Carnival Wheel Watch Face

An animated Halloween watch face for Wear OS: a carnival lies abandoned under a full moon, and its rusty Ferris wheel, with twelve carved pumpkins for gondolas, is the analog clock. Torn circus tents sag in the fog, dead strings of bulbs hang between the poles and a jack-o'-lantern grins from a vendor's cart.

KEY FEATURES
• The twelve gondolas are the hours, the one at the current hour glows, and two painted hands turn on the hub.
• Light-bulb numerals on an old marquee board show the digital time, with the day and date beneath; the hour follows your watch's 12- or 24-hour setting. By default you get wheel and marquee at once.
• Your steps are chalked on the ticket booth's price board, your unread notifications on its window sign, and your battery on the high striker's brass plate.
• Each minute the marquee's bulbs flicker, the carnival lights gutter and the minute hand jolts on.
• On the hour the wheel creaks through a full turn, its gondolas swinging and a chase of lights running round its rim; every light blazes and crows burst out from the tents.
• Tap the wheel and it turns. Tap the cart's jack-o'-lantern and it hiccups flame. Tap the high striker and the puck shoots up to ring the bell.

MAKE IT YOURS
• Time: wheel and marquee, wheel only (with a large date on the board), or marquee only.
• Lights: carnival amber, ghost green, spirit blue or blood red, for the marquee, the date and the current hour's gondola.
• Pumpkin flare on waking: the jack-o'-lantern flares each time your watch wakes (off by default).
• Three complications: steps, unread notifications and battery by default; choose other data for any of them in the watch face editor.

ALWAYS-ON DISPLAY
The fairground turns dark under a dim moon; only the wheel's outline and hands or the numerals, the date, your steps and your battery stay lit, to save power.

MADE FOR HALLOWEEN
• On October 31, from 6 pm to 6 am, crows scatter every quarter hour.
• From midnight to one the moon and every light turn blood-red.
• It all switches on by itself on the night: no setup needed.
