About ORB-12 The Planets

ORB-12 provides a view of the eight planets in our Solar System as they orbit the Sun. The watch face shows the approximate current angular position of each planet. The background is split into 12 segments representing the months of an Earth year. The Earth makes one rotation around the watch face each year.

The Moon also orbits the Earth according to the lunar cycle and the moon phase is also shown separately at the bottom of the watch face.

Note that this watch face is adapted for Wear OS from a face created for Samsung’s previous generation smart watches using the “Watch Face Studio” tool. This toolset is still new and thus we anticipate that there may be some minor functionality issues (see the “Functionality Notes” section below). Please let us know on our support email address if any are encountered.

Installation:
If you get the message "Your devices are not compatible" when trying to obtain this watchface from Play Store on your phone, instead use Play Store on a PC or Laptop.

Features:

Planets:
- Colourful representations of the eight planets and the Sun in the centre which are (from closest to the Sun): Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

Date Display:
- Months (in English) displayed around the rim of the face
- The current date is highlighted in yellow in the appropriate month segment on the face.

Time:
- The hour and minute hands are stylised orbital paths around the Sun.
- The second hand is an orbiting comet

Occasional display fields (in active mode):
For those who may occasionally require additional at-a-glance data, there are hidden fields that can be made visible and are displayed beneath the planets:
- A large digital time display can be displayed/hidden by tapping the central third of the screen, This can display 12/24h formats according to the phone setting.
- Steps count can be displayed/hidden by tapping the lower third of the screen. The steps icon turns green when the steps goal is met.
- A customisable info window can be displayed/hidden by tapping the upper third of the screen. The data displayed here can include sunrise/sunset (default), weather and so on.

Battery Status:
- The centre of the Sun displays the percentage of battery charge
- As this falls below 15%, the Sun turns red.

Always on Display:
- The 9 and 3 markings are displayed in red in AoD mode.

Fun facts:
1. Mercury orbits the Sun more that four times during the course of one Earth year
2. Don’t expect Neptune to move much – it takes Neptune 164 years to complete one orbit of the sun!
3. The scale of the solar system on the watchface is not to scale. If it was, the watchface would need to be at least 26m across to include Neptune's orbit!

We hope you like viewing our solar system on your Galaxy Watch.

Support:
If you have any questions about this watch face you can contact support@orburis.com and we will review and respond.

Functionality Notes:
- At this time the steps goal is fixed at 10,000 steps
- If the sunrise/sunset times do not show when the info window is revealed, long-press on the screen and select “customise”, click on the info window and choose to allow the watch to receive data from apps.
- If steps or the info window display ‘0’ or appear blank respectively, swap to another watch face and back again – this will normally fix this issue.
