At midnight on Halloween an old graveyard lies under a full moon. Fog rolls between leaning headstones, dead trees claw at the sky, a ruined chapel stands in the distance, and in the middle a tall Celtic stone cross rises from its plinth, a jack-o'-lantern glowing at its foot.
Cross, moss numerals, or both
- The stone ring of the cross is the clock: twelve carved notches for the hours and thin iron hands turning where its arms meet.
- The time is carved into the plinth and filled with glowing moss, with the day and date beneath; the hour follows your watch's 12- or 24-hour setting.
- By default you get both at once.
Your information is carved in stone
Your steps, unread notifications and battery are carved like epitaphs on the three small headstones in front.
What moves
- Each minute the ground fog drifts, the jack-o'-lantern gutters and the minute hand jolts on.
- On the hour a skeletal hand bursts out of the soil, flexes its fingers and sinks back, a ghost rises from behind the cross and the ring glows.
- Tap the jack-o'-lantern and soul-lights fly out of it. Tap the ground by the plinth and the hand reaches out.
- On Halloween night, from 6 pm to 6 am, the hand rises every quarter hour, and from midnight to one the fog and the fire burn blood-red.
- In always-on mode the graveyard turns dark under a dim moon; only the cross's ring and hands or the numerals, the date, your steps and your battery stay lit, to save power.
Make it yours
- Time: cross and numerals, cross only, or moss numerals only.
- Glow: moss green, spirit blue, ember orange or blood red, for the numerals, the cross's glow and the souls.
- Souls on waking: soul-lights fly out of the pumpkin each time your watch wakes (off by default).
- Three complications on the headstones: steps, unread notifications and battery by default. Choose other data for any of them in the watch face editor.
