Time fixed against a live direction. Temaxis puts a live compass ring around a clock you can read at a glance. Raise your wrist and see the time, your heading in degrees and the direction you face, all on one Apple Watch screen. ONE GLANCE, TWO ANSWERS ⢠A large, legible clock sits inside a compass ring that turns as you do. ⢠The time, the heading readout and the direction marker stay still. Only the ring moves. ⢠Heading from 0° to 359° with the cardinal direction, such as 347° NW. ⢠Magnetic North or True North, with a clear M or T badge. ⢠12-hour, 24-hour or system time, with optional seconds and date. SEVEN ORIGINAL THEMES ⢠Minimal: large time, thin ring, calm and clean. The default. ⢠Digital: rounded type with the heading in an outlined capsule. ⢠Explorer: degree numerals, fine ticks and a strong North arrow for outdoor use. ⢠Classic: a traditional analog dial inside a compass bezel. ⢠Analog: a contemporary dial with slim baton markers. ⢠Tactical: a very large heading above a compact time, in high contrast. ⢠AMOLED: pure black with as few lit pixels as possible. Turn the Digital Crown to flip through themes right on the instrument. BUILT FOR THE WRIST ⢠Stay on Screen keeps Temaxis open after you lower your wrist, instead of returning to the watch face. It needs location access and uses more battery, so turn it off any time. ⢠A simplified Always-On display that stays readable while your wrist is down. ⢠Haptic feedback you can turn off, plus a tap on your wrist when you face North in Premium. ⢠The clock keeps working even when the compass is off. ON YOUR WATCH FACE Apple Watch does not let apps replace the watch face, so Temaxis offers complications for any face with room for one: circular, corner, rectangular and inline. The rectangular style also appears in the Smart Stack. Tap the Temaxis mark to open the compass clock. IPHONE COMPANION ⢠Browse every theme with live previews and change every setting from your iPhone. ⢠Changes sync both ways between your iPhone and Apple Watch. ⢠A step by step guide to adding Temaxis to a watch face. ⢠The watch app also works fully on its own. PRIVATE BY DESIGN ⢠No account and no sign-in. ⢠No ads, no analytics, no tracking. ⢠Your heading and location are processed on your Apple Watch and never leave it. ACCESSIBLE Support for VoiceOver, Bold Text, Increase Contrast, Reduce Transparency and Reduce Motion. FREE, THEN ONE PURCHASE Temaxis is free with the Minimal and Digital themes, the live compass, Magnetic and True North, and every clock option. Temaxis Premium is a one-time purchase with no subscription. It unlocks the Explorer, Classic, Analog, Tactical and AMOLED themes, custom accent colors, ring detail and the North alignment haptic. One purchase unlocks Premium on both your iPhone and your Apple Watch. For the best compass accuracy, keep your watch away from magnets and metal. Temaxis is an app, not a watch face, and it does not change your Always-On settings.
