ORB-12 The Planets

ORB-12 provides a view of the 8 planets in our Solar System as they orbit the Sun. The watch face shows the approximate current angular position of each planet. The background is split into 12 segments representing the months of an Earth year. The Earth makes one rotation around the face per year.

The Moon also orbits the Earth according to the lunar cycle. The moon-phase is shown at the bottom of the watch face.

Note: Items marked with ‘*’ have additional info in the “Functionality Notes” section.

New in v31:
The user has a choice of 10 hand styles*.
The background starscape has been made slightly more visible

Features:

Planets:
- Colourful representations of the 8 planets and the Sun which are (from closest to the Sun): Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

Lunar Eclipse Indicator*:
- In the hours before a partial or total lunar eclipse is due and when the moon is full, the moon-phase is outlined with a red ring. When the partial eclipse is underway it is half-shaded red, and turns fully red during a total lunar eclipse, signifying the appearance of the so-called ‘blood moon’.

Date Display:
- Months (in English) displayed around the rim of the face.
- The current date is highlighted in yellow in the appropriate month segment on the face.

Time:
- The hour and minute hands are stylised elliptical orbital paths around the Sun.
- The second hand is an orbiting comet

Customisations (from the Customise menu):
- ‘Colour’: There are 10 colour options for the month names and digital time.
- ‘Show position on Earth’: The wearer’s approx longitudinal position on Earth (displayed as a red dot) can be disabled/enabled.
- ‘Hands’: 10 available hand styles
- ‘Complication’ and tap on the blue box: The data displayed in this window can include sunrise/sunset (default), weather and so on.

Occasional display fields:
For those who may require additional at-a-glance data, there are hidden fields that can be made visible and are displayed beneath the planets:
- A large digital time display can be shown/hidden by tapping the central third of the screen, This can display 12/24h formats according to the phone setting.
- Step count can be shown/hidden by tapping the lower third of the screen. The steps icon turns green when the steps goal* is met.
- The customisable information window can be shown/hidden by tapping the upper third of the screen.
- Both the step count and the customisable field move slightly along the vertical (y) axis when the wrist is twisted, so that the wearer can still see the data if partially obscured by a passing planet.

Battery Status:
- The centre of the Sun displays the percentage of battery charge
- Turns red below 15%.

Always on Display:
- The 9 and 3 markings are red in AoD mode.

Functionality Notes:
- Step Goal: For Wear OS 4.x or later devices, the step goal is sync’d with the wearer’s health app. For earlier versions of Wear OS, step goal is fixed at 6,000 steps.
- Lunar Eclipse Indicator: Total and Partial Lunar Eclipses are currently programmed until 2036.
- When the analogue hands are hidden, the digital time can be shown by tapping on the centre section of the face.

Fun facts:
1. Don’t expect Neptune to move much – it takes Neptune 164 years to complete one orbit of the sun!
2. The scale of the solar system on the watchface is not to scale. If it was, the watchface would need to be more than 26m in diameter to include Neptune's orbit!
