Bring a living East Asian ink wash mountain landscape to your wrist. Inspired by traditional brush painting (Shui Mo, Shan Shui, and Sumi-e), Ink Wash is a serene Zen art watch face for Wear OS that shifts naturally with the time of day, live weather, and the phases of the moon.
Rather than a static background, the dial is a continuous panoramic painting on traditional textured paper. Over a calm six-minute cycle, misty mountain peaks, ancient cliffside pines, distant pagodas, and quiet water reflections drift slowly across the watch face.
A LIVING LANDSCAPE THAT RESPONDS TO YOUR WORLD
* Continuous Panning Mountain Scroll: A seamless ink wash panorama moves smoothly across the dial, revealing new mountain ridges, pine islets, and water reflections throughout the hour, complete with animated ink-painted birds gliding above the peaks on fair days.
* Live Weather Animations:
- Rain and Thunderstorms: Diagonal ink-stroke raindrops fall across the scroll, intensifying into a denser downpour during heavy rain or storms.
- Snow: Soft snow flurries drift and sway gently down from the peaks.
- Fog and Wind: Layered mountain mist rolls across the water and cliffs.
* Subtle Time-of-Day Sky Tint: Optional dynamic sky tinting gently warms the upper paper with a soft peach glow at dawn (around 6:30 AM) and amber warmth at dusk (around 6:15 PM), shifting to a cool moonlight tint at night (8:00 PM to 5:00 AM) while preserving the classic light-paper ink aesthetic.
* True Astronomical Moon Phase: Every night from 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM, the moon rises behind the mountain peaks, accurately rendering the live 28-day lunar cycle from waxing crescent to full moon and waning crescent.
CALLIGRAPHY, RED SEAL & BRUSHWORK DATA
* Custom InkWash Calligraphy Font: Time (12h/24h auto-synced), localized date, and live temperature are rendered in a bespoke brush typeface supporting Latin, Cyrillic, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean scripts.
* Red Cinnabar Seal Heart Rate: At 8 o'clock, a traditional carved red stone seal stamp pairs with your live heart rate in BPM.
* Brushstroke Battery Gauge: Along the 6 o'clock rim, a painted dry-brush stroke expands and retracts with your battery percentage, guided by a moving brush tip over a faint ink trace.
* Customizable Complication & Hidden Shortcuts:
- 4 o'clock Complication: Displays your choice of daily data (defaults to Step Count, or choose Weather, Battery, Calendar, and more) styled in matching brush calligraphy.
- 2 Invisible Tap Shortcuts: Tap the Time or tap the Heart Rate area to launch your preferred apps (such as Alarm, Calendar, or Heart Rate) without cluttering the artwork.
TAILORED INK & PAPER CUSTOMIZATION
* 3 Traditional Ink Tones:
- Sumi Black: Classic pine-soot black ink.

BATTERY-SAVING ALWAYS-ON DISPLAY (AOD)
* Designed for OLED screens, Ambient Mode switches to a pure black background with a soft white-ink landscape silhouette, calligraphy time, date, temperature, and brush battery arc.
