Programmable Hands
The hands of Garmin's new Instinct Crossover are fully programmable using the company's Connect IQ SDK.
setClockHandPosition (options as
{
:clockState as WatchUi.AnalogClockState,
:hour as Lang.Number or Null,
:minute as Lang.Number or Null
})
:clockState
– A framework-level constant for the clock state
:hour
– Position for the hour hand in degrees clockwise from the 12 o'clock position
:minute
– Position for the minute hand in degrees clockwise from the 12 o'clock position
Tissot has had a 20+ year head start shipping timepieces with independently-controllable, bi-directional hands. It's a shame they haven't gotten around to implementing a similar SDK for their stable of T Touch timepieces.
