About PixelTime - 8-Bit Watch Face
Turn your smartwatch into a retro gaming console with PixelTime — a pixel-perfect 8-bit watch face built from the ground up with hand-crafted pixel art.
Every digit, icon, and character is rendered using a custom 5x7 pixel font with sharp nearest-neighbor scaling. No blurry upscaling, no anti-aliasing — just clean, crisp pixels the way they were meant to be.
FEATURES
- 5 color themes: Classic Green (terminal), Amber (Nixie), Ice Blue, Hot Pink (vaporwave), and White
- CRT scanline overlay for authentic retro feel (toggle on/off)
- 12-hour and 24-hour time format
- Optional seconds display
- Full complication support: heart rate, steps, battery, weather, and more
- 4 customizable complication slots
- Low battery usage — updates once per second, dims in ambient mode
- Burn-in protection for OLED displays
DESIGN
PixelTime was designed by a game developer who grew up on 8-bit consoles. The watch face features a chunky pixel font inspired by classic arcade machines and early computer terminals. The optional scanline overlay adds subtle horizontal lines that mimic the look of a CRT monitor.
The layout is clean and readable at a glance:
- Large pixel time display (center)
- Day and date (below time)
- Complication icons with data (bottom row)
- Weather or other data (top)
CUSTOMIZATION
Tap the watch face settings to customize:
- Pick from 5 carefully chosen color themes
- Toggle the CRT scanline effect
- Switch between 12h and 24h time
- Show or hide seconds
- Assign any complication data source to the 4 available slots
COMPLICATIONS
PixelTime renders complication data in its own pixel art style using custom icons for a consistent retro look. Supports SHORT_TEXT, RANGED_VALUE, and image complication types. Works with all standard Wear OS data sources including third-party apps.

- Google Pixel Watch, Pixel Watch 2, Pixel Watch 3
