DNA Helix Glow Watch Face

A 3D animated digital watch face for Wear OS: a DNA double helix of glowing glass stands through the dial behind big lit digits. Two tube backbones spiral round each other, three full turns from top to bottom, joined by base pairs of light in alternating colors; the far side lies dimmer, thinner and softly out of focus, seen through the tubes in front. At rest it is dimmed, so the time reads first.

KEY FEATURES
• Each tube has bright refracting edges and a lit core.
• Every hour the strand makes a full turn about its axis while a pulse of light runs up it, then settles exactly where it was.
• Tap the dial and it turns for you.
• The time is lit in big digits of a clean lab-display typeface, a white core in a colored halo.
• Steps, unread notifications and battery sit in capsules at 9, 3 and 6 o'clock, the icon above the value, each lit in the color of a base. The date sits in a capsule at the top.
• At rest the face changes only once a minute; the turn plays only on a tap and on the hour.

MAKE IT YOURS
• Glow: teal, violet or gold. The helix, its base pairs, the digits and the capsules all take the color.
• Time: 12- or 24-hour, as your watch is set.
• Three complications: steps, unread notifications and battery; choose other data for any of them in the watch face editor. Another app's complication shows its icon and text; set a slot to Empty and its capsule goes away.

ALWAYS-ON DISPLAY
Always-on shows only the time as thin, dim outlines on black.
