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

[rebootsramblings]

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.

[rebootsramblings]

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.

[Den_in_USA]

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.
