Four columns, one for each digit of HH:MM. Rows count 8, 4, 2 and 1 from top to bottom: add up the glowing dots in a column and you have the digit. At 10:08 only two dots light up. A small digital time below helps while you learn and can be switched off once the bits read themselves.

How to read it

Each column is one digit: tens of hours, hours, tens of minutes, minutes. The rows are worth 8, 4, 2 and 1. A lit 4 and 1 make 5; a column with nothing lit is 0. The faint grid always stays visible, so even midnight in 24-hour mode is readable.

Training wheels included

The 8 / 4 / 2 / 1 guide on the left and the digital time below switch on and off independently. Start with both, then drop them when you no longer need to count.

Seven glows, a quiet always-on

Ivory, Ice blue, Lime, Amber, Rose, Violet or White. Always-on keeps bright outlines for the lit bits and dim ones for the rest, and moves by a pixel each minute. No date, seconds, sensors, permissions or network connection.

Device compatibility

Round watches running Wear OS 4 or later. These are examples that meet the platform requirements, not a list of physically tested devices.

Binary is still in preview: tested on Wear OS 4 and 6 emulators. Compatibility with individual watches has not yet been confirmed; final availability will appear on Google Play.

Install the latest available system update first, especially on Galaxy Watch4, Watch5 and the original Pixel Watch. The installed Wear OS version matters, not just the model name.

Other Wear OS watches

Other round watches may meet the requirements if they run Wear OS 4 or later. They are not confirmed here; check the exact device in Google Play when the face is released. On dual-system watches, this face is intended for Wear OS mode.

Not compatible

Garmin Connect IQ, Apple Watch, older Samsung watches running Tizen, and watches still running Wear OS 3 or earlier cannot install this edition. A similar model name does not imply the same operating system.
