Day Shift
In developmentWear OS 4, 5 and 6 · round displays
Rei is off the clock. Same rooftop as Night Shift, same parapet, same skyline, but twelve hours the other way round. Night Shift is a courier working through the dark. Day Shift is the same person living through a day.
A new moment almost every hour
Above: the face at every hour of the day. Twenty-three full-colour poses across twenty-four hours. Coffee at eight, a parcel at eleven, lunch at noon, a chat at four, a book before bed. Look at your wrist and you can tell roughly what time it is before you read the numbers.
A sun on an arc
Twelve sky paintings with the sun travelling across them blend smoothly into one another, so the light at 18:20 is different from the light at 18:00.
It never goes fully dark
The numerals are dark ink on a light sky, so even the 03:00 sky is a pale, moonlit blue-grey. Every numeral colour was checked against every sky for readability before the face was built.
Everything else
- numerals in Ink, Rust or Pine; date on or off
- subtle parallax as you turn your wrist
- always-on mode: a thin outline of Rei and the rooftop on black
- a quieter face than Night Shift: no battery gauge or notification light
Not on Google Play yet
Day Shift is still being built and tested on real watches. It will be sold on Google Play for €1 plus VAT once it has passed that testing. Questions in the meantime: paphitisbiz@gmail.com.
Original work
Rei, the rooftop and every element of this face were drawn for it. No existing character, series or studio is referenced or reused.
