  Jagger Watch Face – Review

 

 

Time shown in Hex colour codes is nothing new but has fascinated me for a long time. If this is a new concept to you then check out this website What Colour is it? One of the more common ways to select a colour is with its hex code. Three sets of numbers displaying the Red, Green and Blue percentages in a desired colour. So time is converted into colour with the hour being the red value, the minutes being the green and the seconds being the blue.

As soon as I got a smartwatch I wanted this as a watch face and it seems so did a few others. I had tried two different hex time watch faces before Jagger and each had its own failings. While Jagger was released at the tail end of last year I have only just found out about it thanks to Google refreshing their watch face collection page.

Jagger comes with some great options. One of the best is “Show color name” which allows you to see the time as a hex code and the name of the colour underneath. – Turns out not all greens are just called green! You can chose to display this in ambient mode as well but as the font is rather small and you can’t see the colour there isn’t really a need for this. If you’re a fan of minimalism you can chose to display short notifications to keep your screen as clean as possible. If not, you can show the date. – Handy for me as I always forget the date just as I’m signing something 16 hours into the day.

The only way I could see this watch face being improved is taking full advantage of ambient mode.
Currently in ambient mode the face stops displaying the seconds but it would be nice for the time to become larger when this happens due to all of the freed up space which would make it easier to see at a glance.

The app is available for free from the play store and works on both square and round watches. It’s really worth checking out.
