Pebble Sliding Text Watchface

[zibo29]

Good morning, i've searched the english version of the sliding text watchface (that it's available on the site but in hungarian, thanks to @sz0mark ) - i've found it on an xda post from a guy named @nelsontky ([BIP][ULTIMATE GUIDE]Custom watchface, Music controls, Calls, Tasker integration)

Can somebody make a version with the time only without date and steps? or, even better, make the date and the steps visible just when you press the button? Lastly, the date was a little bit too much on the edge of the watch almost cut off.

I'm not a developer sorry thanks for the patience and work!

you can download the english one here hXXps://drive.google.com/file/d/1fvK8XKONkXIJOduBNv-e9Atlj68Mlmgo/view?usp=sharing and the hungarian one from here hXXps://amazfitwatchfaces.com/bip/view/?id=9862

Love this watchface, thanks a lot! However, I've been looking for a version that is easier to read as it was on the Pebble (or was that also a modified version?), that is it reads, for example, "fourteen fifty six" instead of "one four five six" for 14:56. Is it possible for you to make such a modified version please? I've been looking all over but couldn't find it Thanks in advance!

There is a similar watchface from Takada H: https://amazfitwatchfaces.com/bip/view/?id=1917. To make it with normal white characters is not an easy quest - I'm not sure it is possible.

Yes I saw it before, thanks! But I prefer yours haha, but would rather it show the time like the one from Takada :/ Is it possible to modify yours to look like that?

I've made an experimental watchface in two versions upon your request: https://amazfitwatchfaces.com/bip/view/?id=11974
Neither version is perfect grammatically or esthetic, because number "00", numbers "10-19" and the placing of "o" and "o'clock" tags are tricky. I've no idea how to make it perfect - the only known solution by me is Takada H's one.

Ok, wow! THANK YOU! You just made my Bip even more amazing! Thanks a lot! However, for the "o'clock" thing, let me help you out for future revisions. So use "o'clock" only when the time is exact like 1:00, 10:00, 12:00, 18:00, 22:00, etc, so you say "one o'clock", "ten o'clock", "twelve o'clock" etc

I also love the subtle AM/PM on the top right corner. Easier like this and I don't mind that you don't go beyond twelve.

However, could it possible for you to add the date, day, step counter and heart rate to show when you press the button (and they disappear when the light turns off)? This would make it even more P E R F E C T.

Another request but not so important would be changing the font style to be the same as the original Sliding Text watchface but if it's too hard, don't bother.

Sorry if I sound too demanding but I really, really appreciate your time and help with this! Keep up the great work!

@mike76 to clarify a bit, you can also use "o'clock" for reading other times like 4:15 reads as "four fifteen o'clock" and "8:09" reads as "eight past nine o'clock" but I think using "o'clock" for reading exact times will be enough for the purposes of this watchface.

As for the day and date, I think it would be appropriate to have them as a "day/date" format on the top left corner when the button is pressed and the heart rate and step count on the bottom right corner, one on top of the other, if possible.

Thanks a lot again!

Please check the latest update (V1.3). It's not perfect, but the most I'm able to do due to the limitations of Bip. Next step is fine tuning (maybe changing to original Pebble Sliding Text font style...).

Thank you so much! I tried it and left a comment there, so some things that can be improved if you have the time:

I noticed some things in v1.3 namely the minutes from "eleven" to "nineteen" are shifted to the right when both the hour and minutes should be aligned on the left and the time from minutes "one" to "nine" have "o'" which should not be there (for example it reads 11:06 as "eleven o' six" when it should be "eleven six").

Thank you again for the great job!

Your welcome!
I had used some overlapping images trick to show "o'clock" only on full hours and "o' " from 01 to 09, but not at 00 minutes - this is the reason of alignment problems. Without the "oh" tags I can align from 11 to 19 to the left.
I'm not a native English speaker so I'm not sure about the correct expressions. I learned to spell the zero (or nought) as "oh" from 01 to 09 minutes (11:06 - eleven oh six), but maybe it is too formal, and in plural English you are not using it.

No worries! Still looks great and is now my default watchface

If in the next update you can bring the font style similar to the orignal Sliding Text, it would make it even more perfect! Take your time though and thanks!

This is by far the best watchface I've seen. Thank you so much for the amazing work!

I agree that this is the best watch face I've seen on the Bip! Thanks for making it!
