I’m trying to get dials to rotate in sync with a minute hand. I’ve set up the watch with the minute hand as the background and want the dials to rotate like this example:
Here is the watch face being worked on:

I have done something similar with my Lunar Orbit watch face
For example, the 12hr clock dial orbits the face once every 24hrs with the following formulae:
x pos = (160+79.7sin(rad(#DWFHS#+180)))
y pos = (160-79.7cos(rad(#DWFHS#+180)))
In your case, in the above formulae:
- replace the 24hr tag with the equivalent 1 min tag
- replace the radius ( 79.7 in the example ) with the appropriate value for your dial(s)
- replace the start rotation ( 180 deg in my case ) with the start rotation you want.
I hope that helps.

Hey mikeoday
Thank you very much, that did help. I’ve been able to sync up the largest hour dial but I’m struggling with the smaller dials. Even with your instructions I can’t seem to figure out the positioning.

Well I figured it out using this tutorial for the second and temp dials: [Tutorial] How To Create Circular Motion (Not Rotation)
Temp Dial:
x-axis = (((sin((-(#DWFMS#+48)/180)*pi))*100)+160)
y-axis = (((cos((-(#DWFMS#+48)/180)*pi))*100)+160)
Second Dial:
x-axis = (((sin((-(#DWFMS#+308)/180)*pi))*100)+160)
y-axis = (((cos((-(#DWFMS#+308)/180)*pi))*100)+160)

Built another now that I understand how to do it. Thanks again for all the help!

Well done, that is looking really good. I like the 1 sec hand.
