilst this pattern can continue up to 59, I think it would get harder and harder to read, so the idea is to use this to display the hours only, and then find other ways to display the minutes and AM/PM.
I'm looking forward to this series going public, and I hope you are too!
