About this app

Do you wear glasses? Are you tired of small or cluttered, hard-to-read numbers?

Meet Peek Hour: a bold, functional, and highly readable digital watch face for Wear OS. It's designed for clarity, giving you the time and essential data you need in a clean, uncluttered display.

Read the time intuitively from its unique background gauge, or tap the screen to get the exact minute. It's the perfect blend of minimalist design and data-rich features, built to be read instantly, day or night.

1. The Intuitive Background "Gauge" Peek Hour’s core feature is its dynamic background. Think of it as a liquid gauge for the hour: the color drains on-screen from bottom to top as the minutes pass.

At 15 minutes past, the screen is 1/4 empty.

At 30 minutes past, it's half empty.

At 45 minutes past, it's 3/4 empty.

With a little practice, you can master reading this visual gauge to the minute. Combined with the giant hour number, you can instantly see the time in a quick, visual way.

2. The "Peek" for Digital Precision Prefer traditional numbers? Just tap the screen. The precise minutes will "peek" into view, cleverly appearing inside the giant hour. Tap again to hide them and return to the clean, uncluttered visual display.

This two-part system is also ideal for quickly checking the time in the dark. The background gauge gives you the time at a glance, and a quick tap gives you the digital details.

Giant Hour Display: An ultra-large, high-contrast hour number for instant readability.

Dynamic Time Gauge: Watch the background drain as the remaining minutes in the hour progress. A visual way to determine the time when you don't need the exact minute.

"Peek" Minute Display: Tap the screen to show or hide the exact digital minutes inside the large, numeric hour.

Optimized Always-On Display (AOD): The screen dims to a battery-safe AOD mode that remains perfectly readable. It features the giant hour and a simple line showing the current minute, with tick marks for the 15, 30, and 45-minute marks. It's ideal for a quick glance in the dark without needing to wake your watch.

Step Goal Progress: A 10-dot progress bar at the top fills as you walk, showing your goal percentage at a glance (e.g., 4 dots = 40% complete).

Crush Your Goals: Keep going! For every 10% you go over your step goal, a dot turns into a heart. How many hearts can you collect?

Battery Level Indicator: A 10-dot progress bar at the bottom provides a clear view of your watch's battery life, in 10% increments.

Always-On Date: The day of the week, month, and day are always visible at the top.

Step Counter: See your exact step count right under the date.

9 Color Themes: Tap the settings icon (in watch face selection) to cycle through 8 color themes to match your style, mood, or outfit.

Flexible Minute Display: You have full control. In the settings, you can choose to show the minutes always inside the top, black background, or the bottom, color background (or both!). You can use this in addition to or instead of displaying minutes with a tap inside the numeric Hour display.

We designed Peek Hour for everyone, especially those who wear glasses, or want to know the approximate time it is when waking up at night, without getting flooded by light.

The ultra-large, high-contrast numbers are easy to see, even when your vision is blurry. Whether you're nearsighted or farsighted, you can get the information you need: day or night, with or without your glasses.

Download Peek Hour today and see your time in a whole new, clearer way!

Hi James! While Peek Hour can be used by anyone, it's purpose-built for checking the time without glasses. The background color drains from top to bottom to show approximate time at a glance. (Half way = half past.) Exact digital minutes sit inside the giant hour digit. This specialized layout may not be for everyone, but thanks for trying it!
