For a second there I thought you actually accessed the bios on the watch and it looked like that haha.
Awesome!

If you did, it would probably be in mandarin. At least thatβs what happened when my Android tablet went to shit.
ARM devices kinda dont have a bios, so sadly this wouldnt be possible :(
It's more of a WRIST device I'd say
Heh, nice one π
Could be the recovery menu.
It does say "BIOS Setup Utility" at the top tho...
I know, I meant it as if they were to access something.
And you could have BIOS-themed custom recovery.
I am sure it could be done. Just compare the usual volume button-navigated stock recovery with something like TWRP which could really be considered a small OS.

βHey, what watch is that?β

Oof. Right in the nostalgia.
Unironically I like that
While we're on the topic; any decent smart watches out there that
- aren't made by apple
- don't harvest my data
- don't stream everything I do straight to china
? I like the concept of a smart watch, but I haven't really looked into the ecosystem. Preferably one that just integrates nicely with any android phone
If you're interested in tinkering or just want a basic smartwatch, Pebble is back
Iβd heard it was coming back (sic) but Iβd not heard that it will have a 30 day battery life, wow
If you're comfortable with a bit of setup, there are open hardware options on the market. They're reasonably basic compared to a flagship but phone notifications, some health metrics and telling the time are all quite possible.
PineTime (with Infinitime firmware)
If you want to basically make it from scratch there's also the Yatchy

Amazfit with Gadgetbridge.
I bought one a couple of years ago and it works great. Gadgetbridge keeps all the smart functionality local to your phone.
I've heard good things about the Garmins as well which I think are mostly also supported in Gadgetbridge.

okay, I admit I like it
It gives information in a high contrast interface. It cares not for your opinions

Thanks I hate it
Looks neat, but I think the actual time display is way too small to be useful.
You're missing the point of the face...
But I also didn't realize it was the watch face initially, I thought it was an alternate OS.

My coworker likes it and wants to know where this can be found.
Looks like the same watch I have. Where do I get this?
Looks like it's on Facer
It sure is
Those are some nice looking arms
Did you stop to consider that they might be an amputee on the other side, and that your pluralization of the word "arm" is causing immense emotional pain and turmoil right now and that the watch face is digital and has no arms. No. You only think about yourself. /S?
Thanks. I guess...??

Wow. Didn't think I'd get nostalgia flashbacks from a watch face but here we are.
This feels like a recipe for screen burn, but I assume whatever elements the watch uses for pixels don't do that, and it's just the bad side of nostalgia making me feel that way.
If you never change what's on the screen, you'll never notice the burn-in
taps head π§
I've been using the always-on display of my OLED smartwatch 24/7 since 2022 (Samsung Watch 4 Classic). Burn-in is a non-issue. The watch face goes into AOD mode when you're not looking at it; I'm not sure which burn-in protection features are being used but they work well cause I can use the same watch face for months at a time without any signs of burn-in.
notes: Facer is a little bit of a PITA to install, follow the instructions very well.
GW4: It eats about twice as much battery as my normal faces, but I'm still lasting the day.
The text is WAY too small, but it's pretty fun.
I LOVE it!!
Now I want a smartwatch!!! Just for this...
Almost makes me want a smart watch
I really wish the Apple Watch were this customizable. This is so cool.

Advanced
What would the advanced options do?
Oh wait, settings. Then Boot would launch apps.
Probably.
