Hi , just curious on wether there is a chance of screen burn on some of the cool clocks ? I love the wave clock but don't want to burn in the image. Am I just a worry wart?

I'm pretty sure there's no chance of it - the LCD actually changes polarity a few times a second (you'll see mention of Ghosting in some threads here from when it pauses sometimes), and the change stops any kind of burn-in.

... but I've been doing all sorts with these watches for over a year while developing and I've never seen permanent damage

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
