Reading time and graphs,
together.
The largest numbers show hours and minutes. The smaller numbers show seconds; colored areas show time progress.
Large numbers: hours and minutes
10:08 means 10 hours, 8 minutes. TITANIUM stacks hours (H) above minutes (M).
Small numbers: seconds
The small numbers beside the time show seconds. Turn them on or off with Show seconds in Customize.
24H / DAY: day progress
Shows how much of the day has passed since midnight. The graph is about half full at noon.
MIN: progress within the hour
Shows minutes and seconds within a 60-minute hour. It is about half full at 30 minutes and restarts on the next hour.
Rim markers and status information
ORBIT and PULSE use 00, 06, 12 and 18 as 24-hour graph markers. Outer hour/minute/second markers, battery and steps provide additional information.

Make it your own.
Connect the information you need.
Touch and hold the face on your watch, then open Customize. Menu names may vary with the watch and system version.
Collection · Graphic
Combine CARBON, TITANIUM or PAPER with six graphics for 18 faces in total.
Surface style
Choose Flat or Relief. Relief adds depth to the rim and rails; time and graphs are read in the same way.
Time format
Choose the watch setting, 12-hour or 24-hour time. The day graph remains based on 24 hours in 12-hour mode.
Seconds · Date · Graph motion
Choose displayed information and traveling light. Turning graph motion off does not stop the clock or progress graphs.
Battery · Steps
Select compatible complication providers in Customize. Step counts use the permissions and data of your device and chosen health app.
AOD
Enable always-on display in your watch's system settings. AOD uses a dim, simpler display with reduced decorative motion and seconds.

Questions?
Find the answers here.
Common questions about settings and connections.
Which watches are supported?
For compatible round watches running Wear OS 5 or later. Check your device's compatibility on Google Play before purchase or installation. This Wear OS package does not support Apple Watch or Samsung watches running Tizen.
Why do graphs change after I turn off their light?
Graph motion controls the light effect. Time and day/minute progress continue to update.
Weather or steps are missing.
Check current temperature in the weather app, location permission and phone connection. For steps, choose a compatible complication provider and check the health app's permissions. Availability depends on the device, provider and permissions.
The numbers differ from the guide.
Times, dates, weather, battery and steps in this guide and web previews are examples. Your watch shows its actual time and connected information.
Can SPECTRA run an interval timer?
SPECTRA does not include interval timer operation. Intervals linked to ATLAS hand fills are provided by the separate ATLAS Tools app.
