RetroLap-IOV is a customizable digital watch face for Wear OS that brings back the classic sports watch: seven-segment digits on a grey-green LCD in a dark case. Some designs never needed an update. Four liquid-crystal windows hold the date, the time and your readings, and whatever is not liquid crystal is printed on the case: the weekday row with today marked.
The readings/metrics come from apps on your watch. The watch face only displays them, and with your watch's health and fitness app as well as a weather or calendar app there are more values to choose from.
These settings can be made either from the app or on the watch itself.
Setting them on the watch can cause trouble (metrics/data/complications pick their own tappable area) and those areas can overlap. In that case the settings have to be made from the app.
An illustrated step-by-step guide for both ways is here:

Features:
- The faint unlit eights sit behind the lit segments, as on a real liquid-crystal panel
- Three complication slots: the upper right window, the lower window and the ten-block bar
- The bar takes providers that deliver a value with a range — only then is its fill honest, the two windows take any short text
- Nothing to set up first: out of the box it shows heart rate, steps and battery — the dial reads all three itself
- The weekday names in your watch's language, today highlighted
- Switches for the date, the seconds, the ring of minute marks around the edge, the faint unlit segments and your watch's system font in place of the segments
- Color settings with eighteen colors each plus an "As Designed" reset
- Always-on display: weekday, date and time stay visible in grey, centered — case, windows and readings step back
- No permissions, no network access, no data collection
Requires Wear OS 5 or newer.
