I love this watch face. I believe it is the best binary watch face I have found. Since binary is a numbering system, could you make an option to have 1s & 0s in addition to open & closed circles? That way we could actually see the number instead of just dots. After all, the saying is there are 10 types of people, those who understand binary & those who don't. Not there are two dots of people 🙂 I do have one challenge. The base 10 time keeps showing up in the background at least once a day.

Been using the app for years now and love it. However, every since the OSWear 4 update (oct. 2023) the 2 data circles in the bottom re-appear after charging, although I don't use them. I have to go into setting, choose no data for each and then they disappear.

Hello, absolutely love the watch face and options. However I am also having issues with the 2 complication circles. I set them (for example, stopwatch and timer), but they do not appear on the watch face. Watch 4 classic and Note 20 ultra, suspect it may be related to a similar issue another user is having?
