I would have a challenge.
Since facer is rearranging the size of inserted images and watches come in various native resolutions, the pixels and canvas sizes do not match most of times.
I though scaling of vector graphics would cause less image distortion.
To prove me wrong I made me a font with tick marks and another with simple watch hands.
In facer preview everything seems nice and crisp, but on my gear S3 the second hands seems to flicker a bit.
I dare anybody adventurous to try this face and report back whether it causes trouble or not.

I’ll take that. Fossil Gen 6. Just give me a while to work out what is going on with sync from designer

I am a little curious about some of your character choices, such as B for ticks.
Edit: DOH. The font contains watch elements.
Also the wee 16 and blank circle, left, occluding the numbers a bit.
Did give me an idea about date and month as there are 12 hours and 12 months. It’s not what you are going for though because the 16 is not between the 11 and 12 to denote November.

Yes, there are two fonts with only A, B and A, B, C letters for the basic watch elements, ticks and hands.
As fonts are described in vector form, they should be rendered with best clarity independent from resolution (depending on algorithm, might be worse than bitmap graphics, that is why I asked for tests on various devices).
Sorry I did not describe the face more, because its so minimal. To time there is only date between 4 and 5h and small hand for battery charge with ticks each 5% on the left side.

No issues on my Samsung Galaxy Watch6

Thought I’d watch it over time and no issues on mine, even under a Fresnel lens.
Web search is coming up blank for “font” “watch hands” and similar
I also loaded it on my ticwatch ultra pro 3, the seconds hand moves like DWFS and not DWFSS.

That is strange. Do other faces run the second hand smooth on it?
And thanks for taking look guys
