The Digital face

What is the Digital face?

Digital is a single line of numerals scaled to the width of the screen, showing hours, minutes, seconds and AM/PM. It is the face to pick when the clock has a job to do rather than a room to decorate, and the only one here that is comfortably legible from the far side of a room or in the corner of a video call.

How do you hide the seconds?

Tap the readout. The seconds drop away and the hours and minutes grow to take the space back, so a glanceable clock becomes a calm one without changing anything else. Tap again to bring the seconds back. The choice is remembered on that device.

Why does Digital have no movement setting?

Quartz and Mechanical describe how a hand travels between positions, and Digital has no hand — the digits simply change. The movement row collapses when you select this face, which is why it is the one face in ART'EDGE with no movement option.
