This watchface has been updated for SDK 2! You can direct-download it here: https://apps.getpebble.com/applications/52b341bd05c046d2e0000119


After tinkering around for a while, I'm finally releasing the first version of my Sliders Timer watch face.

Do you remember the TV show Sliders? This one's for you. Modeled after the iconic timer cooked up in Quinn Mallory's basement, this watch face is a faithful recreation of the show's recognizable device. Of course, instead of counting down to when the next wormhole opens, this watch face shows the current time.

Here's what it does so far:

-Migrated to SDK 2

Planned:

This functionality was dropped just to get the basic watch going again, but I plan to re-introduce these features:

-Abbreviated GEnSEr sequence upon watch face startup.
-Greek labels (DELTA, TAU, ZETA) with rotating animated light pattern.

Planned feature updates:

-Animating the two status bars on the right
-Animating the 00:00:00 'chaser' sequence that popped up after the GEnSEr boot, double-flash of the : between digits every second.



Please note I haven't seriously coded in about 10-years, so not only is this watch face likely inefficient but I'll be the first to admit it needs work. I've ran this face for a week and I know it does suck some battery, but I'm getting 5-days. This is partly due to the animations and boot up initialization animation. I know some people release 'lighter' versions, but I will not be doing this. Improvements will actually ADD elements that will require more redrawing, but it will also make this more accurate.

Feel free to ask any questions or comment. I hope you enjoy the watch face!

    Love this, thanks. Sliders is one of my favourite shows. Even if it went downhill at the end.

    Unfortunately I have not yet updated the watch face for the 2.0 SDK. I'm thinking I may try to do that though soon.
