I'm tempted to leave my UI thoughts unwritten until I've seen this next version, but....

One of my previous recommendations was to leave the seconds bar out of the standard screen. As I was constantly testing alarms and whatnot, it turned out to be very hand because I had something to look at). Perhaps you should just leave it in, but why not use this seconds bar as a divider between the clock area (top) and the buttons area(bottom)? A seconds bar might look very natural in between the clock and the buttons. I suspect that the overall look will be cleaner and less cluttered.


(Un?)fortunately no kidding there I spent a lot of my professional time pixelstaring, so that's why I probably saw it.


That's great! I've got two theme ideas, so let me make some designs and I'll get back to you. And, now that you've mentioned 'release time'..... How much time do I have for my theme?
I like the idea of the seconds dividing the clock from the controls.

Also, on the horizontal swiping, I was trying it out to see what it felt like and I often triggered an up/down swipe by mistake. Maybe the number of pixels needed to trigger up/down needs to be increased?
