Big digits. Busy sidebar. Two time zones.
A Pebble watchface built on BrutalTimeStyle: Brutal's huge pixel digits with a dithered shadow, TimeStyle's sidebar of widgets, and the Alternate Time Zone settings that version was missing.
The time is drawn the way Brutal draws it. Each digit is a 12×14 pixel glyph scaled up to 48×70, with its corners chamfered on the way. Behind it sits a second copy of the digits, dithered and shifted: the shadow.
The same slider as the watchface settings: 0 turns the shadow off, 128 fills in half its dots.
Off by default, so 09 becomes a solid 9 over a dotted 0.
This preview runs the watchface's drawing code, ported to JavaScript and fed its real glyph sheet. At 09:45 with the default shadow, it matches a Pebble Time screenshot pixel for pixel.
Pick the time and background colours; the shadow is drawn in the time colour.
The clock follows your watch's time format.
When a notification peeks up from the bottom, the clock rearranges to fit the space that's left.
Set any sidebar slot to Alternate Time Zone and it shows the hour somewhere else. BTSWatchface adds the two settings BrutalTimeStyle left out: the label above the hour, and that zone's offset from UTC.
Try it: the widget shows the hour there right now, the way the watch formats it.
Up to 4 characters; 3 fit the sidebar best, like NYC, LON or TYO.
Any whole hour from UTC−12 to UTC+14, with example cities to pick from.
The watch doesn't track summer time for the other zone, so change the offset when its clocks change: New York is UTC−5, or UTC−4 in summer. Half-hour zones like India can't be shown.
Three slots beside the clock (four on Pebble Time 2), each one any of these:
Day, date and month.
How much charge is left.
Current conditions and temperature.
Today's high and low.
The hour in a second zone, under your label.
From the same forecast as the weather.
Today's step count, or distance walked.
How long you slept, or just the restful part.
On watches with a heart-rate sensor.
A ticking seconds readout.
The ISO week of the year.
Shows when your phone disconnects.
Internet Time, in beats.
| Platform | Watch | Sidebar slots |

Round and black-and-white Pebbles aren't supported.
BTSWatchface stands on three watchfaces: TimeStyle by Freakified for the sidebar and its widgets, Brutal by irek for the digits, and BrutalTimeStyle by PebbleYYC, which merged them.
The watch runs BrutalTimeStyle 1.3's code unchanged. BTSWatchface adds the settings for the alternate time zone and its own app ID, so the two install side by side. MIT licensed, like the watchfaces it comes from.
