ORB-08 - The Driver WatchFace

ORB-08 offers a view from the driver’s seat, with a steering wheel which rotates as the wearer moves their arm. The main dashboard display visible through the top half of the wheel shows the time, distance and several warning lamps. A central horizontal dash strip houses the steps goal and battery displays while various pods in the lower half of the wheel show a wealth of supplementary information.

The colour of the time digits and the dashboard highlight strip can each be independently changed.

Items marked with ‘’ have additional detail in the “Functionality Notes” section below.

*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.
- At present, distance is unavailable as a system value so distance is an approximated as: 1km = 1312 steps, 1 mile = 2100 steps.
- At present, calorie data is unavailable as a system value so the step-calorie count on this watch is approximated as No-of-steps x 0.04.
- The watch displays distance in miles when the locale is set to en_GB or en_US, otherwise kilometres.
- In some languages part of the day-of-the-week field can be truncated due to space constraints.
