WATCH FACE FOR WEAR OS (LEGACY) & Tizen
Tidal Forces - Northern Hemi
There is allot going on with this watch face, and it isn't for everyone.
1: The top down view of the Earth's Northern Hemisphere is in the middle. This view shows the light and dark side of the earth in relation to your coordinate location on it. Your longitudinal location is highlighted with the red bar. Your latitudinal location is highlighted with the red circle. Your coordinates are the intersection of the two (+/- 500km). The earth spins slowly throughout the day as your location transitions from the light to the dark side of the earth. The sunrise time is indicated on the right in yellow, adjacent to the shadow edge. The sunset time is indicated on the left in grey, adjacent to the shadow. The Earth's shadow area expands in the winter for the shorter days, and contracts in the summer for the longer days, due to the Earth's 23.5 degree tilt to the solar plane as it orbits the sun. With the Earth shadow feature, there is no need to have an AM/PM indicator, but it is still there if you use 12 hour mode. There is a little sun at the top of the screen if you wish to imagine it casting the shadow.
2: The moon orbits the earth exactly as it does in the real world, This is a true real time moon orbital model, callibrated fairly well until mid 2025. The moons shadow is accurate to the little sun as well. Fun feature - imagine you are standing at the tip of the red line on the earth looking at the moon (when it is in view only), you will see the moon phase exactly as you do onthe moon phase icon. The moon phase icon is on either the lower left or right side depending on where the real moon location is.
3: TIDAL FORCES are the real influence behind creating this watch face. The smaller Sol tidal influence force is shown around the earth in YELLOW. The larger Luna tidal influence force is shown around the earth in GREY. The Cummulative tidal force is shown around the earth in a LIGHT BLUE. If you exlcude land and coastal influences, the tide at the equator will be reflected as high/low tide by these tidal influence forces as the water is squished about.
4: Also shown is the current weather condition icon, appropriately reflecting day/night for a moon or sun condition icon is displayed top, along with your location name. Steps are on the side. Weather and steps switch sides depending upon the real moon location.
Imperial/Metric, Mi/km, 12/24 hour mode compatible.
Updated 20 October 2021: I added a light layer of Moon Visibility Range as a light box above your geographic location. If any portion of the moon is within this you should be able to see it at the appropriate east/west location. If the moon is only partially intersecting the box, it should be at that horizon.
Updated 25 October 2021: I messed around with the font and font sizes to try to make it easier to read. Not sure if it much more than a tiny bit better. ¯\_㋡_/¯

@RUSTY-CRESS: School was 30 years ago, and I just squeeked by. 🙄
Don't Press return . As I mentioned to you before. For me Facer is for Fun . Keep it up.
Sir I admire the Science , Maths and Art. Did you do that well at school ? I am very Lucky were I live the Tides and the moon are In Sync baring the Sloar influance .
