Well, it turned out demand for this watchface was much higher than I thought! I posted this on the pebble subreddit here, where I received a lot of support!

And Eric Migicovsky, Pebble’s CEO, even tweeted about it! Here.

Thanks Eric! (Note: the twitter handle he included is not mine, but it is my blog he linked to. I’m at @TristanSchorn. I probably should have tweeted it myself so I got my handle out there. I’ll start tweeting my updates from now on.)

Thank you all for your support!

Here is what I currently have:

The time is functional, and the day of the week should be as well. The weather however is currently hard coded, because I had heard javascript-including pbw’s are not able to be side loaded, and I’m going to ask some people to side load this for testing. The pbw for this is available here.

In fact, I just received a couple real life pictures from reddit user Dunnion, thanks Dunnion!

The contrast isn’t great. I’ll work on that.

Edit: Got another, from reddit user MKUltra2011. Thank you too!

I could use some help making a few design choices. Any suggestions can be delivered to any of my contact methods under the “about” link at the top of the page, or the reddit link to this post, here http://www.reddit.com/r/pebble/comments/34og1m/face_h2g2_alpha/

Weather, two potential concepts:

Changing Colours:

I’m planning on having the colour of the bar change, corresponding to the current weather. Such as, blue for raining, red for hot. I think this will provide quick and easy information to the user.

Changing Lengths:

I had considered changing the lengths of the bars, with shorter indicating colder temperatures and longer indicating warmer temperatures. I’m leaning towards not implementing this. I feel like it’s over engineering, and the colour change is more than sufficient.

I had even considered utilizing this animation for the time indicator bar It could progress from left to right as time progresses. I could even put the hour and the minutes on separate lines, with corresponding lengths for the hours and minutes. Like this, where the time reads 10:30:

General Use of Space:

I think I’m going to have this general layout, with the yellow background simply peaking through with nothing on it. This means the whole layout will be just the bars. I did end up making the yellow asymmetrical, with more poking out of the top. It felt more natural than dead centre, and is actually more similar to the layout in the movie.

Much more to come, including animations and working weather!
