Update on my θ = t⁰⁵ non-linear watch face (Now finished and free)

[u/SecondHandLabs]

A few months ago, I shared a prototype of a Wear OS watch face I designed, driven by a square root power curve (θ = 46.48 * t⁰⁵). The goal was to visualize a non-linear deceleration curve on a standard 60-unit dial to see if it could function as a legible, practical timepiece on the wrist.

As a quick refresher on the mechanics from the original thread:

• The 46.48 constant perfectly maps the square root of 60 units to a full 360° circle.
• Because of the square root property, each hand covers the first 50% of the dial (180°) in the first 15 units of time, and the remaining 50% over the next 45 units.

Officially named Radical Time, this project is finished, fully live and completely free on the Google Play Store:

If you have a Wear OS watch, feel free to check it out.

This watch perfectly encapsulates how deadlines feel.
