About

Watch Face Format · Declarative XML

This one is not a product and was never going to be. I wanted the red-lit tachometer from a Porsche instrument cluster on my watch, so I built it.

The interesting part is that it contains no application code. Watch Face Format v2 is declarative — the entire face is an XML document and a set of generated PNGs, and Wear OS draws it without ever running code of mine. The sweep needle can be pointed at heart rate, step goal, battery, or plain seconds, and there are four complication slots.

It is sideload-only and will stay that way. I am including it here because it is a good example of picking the boring, declarative option and getting a better result for it.
