Watchface Ideas

Good point. That would work perfectly if I could use my code snippet, or save it as a jpg, in place of the sunset.

Just a note that a slidey clock got mentioned in https://forum.espruino.com/comments/1632­8196/ and it's now available at https://banglejs.com/apps/?id=slopeclock­

@Gordon, I saw that! It's awesome to see more and more getting coded. I'm excited to see the next 2 years of the Bangle!

I finally have the code for my Existentialist's Watch. The watchface shows the word "Now" in the center of the screen. If you find a need for the terrestrial time, press the button and the current time will display for five seconds, then revert back to "Now".

// Display the "Now" message on the Bangle.js 2 watch
function showNow() {
  g.clear();
  g.setFontAlign(0, 0);
  g.setFont("Vector", 48);
  g.drawString("Now", g.getWidth() / 2, g.getHeight() / 2);
  return true;
}

// Display the current time on the Bangle.js 2 watch
function showTime() {
  // Get the current time
  var date = new Date();
  var hours = date.getHours();
  var minutes = date.getMinutes();


  // Format the time as a string
  var timeString = hours.toString().padStart(2, "0") + ":" +
                   minutes.toString().padStart(2, "0") + ":" +;

  // Display the time on the screen
  g.clear();
  g.setFontAlign(0, 0);
  g.setFont("Vector", 42);
  g.drawString(timeString, g.getWidth() / 2, g.getHeight() / 2);

  // Revert to the "Now" display after 5 seconds
  setTimeout(showNow, 5000);
}

// Set up a button listener to display the time
setWatch(showTime, BTN1, { repeat: true });

// Display the "Now" message on start-up
showNow();

It's simplistic, no widgets and such, but I'm sure somebody will jazz it up if they want.
This is the main reason I bought the Bangle.js 2. So happy now.

Here it is.
