About this app

This Watch Face for Android Wear allows you to see the sunrise and sunset times for the day,as well as twilight periods.

You can see at a glance the daylight you have left and when to expect the sunrise or sunset.

Sunlight Watch Face is meant for an Android wear smartwatch such as Asus ZenWatch, LG G, Sony Smartwatch 3, Moto 360, Samsung Gear Live.

To choose the new Watch Faces, choose it in the Wear app on your phone, or Long Click on the watch face on the watch. You should see "Sunrise Sunset" as one of the choices.
Please allow some time after downloading for it to show up there.

It is not intended for those that are not Android Wear watches, such as Gear 2 or Gear S or Pebble. It does not have any widget for phone or tablet, but a similar watch, Sunlight Watch Face and Widget, does.

The daylight clock shown is calculated based on your rough location, current time, and a great deal of math. No need for constant retrieval from the internet or sunset calendar. Think of it as a sunrise and sunset calculator in graphical form.

The following information is shown on the watch:
-The time in analog format
-The time in digital format
-The Day of the week
-The Date
-A battery symbol showing the battery life left on your watch.

Color highlights around the edge of the dial illustrate the solar day. It includes:
-The daylight hours highlighted in light blue
-Civil Twilight Period - yellow preceding sunrise and orange following sunset
-Nautical Twilight Period - dark blue before or after Civil Twilight
-Astronomical Twilight - shown in purple.
-Nighttime hours- shown as dark.

There are three common subcategories of twilight, represented on the sunrise sunset clock (summarized from Wikipedia):
Civil Twilight is a time when the sun is below the horizon, but there is generally enough light to carry out outdoor activities without artificial light. The brightest stars become visible as this ends.
In Nautical Twilight, the horizon is indistinct, and general outlines of land features can be seen, It is considered to end when navigation by the horizon at sea is no longer possible.
Astronomical Twilight may appear to be fully dark. Point sources of light such as stars are easily observable at its beginning, but dimmer sources, like distant galaxies, are only visible as it ends.

Now that your Android Wear watch tells you sunrise and sunset times, you can use that information to support your outdoor activities.

Use it to determine hunting times, fishing times, hiking times, or photography times. Any activity which relies on a certain amount of sunlight should be enhanced.

Recommended for Landscape photography.

Use to find the time of a great sunset or the time of a great sunrise. Take pictures or simply enjoy the rising or setting of the sun. Watch the sunset or sunrise.

The watch face has an alternate face for dim/ambient mode to save battery life.
This is a 12 hour clock face depicting sunrise in the morning and sunset in the evening.
Before noon, it will be a sunrise calculator, and after noon, a sunset calculator.

I would love to give this app 5 starts because I think the developer is on the best track of any watch faces that display sunset times however I tried to get it to work on the gear s3, but no avail. What a bummer because its a great looking watch face.

Bought this forever ago for my Moto 360, but now I have a Fossil Explorist 3 and it won't even show up in my available faces. Really would like a refund if it's not going to work at all.
