Pixel Aquarium Watch Face

An animated pixel-art aquarium lives under your watch glass. Fish swim full loops through lit water, turn at the glass and never fade away, plants sway, bubbles rise, and a small LED clock glows on the hood of the tank. Keep a planted freshwater tank, or fill the whole dial with a round goldfish bowl.

What you get
• Two views of one tank: a planted tank seen side-on under a black hood, or a goldfish bowl that fills the dial.
• Fifteen fish, each drawn pixel by pixel with its own tail beat and turn: Silver angelfish, Halfmoon betta, Red turquoise discus, Fantail goldfish, Red cap oranda, Black moor, Fancy guppy, Dwarf gourami, Comet goldfish, Neon tetra, Cardinal tetra, Harlequin rasbora, Ember tetra, Panda corydoras and Bristlenose pleco.
• Four places to fill with the fish you like: Lead fish, Second fish, School and Bottom dweller.
• Scenery you choose: wood and stones for the tank, a castle, treasure chest, ruins or shell and pearl for the bowl, lush or light plants, and natural, slate, rust or pale gravel.
• Tank lights that follow the day: dawn pink, white noon, amber sunset and a moonlit night. Or hold them at always day or moonlight.
• An LED clock in four colors: Amber, Mint, Ice and Rose.
• A brass nameplate on the front: a complication (a small info spot) that shows your battery level by default, or any short text you choose.

Why it stands out
• Fish that behave like fish. They swim head first, turn at the glass in three steps, school together and patrol the gravel, and every loop repeats cleanly with no jump.
• Lit like a real tank at the end of the day: an LED bar under the hood, rippling light, sword plant, anubias and driftwood, and in the bowl a lamp in a dark room.
• Always-on display: lower your wrist and the tank settles to a quiet pixel outline of the view you chose, with the time on the LED clock.
