    @futzle will appreciate the horror of a software-defined watch face that is _meant_ to show the phase of the moon behind a digital clock, but in fact appears to slide an image of the (full) moon from left to right ... a totally bonkers represenation

    the example image for the software-defined Lunar watch face on Suunto GPS devices. The image shows a nominal time of 19:36 in bold white text superimposed on a two-bit image of the moon, in dark blue on black. Unfortunately the image as depicted can in no way be representative of how the moon will actually look in practice ...

    @futzle ... in my defence - the example image looks plausible if you don't stare at it too hard and I installed the watch face on my device during a new moon and only figured out what was going on this morning ...

    a photo of a watch with the Lunar watch face running - in this case the time is 12:38 and the "new moon" is appearing in the extreme left of the screen. this representation of the moon phase is completely wrong
