Remember the old Mac's from the 80's and their monochrome displays and ridiculously slow processing speeds? Oh, how long we had to wait while we stared at that spinning wait cursor... Used as a motif for this watch, this nostalgic wait cursor has been brought back to life in a cool way! The alarm also uses nostalgic alert sounds. It even has an Easter egg. -Caution The alarm and timer are not main functions and are active only while the app is in use. Please understand that the alarm and timer do not function properly. During silent mode, tones for the alarm and timer do not sound.
