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 | 339 |
%W | Week of year Number | 49 |
%w | Day of Week Number | 6 |
%j | Day of Month with leading Zero | 06 |
%d | Day of Month | 6 |
%D | 3 Letter Day of week | Sat |
%l | Day of week | Saturday |
%m | Month with leading Zero | 12 |
%n | Month | 12 |
%M | 3 letter Month | Dec |
%F | Full Month | December |
%y | Short Year | 25 |
%Y | Full Year | 2025 |
%C | Capitalize everything in the date string | %l%C = SATURDAY |
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 | 01 |
%H | Hour 24h | 13 |
%g | Hour 12h No leading Zero | 1 |
%G | Hour 24h No leading Zero | 13 |
%a | Lowercase Ante or Post meridian | pm |
%A | Uppercase Ante or Post meridian | PM |
%i | Minutes | 19 |
%s | Seconds | 01 |
Note: You are able to use Time strings inside the custom date fields, but not the other way around.
