Aperture Pro: Lens Watch Face

A camera lens on your wrist, read three ways.

Aperture Pro is a watch face for Wear OS. The whole dial is the front of a lens, and you choose how it shows the time: steel hands, digits inside the iris, or turning rings. Seven iris blades sit under coated glass, inside an engraved black ring that carries your complications and the date.

THE IRIS
• Opens one stop for every seventh of your daily step goal: nearly shut when the day starts and wide open at the goal (Pupil starts wider, so the time always fits)
• Makes one full turn a minute, stepping with each second, with an accent pip marking the current second
• Snaps shut and opens again at the top of every minute, like a camera shutter

THREE DIAL STYLES
• Front element: faceted steel hands with lume strips over the lens, and applied hour markers
• Pupil: the time in digits inside the iris, growing as it opens. The minute ring around it fills with the accent color as the hour goes on
• Barrel: no hands. An hour ring and a minute ring turn under a fixed index at 12, like the rings on a lens barrel

MAKE IT YOURS
• Six dial colors: Ink, Porcelain, Midnight, Moss, Oxide and Glacier. Each one also changes the color of the coating on the glass
• Three complications on the lens ring at 12, 9 and 6 o'clock for any provider: battery, heart rate, steps, weather, next event and more
• Date at 3 o'clock, on or off
• Choose what opens the iris: your step goal, the battery level, or the passing hour
• For a calmer dial, turn off the shutter, the turning iris, the seconds pip or the lens coating
• 12-hour, 24-hour or your watch's setting for the Pupil digits and the Barrel hour ring
• Keep the Pupil digits always large

ALWAYS-ON DISPLAY
On black, following the dial style: hollow hands and hour markers, the time in digits, or the two rings and the index. By default the outline of the iris stays, opened to your current stop and turning one step a minute. To show less, switch to Time only.

Long-press the face and tap Edit (Customize on Galaxy watches) to change the settings above and the complications. Tap a complication to open its app.

COMPATIBILITY
Works on watches running Wear OS 5 or later, such as Galaxy Watch and Pixel Watch. This is a watch face for your watch, not a phone app. Complication types and refresh rates depend on your watch and installed apps. By default the iris uses your watch's step count and step goal; it does not use the camera.
