Watch the numbers roll.
Reel Time brings the look of a classic mechanical counter to your wrist. With each time change, digits slide into place on a continuous animated reel, with more digits moving above and below the visible rows.

🕰️ IN THE TRADITION OF SLIDES OF TIME AND ENIGMA
Reel Time descends from the classic Enigma watchface and carries forward the “Slides of Time” rolling digit style with a fresh layout and deep customization.
✨ HIGHLIGHTS
🎞️ SIGNATURE REEL ANIMATION
Time changes roll into place on sliding digit reels. For more drama, choose Spin, where each changing digit turns a full circle before it lands. Set the pace to Normal, Relaxed or Slow. Choose Smooth motion for easing in and out, or Steady motion for an even, mechanical pace. Pick from three LECO digit sizes: 42px, 50px or 60px.
🧩 MAKE IT YOUR LAYOUT
Arrange five configurable rows with date, month, year, weekday, hour, minute, steps, heart rate or battery level in almost any order. Start with a Classic, Dual Time, Fitness or Minimal preset, then fine tune it to suit you.
❤️ FITNESS AT A GLANCE
Show steps or heart rate from Pebble Health alongside the time. Large numbers can span two rows, and both parts always change together.
🌍 A SECOND TIME ZONE
Keep another time zone on the face, handy for travel or staying in touch across time zones.
🎨 MAKE IT YOUR COLORS
Choose background and text colors for the whole face, or start with the Dark or Light theme. Top and bottom rows can fade toward the background or match your text. Give the AM/PM band any colors you like, including an exact color code. The time automatically switches between black and white for readability, and the colors use no extra battery.
👋 A PERSONAL STARTUP SCREEN
A five line splash greets you whenever the watchface launches. Each line can show your text, weekday, date, time or random digits. Choose how long it pauses before rolling into the time, at your selected speed.
🔋 SMART BATTERY SAVINGS
The reel animation automatically steps down when your battery is low, your phone is out of range or Pebble Health detects that you are asleep. The animation adapts to save power when it matters.
👀 PREVIEW BEFORE YOU SAVE
The settings page opens with a live drawing of your round or rectangular watch. It updates as you change the layout, colors, digit size, second time zone and startup screen, and warns if your text may be hard to read. Tap Play to preview a minute change or the startup screen on your own watchface, with your chosen speed and motion. Each settings section folds away with a one line summary, keeping vibration alerts, including Bluetooth disconnect and hourly chime, battery options and other settings easy to find.
🎯 WHO IT'S FOR
Whether you want a watchface that feels alive, one you can fine tune, or a clean way to see the time, date, fitness stats and a second time zone at a glance, Reel Time adapts to you. Made for minimalists and tinkerers alike.
Compatible with Pebble Time 2 and Pebble Round 2.
