Show off your 360 with different bands and faces

[electricpete]

So I finally found a good Superman watch face. AND I picked up the actual Moto 360 quick release black leather band. So now I have the brown leather quick release it came with, the stainless I got here locally and now the black. I can match any wardrobe!!

So I'm guessing there must be a story behind your avatar?

So I'm guessing there must be a story behind your avatar?

I mentioned it somewhere else around here I think, but yea there's a story. I grew up a huge Superman fan, so much so that, along with my nature of always wanting to help whenever I could, that people started calling me Superman. As the years have drawn on, I feel more and more like a shell of that person, a "fallen Superman" if you will. So, the avatar really spoke to me, since as in that movie and that scene specifically Superman is battling his own demons. So I guess, bottom line, pour me another....

I started using a new watchface from facerepo with some modifications of my own. The old one I was using got corrupted or something and I kept getting app errors with android wear. The new one seemed to fix it somehow.

Anyway:

I use the https://facerepo.com/app/faces/details/arsenal-ii-14ab68338e3 with added digital and dynamically color changing batt%s from http://watchmaker.haz.wiki/tips:dynamiccolor. I think I may change the second hand.

That cheapo band from China finally came. It is really cheap. I mean, really, really cheap. Did you ever cut a really soft neoprene? Like I don't mean the resistant to cutting stuff they make fuel lines out of, I mean the stupidly pliable stuff they make waterproof window gaskets out of? That's what this feels like. A moderately sharp knife goes through it like the proverbial butter. If you decide to buy one of these just to try, buy two. Then you can learn how easily they cut and make mistakes on one and do it right on the other. The buckle isn't horrible. It is again cheap but it does have a safety on it. If it fails, the buckle is not where it would occur. It would be up by the pins.

Speaking of pins, it didn't come with any. Thankfully I bought a pack of like 200 different sized watch pins.

I used it for a grand total of about 20 minutes. I decided I didn't want my $350 watch dangling from a $4 band. LOL

Back to the leather.

This is nothing spectacular but I wanted to share it with you anyway...

I really like the Moto Minimal face. This just adds some functionality to that.

I was bored over the weekend and came up with this.

https://facerepo.com/app/faces/details/the-resistant-154229fc9bb

Absolutely nothing frilly or anything. Honestly all I was trying to do was see how close I could get to a Rolex Submariner using only elements from Watchmaker Pro. The hands are the hard part with doing that as obviously these aren't even in the ballpark. They're based upon the factory Moto "Minimal" watch face.

I figured if any of you guys want a base for a watch face that's really close to the Sub... here ya go.

Edit: Already an update. I had an idea about how to make the watch hands more Submariner looking.

Here is my latest iteration of this watch.

Also a couple of exclusives for my friends here.

Here's another exclusive one for you guys here.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B50X2NRm3MbEem14RVY0bjl4OVE/view?usp=drivesdk

This is a "What If" watch that will make sense once you look at it. It's based upon my Digital Dials and is an interpretation of what a major manufacturer's Android Wear device might look like if they ever offered one, using look-alike design elements and fonts.

I named it the "Voyager."

Let me know what you think.

The buttons remain the same as they were. Touch the date for Agenda. Touch the temperature for Weather. Touch the battery for Settings.

Hey guys,

I posted a new one at Facerepo.

https://facerepo.com/app/faces/details/racer-2-0-155597a6195

 

[shalemail]

I like the racer, just tried it on.

Hey I am not "good" at watches ... if I were to PM you a request what would you charge to make me a custom job?

 

[Outatime]

Yeah, I'll see what I can do

Here's an update to Racer. P.S. the little red line is midday. Nothing else intense. The 24h marker is easier to read. More icons to make it look high tech. Minor tweaks to stuff for better visibility.

I didn't catch you said "charge." Just send me your idea, I'll see what I can do.

 

[shalemail]

Idea sent.

Thank you sir

Otta, you are an outstanding maker of things! And you know you could put some watch faces on playstore for a buck or two and I guarantee people would buy them!

 

[Outatime]

Thanks Shale

I also made this one recently.

[shalemail]

Well I love my BVS and I am happy others will get to share in it's pure awesomeness. Thank you again.

I had a thought, don't know if it's possible, but a Camping watch face would be cool, compass, moon phases, barometric pressure, along with current weather conditions. You know for outdoorsy geeks like me that are just as comfortable in a comic shop as they are in a canoe fishing on a still lake at 5AM.
Color palette of tans, greens, browns, burnt orange ya know outdoorsy stuff.

Just a thought.

 

[Outatime]

That's not a bad idea. I'm going to be pretty busy this weekend but I'll keep that one in mind. I did one of the combat Bamford Rolex ones a little while ago but I don't recall if I ever posted it. I'd have to find it. Something along those lines might be cool.

I finally bought a band I like. The quality is outstanding for a "cheapie."

Looks good, you'll have to show us when it's all put together. I know I like my stainless band.

 

[Outatime]

I've been insanely busy lately including a trip to DC for work. I meant to post these a while ago...

This is still my daily driver for watch bands. I really love the way it looks. And for $16 you can't go wrong!

Please don't make fun of my arm hair. LOL.

 

[Outatime]

I just posted this to Facerepo...

https://facerepo.com/app/faces/details/motorola-simple-with-pop-up-2-0-1562cc8e473

I haven't done a scripted face in a long time. Click the Moto logo to toggle the button screen.

I'm sorry I made this lefty. Making it righty would be real easy. Set the black box (5th element along) from -184 to 184 and the date from -177 to 177. Should line up perfectly.

The buttons you can make whatever you want. I have them set to Weather, Google Messenger, PixtoCam and Settings. Just change the tap actions of the circles to whatever you want them to be.

Being a high end watch collector with only automatic movements, I was having a hard time finding the perfect smart watch. The Moto 360 2nd Gen 46mm was the best looking and functional smart watch that looked really good. It just arrived and I'm currently trying to become smart with it. Found this dial which allowed me to put my name under the logo. Cool touch.

 

[Outatime]

Looks awesome DConn! The silver on silver really looks elegant and technical at the same time.

 

[lunatic59]

That looks like Skymaster, @Dconn1975. One of my favorites.
