PixelTime - 8-Bit Watch Face

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.

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)
