Lanturne: Parent Safety Face

A watch face built for one job: to be readable, and to put help within reach.

The time fills the top of the face in large, high-contrast digits, so it can be read at arm's length without hunting for it. Underneath sits a Help button in the same place every time, which opens Lanturne and starts a call for help.

WHAT IS ON THE FACE

- The time, large, with the date above it
- Help, in the centre, always in the same place
- Heart rate on the left
- Steps on the right
- Battery below

The four smaller slots are ordinary complications. If you would rather see something else in one of them, press and hold the face and change it, the same way you would on any Wear OS watch face.

WHO IT IS FOR

Somebody who does not want to go looking for anything. Nothing here scrolls, nothing is hidden behind a swipe, and nothing changes position. The Help button is in the middle of the face because in the moment it is needed, the middle is the only place worth looking.

It suits an older wearer, and it suits anybody who prefers a watch face they can read without their glasses.

YOU NEED THE LANTURNE APP

The Help button opens Lanturne. Without the app installed, it has nothing to open.

Lanturne turns a smartwatch into a daily check-in and an alert: an adult child sets it up on their phone, the person wearing the watch just wears it, and the family is told about a fall, an SOS, a missed check-in or a watch that has gone quiet. Search for Lanturne on Google Play.

WHAT THIS WATCH FACE DOES NOT DO

It draws the time and it opens an app. It does not detect anything, it does not send anything, and it does not alert anybody. Every one of those belongs to the Lanturne app and the watch app beside it.

It reads no health data of its own. The heart rate and step counts on the face are ordinary Wear OS complications, drawn by the platform from whatever provider the wearer has chosen, exactly as they are on any other face.

Lanturne is not a medical device or an emergency service.
