Globe

Globe is the Earth on your wrist, and a way to know the time anywhere on it.

The watch face shows the globe with the line between day and night where it really is, moving as the hours pass. Tap it and the same globe opens in the app, at the same view, ready to turn.

Turn the world with a finger or with the crown: one click of the crown is one hour of longitude, one time zone. Tap a country and it lights up with its name, its local time and its time zone; where a country keeps several times, the boundaries between them are drawn, and the tap lands on the right one. A 24-hour dial round the rim marks your own hour and the hour where you tapped, with the difference between them drawn as an arc.

For the small places, press and hold: a magnifier opens above your finger, shows the map four times larger and slows your finger down to match, so Luxembourg is as easy to choose as Brazil. Double tap to come home to your own time zone. Hold the dial to switch between the dark globe and a light one, on the face and in the app alike; the face has its own editor for the choice, a digital or an analog clock, and six complication slots.

The whole thing runs on the watch with no phone, no account and no connection. It asks for no permissions: your own time zone is all it needs to know where home is, and it never reads your location.
