Back to Future Time Circuits

Where you're going, you don't need hands.

Three glowing readouts on a brushed steel dashboard, straight off the console of the most famous time machine ever built — and now on your wrist, counting the one day you're actually living in.

RED — DESTINATION TIME
Your steps, and how close you are to your daily goal.

GREEN — PRESENT TIME
The month, the day, the hour and the minute. Big, bright, and readable in a glance.

AMBER — LAST TIME DEPARTED
Your heart rate, live, and the charge you have left.

THREE PANELS, ONE DIAL

Choose the finish. Brushed steel is the console as it was built. Dark grey drops it back a stop. Black takes the plate away altogether and leaves the readouts hanging in the dark — the dashboard at night, lit by nothing but its own segments.

On an OLED screen that black is real black: those pixels are switched off rather than painted, which is easier on the battery as well as on the eye in a dark room.

Press and hold the watch face, tap Customize, then turn the crown. Brushed steel is the default, so the dial you installed is the dial you keep until you decide otherwise.

THE DETAIL YOU FEEL BEFORE YOU SEE IT

Look closely at the digits. Behind every lit number sits the faint ghost of the segments that aren't lit — the same shadow that lives on real hardware, and the reason this reads as a genuine display rather than a font pretending to be one.

Every bar is cut at an angle at both ends, leaving the wedge-shaped gaps a real seven-segment display has at the corners of every digit. The cells were measured off the dashboard itself, not eyeballed, so the lit numbers land exactly where the unlit ones are painted.

It's the kind of thing you shouldn't notice — and can't stop noticing once you have.

MADE FOR YOUR WATCH, NOT JUST ANY WATCH

Every readout is drawn to your screen's own size, so the digits are crisp on a small watch and on a large one alike. Whichever you wear, it looks like it was cut for it.

GLOWS ALL DAY, GENTLY

Leave always-on enabled and the dashboard fades to a quiet green hour and minute, drifting very slightly so your display stays healthy for the long run. Raise your wrist and the whole console lights up again.

ONE PURCHASE. THAT'S ALL.

No ads. No subscription. No account. No upsell six months from now.

YOUR DATA NEVER LEAVES YOUR WATCH

Your heart rate, your steps and your battery are read on the watch and shown on the watch. Nothing is collected, nothing is stored, and nothing is sent anywhere — there's no server to send it to.

NOTHING ELSE TO SET UP

One setting, and it's the panel. No account, no pairing, no screens to work through. Install it, choose it, and the circuits light. It follows your watch's own 12- or 24-hour setting automatically.

REQUIRES

Wear OS 5 or later.

Eighty-eight miles per hour is optional.
