📝 About this app

The watch face consists of up to <b>3 circles</b>, each either displaying the current hour, minute, second or battery level. All circles are fully <b>customizable</b> (color, thickness, padding, length, gradient), however customization for the inner circle is limited in the free version.
Additionally, two lines of text can shown in the center, with even more information about the current time, like the day name or the date (or any other text).


To configure the watchface, open the "Android Wear" companion app and select the "Circles" watchface there.
