InfiniTime "Yellow Banana" - Stopwatch / dual watchfaces!
Yet another InfiniTime release, bringing 2 exciting new features: a stopwatch and two watchfaces, which can be swapped at will!
Keep reading to know more :)
Redesigned default watchface
InfiniTime has now got a lot more contributors, and thanks to J8oaquim, we now have an improved digital watchface:
- colors (green icon for notifications, dark blue for bluetooth, red for HRM, and light blue for steps),
- date/day is now correctly displayed for all cases (there were cases where the year would display "202" - instead of 2021
Pictures below show the previous watchface (left) and the new one (right):
Stopwatch
A contribution from Panky-codes: a simple yet very nice stopwatch!
It supports pausing it, as well as laps, and can be accessed from the 2nd screen, middle app of the top row:
Analog Watchface
Another contribution from J8oaquim: a very elegant analog watchface, which:
- also makes use of different colors,
- displays the date,
- shows the notifications icon,
- as well as battery level,
- and last but not least: a red seconds hand :)
Switching between watchfaces
When I read that InfiniTime now had 2 different watchfaces, I wondered how
switching between them would be implemented.
Initially, I thought that it would be handled through dedicated apps (hence
clicking one one icon would bring the analog watchface, and another one would
bring the digital one).
I'm glad it's not how it has been implemented, since the way it's done is much more intuitive and elegant: just long press on the current watchface (> ~ 2 seconds) will switch to the other one! Simple as that! :)
Wrap up
If you've followed my different articles about InfiniTime, you have probably seen that each release brings small but nicer improvements.
And this Yellow Banana / 0.15.0 is no different!
But I must admit that having a proper stopwatch, 2 watchfaces to choose from (and easily switch between), and nice colors on each of them, makes the InfiniTime experience even better!
So in a nutshell: upgrade your PineTime NOW!!! :)
You can get it from here.
