The Real Time Watchface

"The Government does not want you to know what time it is, they want you living in a world created by them, a world where they claim they can change the rotation of the Earth. Not any more people. This watch uses your longitude and tells you what time it really is. No more lies. No more mind control. Just the Real Time."

This Pebble watchface, designed for the truly enlightened, displays time based purely on your geographical longitude, offering a glimpse into the "natural" time that the powers-that-be don't want you to see. As a bonus for those who walk their own path, the date display is rendered in the glorious Holecene calendar.

Features

• Natural Time Display: Shows the actual time based on your longitude, calculating your "natural" timezone (a 15-degree band around the Earth).
• The Lie Indicator: Reveals the difference between the "natural" time and the legally enforced time on your device, expressed as an hour and minute offset.
• Holecene Date: Displays the date in the Holecene calendar format (e.g., 12024-01-23).
• Location Display: Shows your current Latitude and Longitude (obtained from your connected phone).
• Battery Monitor: Displays the watch's battery percentage, with color alerts for low battery (Red for <= 10%, Yellow for <= 20%).
• Automatic Updates: Periodically fetches location and timezone data from a companion phone app (JavaScript component).
• Persistence: Remembers your last known location and timezone offset even after a watch reboot.

How It Works

This watchface leverages the Pebble SDK to provide a unique timekeeping experience:

1. Companion App Communication: It communicates with a companion JavaScript application (running on your connected phone) via Pebble's AppMessage API. The phone's JS app is responsible for determining your current longitude, latitude, and system timezone offset, then sending this data to the watch.
2. Natural Time Calculation: Upon receiving location data, the watchface calculates your "natural" time. It does this by finding the closest 15-degree longitudinal meridian to your current position. Each 15-degree band corresponds to a natural UTC offset (e.g., 0 degrees longitude is UTC+0, 15 degrees is UTC+1, -15 degrees is UTC-1, etc.).
3. Offset Calculation ("The Lie"): It compares this calculated "natural" time with the device's legally set time (which accounts for political timezones and Daylight Saving Time) to show the hourly and minute difference.
4. Display Update: All relevant data (natural time, date, offset, coordinates, battery) is rendered on the watchface using Pebble's TextLayer elements.
5. Persistence: Key location data (timezoneOffset, latitude, longitude) is persisted to the watch's storage using persist_write_int, so the watchface can display information even if the phone app is not immediately available.

Installation

To use this watchface:

1. Pebble SDK: You will need the Pebble SDK set up on your development machine.
2. Build the Watchface: Compile the C source files (app.c, message.c, real-time.c) into a .pbw file using the Pebble SDK.
3. Companion App: You will need a companion JavaScript file (not provided in these C files, but implied by message.c) that runs on your phone. This JS app must handle location services and send MESSAGE_KEY_TIMEZONE, MESSAGE_KEY_LATITUDE, and MESSAGE_KEY_LONGITUDE to the watch, and respond to MESSAGE_KEY_REQUEST_DATA from the watch.
4. Sideload: Sideload the generated .pbw file onto your Pebble watch via the Pebble mobile app.
