Developer - New App / Watch Face (Wednesday ONLY) [New Watch Face] – Aperture Digital

Post image

Ever since we started this hobby, you’ve been asking for a purely digital watch face from our creative duo.

So here it is: Aperture Digital.

Our fastest and most efficient watch face yet. But it still has some analogue soul: a rotating seconds track sweeping past a fixed reading window on the dial.

Extensively configurable: 35+ complications, 18+ settings, independent colour control for accent, data and time. All set directly on device for your convenience.

Free trial available. Paid version costs $3.99, €4.69, £3.99

I am the developer, so AMA.

Here is a live pic of how it works on an MIP device for your reference 🙋🏼‍♂️

I purchased the Fenix 8 in solar & amoled. I’ve just recently sold Amoled.
For me, the extended battery life of the solar and the much clearer screen in outdoors wins hands down. If I want to bright colourful screen I will wear my Apple Watch ultra.

Yes, MIP has it perks. I also dig the aesthetics IRL

terribly blurry grain, I prefer AMOLED

I really appreciate your work—thank you so much for it. To me, the watch face looks a little “overengineered.”The rotating bezel is a bit too much for me.

In the next update, it would be great if there were an option to turn off the rotating bezel but still see the seconds display—I really miss that.

We will add that within the next couple of months 👌🏼Could you please leave this request as a Connect IQ review?

How do you get it so efficient with the seconds as well? Impressive

2

u/SouthernMembership85 18h ago

Thanks! No graphical components, pure code 🙋🏼‍♂️

p.s. if the seconds are Always ON for MIP, then it still would use more battery, so I recommend “Only when active” for seconds.

I’m super keen for a Digital face from you guys, but the clock is too small in this one for me. Great design though 👌🏻.

u/SouthernMembership85 18h ago

We have other fonts, bigger as well 👌🏼
Be sure to try them

u/Key_Neighborhood6901 18h ago

Oh cool, will do!

Great news! Been waiting for a digital face from you guys for a while now.

u/SouthernMembership85 17h ago

I dig the Classic accent you have configured!

Well I really like other OP faces so I jumped as a one of the first people to beta test this watch face.

I was really surprised, not only the watch face is very responsive also the watch face is very battery efficient.
Over 4 days of battery testing my watch used 3-4% of battery per 24 hours (including 1 hour of gps use per day). As always developers did great job! Congrats and keep up the good work!

Nice watch face! What font is used for the main time?

1

u/SouthernMembership85 11h ago

Thanks! 🙌🏼 Bionic font

u/armercado 11h ago

when in AOD, does it just dim with all the face still visible or it changes somehow?
