You think a binary watch isn't geeky enough? Then go ahead and use this watchface!

Just for fun and probably not too useful, especially if you live in a time zone far away from the so-called

BMT

timezone...

But what is this

BMT

and

.beats

exactly?

It's a concept invented by Swatch in 1998 which intended to divide one day in 1000 units, so-called

.beats

.

Therefore

1 .beat equals 86,4 seconds

(=1 minute, 26,4 seconds). Or, if you wish,

1 hour equals 41,6 .beats

!

Another idea of it was that it's the same all over the world. @428 .beats in New York = @428 .beats in Johannesburg, simultaneously.

So you can make online video chat dates with friends all over the world and use the internet time to easily coordinate without having to think about time zones (well, not really, since you'll still have to think about it because "@428 .beats" actually would be 4:16 AM in New York and 10:16 AM in Johannesburg).

This internet time uses

BMT

as a reference. BMT stands for

Biel Mean Time

, because Biel is this place in Switzerland where the internet time was invented. BMT is equal to CET (Central European Time) but doesn't care for summer time / daylight saving time. So it is constant all year long.

In fact it is exactly like UTC+1 (UTC = Coordinated Universal Time = today's actual internet time!).

To make it a bit more easy to understand, a small summary with an example:

@000 = 00:00 BMT = 23:00 UTC = 07:00 PM CDT

@500 = 12:00 BMT = 11:00 UTC = 07:00 AM CDT

@999 = 23:59 BMT = 22:59 UTC = 06:59 PM CDT

@ ... .beats [unit of BMT internet time]

BMT... Biel Mean Time [time zone used for internet time; equals CET]

UTC... Coordinated Universal Time [international standardised "time zone"]

CDT... Central Daylight Time (e.g. New York) [a time zone used in the US]

To the watchface:

• shows the time and date according to your local settings

• shows the BMT internet time in .beats

• colours of background, time/date and .beats can be changed through the Android Wear app

• on watches with OLED screens only: font changes in ambient mode to a less bold one to prevent screen burn-in (watches with LCD screens don't mind!)

(on languages not supported by Android Wear the US English format will be used... sorry, but that's a Wear thing!)

There's now an

additional watchface which displays the UTC (universal internet) time zone

and your time zone's offset to it UTC.

< the watchface was, as usual, programmed and tested on a Moto360 and Sony SW3, but should work on any available Android Wear device >

A quick way of checking the actual internet time is this Twitter feed:

https://twitter.com/internet_time

Note: this watchface doesn't sync to a time server, it just takes the time you've set on your device and translates it to internet time. That means if your phone/watch isn't using a time server and you've set the time manually, then it could be that your .beats are a bit off (...I mean, come on... really?)

你认为一个二进制的手表是不是令人讨厌不够？然后继续前进，用这个watchface！

只是为了好玩，也许不是太大的用处，特别是如果你住在一个时区远离所谓的

BMT 时区...

但是，这是什么

BMT 和

.beats 到底是什么？

它是由色板1998发明了一种概念，它意在划分一天1000单位，所谓的

.beats 的。

因此的

1 .beat等于86,4秒的（= 1分钟，26.4秒）。或者，如果你愿意的话，

1小时等于41.6 .beats ！

它的另一个想法是，它同样遍布世界各地。 @ 428 .beats在纽约= @ 428 .beats在约翰内斯堡，同时。

所以，你可以与朋友在线视频聊天日期，在世界各地，使用互联网的时间，而不必考虑时区轻松地协调（当然，不是真的，因为你还是要考虑一下，因为“@ 428。拍“居然会是上午04时16在纽约和上午十点16分在约翰内斯堡）。

这个互联网时代使用

BMT 作为参考。 BMT代表

比尔标准时间的，因为贝尔是这个地方在瑞士，使用互联网的时间被发明。 BMT等于CET（欧洲中部时间），但不关心夏令时间/日光节约时间。因此，它是恒定的所有一年之久。

其实，这是完全一样UTC + 1（UTC =协调世界时=今天的实际上网时间！）。

为了让多一点容易理解，一个小总结用一个例子：

@ 000：= 00:00 BMT = 00:00 UTC =下午7时CDT

@ 500 = 12:00 BMT = 11:00 UTC =上午07时00 CDT

@ 999 = 23:59 BMT = 22:59 UTC =下午6点59 CDT

@ ... .beats [BMT的上网时间单位]

BMT ......比尔标准时间[用于互联网的时间时区;等于CET]

UTC ...协调世界时[国际标准“时区”]

... CDT中部夏令时间（如纽约）在美国使用时区]

到watchface：

•显示时间和日期根据您的本地设置

•显示.beats的BMT上网时间

•背景，时间/日期和.beats颜色可以通过Android Wear应用程序进行更改

•手表上只有OLED屏幕：（！手表，液晶屏不介意）的环境模式，以一个不太大胆的字体更改，以防止屏幕老化

（上不支持Android的语言佩戴美国英语格式将用于...很抱歉，但这是一个穿的东西！）

现在有这显示了UTC（通用互联网）时区和时区的偏移到它的UTC

注：此watchface不会同步到时间服务器，它只是需要你的设备上已设置的时间，并将其转换到互联网的时间。这意味着，如果你的手机/手表没有使用时间服务器和你手动设置时间，那么它可能是您的.beats有点过（...我的意思是，来吧......真的吗？）
