[WatchFace] ESTRAZOLA free 3 zone face. Now with Complications

I have just released a new round Android Wear watch face with a strong look and two unusual features - the ability to buzz on the hour and three zones (local + 2 configurable)

I have found the hourly buzz really handy to help me not miss the start of meetings at work! I also find the three time zones useful for timing my communication with my colleagues in Hong Kong and New York. I hope you will find these features useful too, and if you have feedback I'd love to hear it.

Features
•  Analog and digital time display
•  Date display (day of month and weekday)
•  Watch battery level
•  Three time zones (local time + two configurable time zones)
•  Touch to fade hands
•  Touch digital time to switch digital time zone
•  Option to buzz the watch on the hour and/or half hour
•  Choice of watch face colours
•  Choice of watch hand colours

Uploaded a wear 2.0 version of the Estrazola watch face today! I've run it in the wear 2.0 emulator, but I'd be interested to get feedback from anyone who has had the real upgrade.
 
Thanks for tracking that down, @kate!

@DubiousAssociate I like the face! Nice and clean, and a perfect dim mode for what I want. I really like the digital-style seconds indicator and the time zone support. I work with servers that operate on UTC, so it's great to be able to see 'server time' without having to do math.

It's good to include a schedule for the hourly buzz, but maybe also let the user pick which days it should be active as well. A few more colors to choose from would also be welcome.

On-watch configuration works well with AW2 (Huawei Watch). I'd love to see support for external complications though (pretty please?).

Keep it up! You've got a good eye for good watch face design!

Thanks @codesplice , really appreciate the feedback! Choosing which days to make the buzz active is a great idea, and I agree some more colors would be a good thing too!
 
I took some advice from @codesplice and added an option to enable wearers to choose which days the hourly buzz should be active. Now possible to switch off the weekend, or enjoy silent Wednesday, or whatever :)

Here's Estrazola with three of my favourite "Complications" added.

Until @codesplice mentioned Android Wear 2.0 "Complications" back there I admit I had not really understood what they were all about - but I am now a full convert! Providing the ability to add data and shortcuts from other apps is a game changer - credit to Google for enabling that. I've added options on the Estrazola watchface for complications on the left, right and top. I have been trying this out on my own Moto 360 over the past few weeks, and I have to say it adds a lot of functionality and fun. I'd be interested in your opinions on how this works for you. I had a dilemma as to whether to allow the logo and watch name to get swapped out by the top complication - but heck... it gives space of another dial, so I did. If you liked things the way they were, don't worry, just set the complication back to "none" and you will get the default original look. If you like this watchface, please be the first to rate.
