Music Time is a vibrant watch face that brings your music to life - even when you’re not listening. It adapts its colours to match your album art and displays your current track’s artwork right on your wrist.

Album Art Watch Face
A dynamic watch face that uses your current album art as the background, with colours that shift and adapt to match whatever you’re playing.

Corner Complications
Assign information or icons to all 4 corners of your watch face for an at-a-glance view of what matters most to you.

8 Independent Info Slots
Choose from dozens of display options and configure each of the 8 information slots completely independently. Put exactly what you want, where you want it.

Fully Customizable
• Customize the Top, Middle and Bottom information sections: choose what information appears and where
• Configure the large Middle block position (Top, Center, or Bottom)
• Set each section’s visibility behavior: Always, On Wrist Flick, or Never
• Display Pebble Health data including steps, distance, sleep, and active time
• Toggle between Metric and Imperial units
• Change date format
• Enable text shadow or background styling for improved readability

Dynamic Colour Theme
Automatically adapts your watch face colours to match the current album art - every song brings a fresh look.

Battery at a Glance
Monitor your phone battery, watch battery, and connected Bluetooth device (ex: headphones) battery all from your watch face.

Wrist Flick to Reveal Info
Hidden info such as time, date, and health stats can be shown always or temporarily revealed on wrist flick.

Automatic App Detection
Automatically detects which media app you’re using and captures its album art.

Free Mode
When first installed, Music Time sends sample album art to the watch when you change songs. All customizations are fully functional!

Premium Features (Unlock Required)
To display live album art from your own music and media, choose one of the unlock options:
• One time permanent unlock, or
• Ongoing Support in the Music Boss Deluxe app (a small monthly tip jar that unlocks all my apps) (musicboss.ca/ongoingsupport for details)

Watch Compatibility

I’m just getting into this whole Music Boss thing and I love it! I haven’t gotten the watchface to work though, only the Pebble apps. I see no album art on the Music Time watchface, is there anything special I should do to get it to work?

Edit: oh… Music Boss and Music Time are two separate purchases? Maybe I wasn’t paying enough attention but it really wasn’t clear at all to me.

Awesome! Welcome to the party.

I updated the companion app a couple of hours ago and it’s available. Can you try updating the companion app and watch face?

In Free mode sample album art will send to the watch (when you change songs) and real album art of your media will display once the app is unlocked.

If the pebble appstore route doesn’t work, use the local pbw install. All the companion apps now have the watch apps embedded including a version check system and recommendation to update.

Each app has its own unlock. You can however “combine” your unlock by choosing the ongoing support option in Music Boss Deluxe.

If you’ve already unlocked Music Boss Deluxe but want to go the ongoing support route, email me and we’ll get you sorted.
