+# pooq Round: a maximally readable, naturally 24hr, analogue watch face
+
+This is a normal watch face for telling the time.
+It is unusual in that it uses a pie chart for the hour hand. This is much easier and
+more precise to read at a glance than a conventional hand, and as a bonus can distinguish
+midnight (all black) from noon (all white).
+
+The day and date are optionally displayed, typographically smooshed into the corners.
+Either you'll like that, or you won't.
+
+## Options
+
+Because sometimes I don't want to burn what I'm cooking and others I'm lazy and just want to know if it's afternoon yet,
+you can alter the number of ‘hands’ on the display. When the watch is unlocked, slide up to add dots representing the minute and second,
+or down to remove the distraction. There's also a setting that displays the second hand, but only if the watch is perfectly face-to-the-sky,
+in case you want the ability to check the _exact_ time, hands free, without the impact on battery life this usually entails.
+
+Although we genrally obey the system-wide theming, you can long press on the display for a menu of additional options specific to the face.
+We don't obey the system 12/24 setting, since it the design of the face is equally good in either interpretation.
+
+## Limitations
+
+Since this is intended as a design exercise, it does not and will probably never support the Bangle's standard widgets.
+Sorry about that, but control of all the pixels was just too important to me.
+
+There's also no support for internationalisation at present. This irks me, but since every month and day name is hand-drawn, 
+there's no fix other than hard work. Talk to me about it if there's a language you'd like.
+
+## Feedback
+
+[I'd be happy to hear your feedback](https://www.github.com/stephenPspackman) if you have comments or find any bugs, or (most especially)
+if you find this work interesting.
