New clock - Not Analog

Hi all,

today I had the (in my opinion) weird idea to create an analog clock for people like me, that like the design of analog clocks but can not read analog watch faces :-P

So I created one that shows the time with digits and displays the daily steps as well as the battery level using two hands. Screenshots that I made at 16:39 with ~2600 steps and 60% battery level are attached. I'm always happy to receive ideas, improvements etc. from all of you :) You can find the PR here.

Big thanks to the multiclock face - i used a lot from the nice braun face.

Gorgeous. Having said that no idea how to see the actual time, steps or battery level.

Can you explain how to read the steps and battery level? I can't work out how it shows the values you said.

I like the fake analogue time display idea, though.

Interesting idea! Looks stylish

Follow the two diagonal red lines and you'll see the time, 16:38 and 16:39 respectively.

The rest is described in the PR.

Although, I have to admit I don't quite understand how the small hand shows the battery level if the screenshots are supposed to show 60%...

So one rotation of the hand means that I have done 10k steps. So if we have 90° we have done 2500 steps. The red hand has a bit more than 90° so we have done a bit more than 2500 steps. For battery level its the same but the value is decreasing. So if we have 180° only 50% battery are left :)

I think it would be good to write a bit a better Readme and also to make the number of steps for one rotation adjustable in the settings (currently fixed to 10k steps).

OK. Looks lovely but a bit too much for my brain to get used too :)

I added an image to the readme, not sure if this makes things easier :-P

The bat level is 100-x such that 90% is 75%. But I think its not intuitive - 270° should be 75%, 180° 50% and 90° 25%. I will change this for v1.

That's what had me confused... I expected the battery level to go down anticlockwise.

Yea I agree - already changed it :)

The power plug looks funny, I like it :)
In general, the new design looks clearer, but the original one was more stylish, IMHO.
It would be nice to somehow combine them, just thoughts.
Suggest more options :)

Thanks for your input - yea I agree the first was more stylish - but I'm currently playing around a bit with the design to be able to show more data. I think I found a solution close to the first one but still shows the temperature, lock status, date and day together with bat + steps and charging state XD

Also, I want to include a timer later that can be activated via a touch event: Touch top + 5 min. and touch bottom - 5 min, similar to the lcars clock. After activating it should hide the step counter temporarily, replace the red hand + steps icon with the timer thand + icon. When time is at 0, buzz() and go back to steps mode.

Thanks for the interesting watch (:

It would be great if the timer was connected to the clock hand. For example: if the timer is activated, then the step icon changes to a timer icon, and the red clock hand points up, with a full turn indicating the end of the timer + buzz. Like the battery level hand, it will only count down the timer, not the energy.

That sounds great - I will try to implement this timer asap :)

So I implemented a first version - the icon lower right changes and the color changes. The hand shows the minutes that are left and buzz whenever it is 0. In the image, I just set a 15 min. timer.

Also, the lower right shows always the most important data --> timer if enabled, charging if charged, weather if available and else the steps symbol to clarify the hand :)
