Expressions for a rotating Bezel in +/- 1 and +/- 5 minutes

Rotating bezel +/- 5min steps, and +/-1min.
30 = 30degree steps or 5min. 6 = 6degree step for 1min
.

The “VAR_# must match. If you use VAR_1 for the 30* steps in the expression, the TAP area needs to be VAR_1 also as the RESET TAP area needs to be “Reset VAR_1”

  1. Place in ROTATION field in bezel image field for +1, +5, -1, -5 tap areas
    (#VAR_1#)*30+(#VAR_2#)*6)

  2. Add a VAR_2 “+” Increment to the face with this expression for +1min CW rotation to execute ((0)+#VAR_2#*6)

  3. Add a VAR_1 “+” Increment to the face with this expression for +5min CW rotation to execute: ((0)+#VAR_1#*30)

  4. Label the on-face tap areas with a +1 or +5, if you prefer of make a legend

  5. Add a VAR_2 “-“ decrement to the face with this expression for -1min CCW Rotation to execute: ((0)-#VAR_2#*6)

  6. Add a VAR_1 “-“ decrement to the face with this expression for -5min CCW rotation to execute: ((0)-#VAR_1#*30)

  7. Label the on-face tap areas with a -1 or -5 or have a legend for the TAP areas, or give the written instructions in your watch description. See my legend

Please, note that the page uses the star * as a sign for formatting, so if there are more multiplication signs in your text and formulas, put the formulas in between apostrophes or use the “preformatted text” feature on them. Otherwise it will not display them correctly.
