ClockTwo

11

Last week's Rotar Revolving Watch post featuring an unconventional display evoked an interesting comment from Luke, who mused on watch design paths not taken.

He followed this up with an email about various apps available to create watch faces for Android watches.

I emailed him back as follows: "The penny just dropped: Apple could create a virtual Rotar-like face for its Watch without breaking a sweat."

That got me thinking about the wonderful QLOCKTWO.

I had my Crack Research Team©®™ take a deep dive and see if there might be a watch version: it turns out there is:

111111

That's the good news.

The bad news: it costs $800-$1,000.

I told my team to keep on digging.

After a long night of repeated dead ends they brought back great news: there's an Apple Watch app that turns your Ultra into a QLOCKTWO wristwatch for $14.95!

Cheap at twice the price.

I paid my money and then began a long, frustrating, and difficult quest — remember, I invented the word "TechnoDolt©®™ — which took some 10 hours with many dead ends and FAILs before I was able to successfully add the QLOCKTWO face to my Apple Watch.

Up top, my proof.

IMHO it looks a lot better on the Apple Watch ULTRA than the native high-priced version pictured above.

You can too!

$14.95.

Note: you also need to add the Clockology app to both your iPhone and Apple Watch before beginning your install.

Thanks for the review of my watch face inspired by Qclock2. It took many hours of thought but I got there in the end. It’s a best seller.

Interesting that the screenshots above are actually slightly different watches. Notice the differences in the top row.

I always assumed the watch only works in 15-minute increments, but looking at the available characters, it actually works in five-minute increments.
It can say anything from "five past" or "ten past" or "twenty to" or "twenty five to," etc.
