A classic analog watch face for people who live by the sea: the real moon phase at 12, a tide subdial at 6, sunrise and sunset at 9 and the date at 3.
- Moon aperture: the shadow of the current phase is drawn over a full moon, with WAXING or WANING and the lit percent below it (FULL MOON and NEW MOON on those days).
- Tide subdial: a brass hand shows the hours since high water, and the line below shows the time of the next high water (HW 11:58).
- Sunrise and sunset window with small sun arrows.
- Date window at 3 o'clock.
- Midnight blue or black sunray dial, polished silver or gold hands, seconds hand on or off, 12 or 24 hour times.
- Depth you can see: recessed moon aperture and subdial, applied faceted batons, faceted dauphine hands with soft shadows and a faint glass reflection.
- Always-on mode: thin hour and minute hands and slim indices on black.
- Made for AMOLED screens.
How the tide works: set the high water time of your port on full and new moon days (in tide tables often called HWF&C, from 0:00 to 12:15 in 15 minute steps). The face then follows the moon and estimates high water for every day. Until you set it, the subdial reads SET HW TIME.
Honest limits: the tide is an estimate from the moon for ports with two tides a day. Wind, air pressure and local geography can shift the real tide by an hour or more. Do not use it for navigation, check the official tide table. Sunrise and sunset need your location once (start any GPS activity); until then they show "--:--".
7-day free trial, then a one-time unlock code at dialforge.dev (no subscription).
Settings: on the watch (hold MENU, then Watch face, then Customize) or in the Connect IQ app.
