Prince Tribute Pebble Time Watchface

If any of you are Pebble Time owners, I made a tribute watchface, which you can download here:

Yes, it's a bit basic - it only shows time and date. I really have no idea what I'm doing with code. I just alter shit until it works. lol

That is nice. I might try my hand at making one for Android Wear.

You totally should. There's surprisingly few out there, if you search "Prince watchface."

There's no good drag-and-drop resource to create Pebble watchfaces. This took me HOURS! :lol:

I'm guessing Android Wear has more resources to create faces? Pebble watches are still a tad niche. There's one WYSIWYG website, but it's uber-basic.

I don't know how long this will stay in the Pebble app-store though, before the Paisley Meanies stomp on it. lol

Grab it while you can!

I don't know how to go about making one as a stand alone watch face that could be published to the Play Store.

However, there's a couple of apps called "Facer" and "Watchmaker" that allows you to make your own by just dragging and dropping images and then choosing where the dials or text goes.

Then there's an online repository here that you can upload them to.

I searched on there for Prince and a few came up.



I might try and make something that matches my phone case, that'd be cool.

That's a lovely palette of colours to play with.

I just kept to two colours with my watchface, because the Pebble Time's screen is very low resolution. The more colours you use, the more "Legoland" the result. lol

I still love my Pebble though, even with its low-fi display. It lasts five days from one thirty minute charge (which suits a scatterbrain like me).

I might amend it when I've got some spare time again next weekend, to make it compatible with the OG.

Nice to see these. And another reason to be glad the PRINCE Act was shelved, else they would be banned.

Not as expensive as an Apple Watch. They're under £100 at Argos in the UK right now. smile

Haha!

That's just a skin that I applied, from DBrand skins. I stuck it on a year ago, and it's stayed stuck ever since.

I'd highly recommend them, if you want to apply a retro wooden skin to any gadget.

I had a white skin from dBrand on my previous phone, the Nexus 6. Unfortunately it gathered quite a lot of dirt and grime, much of which wouldn't clean off. So I ended up peeling it off after maybe 3 months.


The dBrand stuff is really good though, and if I were to get another in future I'd consider one of those wooden style ones, but not another white one.

Yeah. The mahogany effect probably disguises a multitude of sins. Haha!
