Paid for the premium version and created a custom watchface with Date, Time and my initials in the center. Easy to use.

Thanks for sharing your feedback! It makes me happy that you’ve found the app useful and easy to use. It’s pretty cool that others get to enjoy the things I create.

Now it would be great if when I enable Quiet Time, the Top Information would display QUIET TIME. Also, a loss of Bluetooth would display DISCONNECTED. Or whatever is easiest for you.

I’ll have to look into the ability to detect quiet time.

Good news about the connection status, there’s already a Bluetooth disconnected icon on the current build.

Yes, BT icon is displayed at the top, left. Forget what I suggested about displaying QUIET TIME. A simple, maybe red, icon could be displayed at the top, right.
