Wear OS · Nixie Tube Watch FaceCathode
Four glass tubes on a black metal stand light up the hours and minutes. The lit digit glows in front and the unlit digits stay faintly visible behind it, the way nixie tubes look. Two small tubes on top show the day of the month, and the round windows on the left and right start with steps and battery. The time follows your 12 or 24-hour setting.

Pick the tube color on the watch, in Customize. It sets the glow of every digit and the text in the windows. A value with a range, such as battery, draws a thin arc around its number.

Cathode: Nixie Tube Watch Face
Give your Wear OS watch the warm glow of retro nixie tubes, with the time in large glowing digits you can read at a glance. Cathode is a digital nixie tube watch face: four glass tubes on a black metal stand light up the hours and minutes, two small tubes above them show the day of the month, and two round windows on the left and right hold your complications.
Pay once and it's yours: every tube color is included, and it installs straight onto your watch.
