One of the main features of this watch is that is capable of showing the time with 3 leds. For translating a color scheme to a readable hour you have to do some math in to your head.
Each color represents some number (this table could vary):
Number: | Color: |
0 | Black |
1 | Red |
2 | Green |
3 | Blue |
4 | Yellow |
5 | Cyan |
6 | Magenta |
7 | White |
Lets have for example Green - White - Black, would be translated to 2 - 7 - 0
270 in octal is 2 * 64 + 7 * 8 + 0 * 1 = 184 in decimal. Now, each unit in 184 represents 5 minutes from 00:00h, a total of 920 minutes have passed. 920/60 = 15h and 20m so the time is 15:20h.
There're some handy hours:
Color | Octal | Decimal | Hour |
Black Black Black | 000 | 0 | 00:00h |
Black Red Yellow | 014 | 12 | 01:00h |
Green Green Black | 220 | 144 | 12:00h |
Red Red Black | 110 | 72 | 06:00h |
Blue Blue Black | 330 | 216 | 18:00h |
We can see some patterns, like the 110 - 220 - 330, and probably there are more, so if you found some interesting time saving patterns I'm glad to read it!
