Alternate between Day and Date

Watchface Design Expression Help
1

Hello,

This is a new face I created. Currently where it displays the day of the week, I’d like to have it alternate or toggle between that and the date (in simple format) about every 2 seconds or so. Is there an easy way to do this with opacity or something?

Thanks!

For 2 images or text. Changes every 2 seconds.
$(#DWE#%4)<2?100:0$
$(#DWE#%4)>=2?100:0$

Hi
I made two text fields (one for day of week and one for the date) then used the following in the transparency field.
(squareWave((#DWE#.5), 100,1,0)) for one text and
(squareWave((-#DWE#.5), 100,1,0)) for the other.
You can easily adjust the .5 multiplier for timing.
Good luck!

Oops sorry Bud, I hit reply before I looked!
Looks like you got this covered. Nice!

Alternatively…
You could put something like the following in the text part of your field.
$#DNOW#%1000<500?#DE#:#DdL#$
This would allow you to use just one field.

Thanks for the quick responses! @mrantisocialguy your solution works best for now!

I also like the idea of having it all in one filed like @rmcewen63 suggested. How would I display “#DMM#/#DdL#” in place of just the “#DdL#” that you included in your expression without it treating it like a math problem?

@MolecularOrange It’s pretty simple if you just look at what @rmcewen63 put in the first place
$#DNOW#%1000<500?#DE#:#DdL#$
#DE# is for the Day Of Week (short), so just replace that with your #DMMM# for the Month (also short)
$#DNOW#%1000<500?#DMMM#:#DdL#$
Then, if you want to slow that down a little, just change the numeric values
$#DNOW#%2500<1250?#DMMM#:#DdL#$ (the top line Text)
Adding #DE# in the right place would then give you the lower line Text (I slowed it down a little more) -
$#DNOW#%3000<1500?#DE#:#DMMM# #DdL#$
.

.
Inspection is on if you want to look…
P.S. Nicely done @rmcewen63 but yours was good too @mrantisocialguy
