There's loads of great default functionality in WatchMaker, stuff that can be easily added in to your watch. Basically it works in layers, so you add a background image, and then say the hour/minute markers round the edge, then the numbers, then the hands, etc., building it up as you go. You can reorder the layers, duplicate them, delete them, etc. It's really easy to do, and very intuitive.
When you click the big plus icon to add a new layer, you get the following types...
- Text
- Curved text
- Watch background
- Shape
- Numbers
- Hour+minute markers
- Freeform markers
- Watch hands
- Image
- Animated GIF
- Date
- Time
- Weather
- Moon phase
- Battery
- Compass
- Wifi signal
- Calendar
- Countdown
- Stopwatch
- Expression
They are all very customisable, with the ability to reference many different tags. For example, just for time you've got so many options (using 18:49 as the example time)...
- {dh} - Hour in the day (1-12) - 6
- {dh11} - Hour in the day (0-11) - 6
- {dh24} - Hour in the day (1-24) - 18
- {dh23} - Hour in the day (0-23) - 18
- {dht} - Hour in day text (1-12) - six
- {dh24t} - Hour in day text (1-24) - eighteen
- {dhz} - Hour in day (1-12) (with leading zero) - 06
- {dh11z} - Hour in day (0-11) (with leading zero) - 06
- {dh24z} - Hour in day (1-24) (with leading zero) - 18
- {dh23z} - Hour in day (0-23) (with leading zero) - 18
- and 29 other tags! Just for time!!
As you can see, there are just so many options, you can choose whatever you want.
And if you can't find what you're after, check out the Feature Requests - this allows you to search for features that others have requested, and vote on the ones you like, as well as adding your own, for others to vote on. You can vote on as many as you want, so please feel free to vote on all the stuff that I want :)
Next I want to talk about the conditionality that is simple and yet so powerful.
