Custom Date and Time Formats
All my watchfaces support Custom Date and Time formats. This allows you to set up dates and time in a format you want.
Custom Date Fields
These characters can be used to create a custom Date string.
| Format | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
%z | Day of year from 01/01 | 228 |
%W | Week of year Number | 33 |
%w | Day of Week Number | 0 |
%j | Day of Month with leading Zero | 17 |
%d | Day of Month | 17 |
%D | 3 Letter Day of week | Sun |
%l | Day of week | Sunday |
%m | Month with leading Zero | 08 |
%n | Month | 8 |
%M | 3 letter Month | Aug |
%F | Full Month | August |
%y | Short Year | 25 |
%Y | Full Year | 2025 |
%C | Capitalize everything in the date string | %l%C = SUNDAY |
Custom Time Format
The following characters can be used to create a time string.
Example: %h:%i%a will display: 05:59pm
| Format | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
%h | Hour 12h | 03 |
%H | Hour 24h | 15 |
%g | Hour 12h No leading Zero | 3 |
%G | Hour 24h No leading Zero | 15 |
%a | Lowercase Ante or Post meridian | pm |
%A | Uppercase Ante or Post meridian | PM |
%i | Minutes | 50 |
%s | Seconds | 23 |
Note: You are able to use Time strings inside the custom date fields, but not the other way around.
