Desert Rising 3D Watch Face

A 3D animated digital watch face for Wear OS: the time rises out of the desert. Your watch becomes a window framed by a ring of weathered sandstone, looking out on rolling dunes in a low sun. The hours stand far away as carved digits, half-buried and hazy with distance, while the minutes have risen right in front of the frame, leaning out toward you over the stone ring.

KEY FEATURES
• Sand pours off the tops of the big minute digits, and their long shadows stretch across the dunes.
• Every new minute, the digit that changes rises out of the sand to its place, sand streaming off its top and sides; on the hour the hour digits rise too.
• Tap the dial and a gust drives a veil of blowing sand across the landscape. It happens by itself every hour too.
• The date is carved into the ring at the top; unread notifications, steps and battery are carved into small stone tablets half-buried in the sand.
• Nothing moves between minutes: a digit's rise plays for about a second, the gust only on a tap and on the hour.

MAKE IT YOURS
• Sky: sunset (orange dunes, golden light on the stone and long violet shadows), day (pale sand in bright light, deep shade on the digits' sides) or night (silver-blue dunes under the moon, cool moonlight on the stone).
• Time: 12- or 24-hour, as your watch is set.
• Three complications: unread notifications, steps and battery; choose other data for any of them in the watch face editor. Another app's complication shows its icon; set a slot to Empty and its tablet goes away.

ALWAYS-ON DISPLAY
Always-on shows only the outlines of the digits and the ring's edge, dim on black.
