Sparkler Night: Anime Watch

An animated anime watch face for Wear OS. A girl in a yukata glances back at you from the riverbank, and every time you raise your wrist, a sparkler writes the time in the air, stroke by stroke.

Behind her, pixel-art fireworks bloom over a lantern-lit river town.

THE SKY NEVER RESTS
• Fireworks rise from behind the rooftops all night long: chrysanthemums, peonies, rings and golden willows, each in its own place and color.
• Every burst lights the rooftops and her hair, and the biggest leave their light shimmering in the river.
• When the minute turns, the sparkler writes the new number and a fresh volley goes up.
• On the hour, the whole sky fills for a grand finale.

THE RIVER COMES ALIVE
A lantern boat glides along the river with its lights trembling in the water. Floating lanterns drift past on the current, windows in the town flicker as someone passes behind the paper, fireflies wake in the grass, and a star catches the light as you raise your wrist.

SHE'S THERE WITH YOU
She breathes, and blinks when you least expect it. Tap her and the scene cuts to a close-up of her smile, with fireworks blooming in her eyes. Tilt your wrist and the sky, the town and the girl shift at different depths.

TAP AND WALK
• Tap the sky and a firework goes up where you tapped.
• Five lanterns light one by one as you walk, with your step count beneath them.
• Reach your step goal and hearts, stars, smiley faces and cats join the show for the rest of the day.

ALWAYS-ON
When your watch rests, the festival becomes a quiet moonlit line drawing: thin gold numbers, the date, the town's window lights and her outline.

MAKE IT YOURS
Touch and hold the watch face, then choose Customize or Edit:
• Firework colours: Festival, Kamuro gold, Sakura or Aurora
• Show: Festival, Quiet night (fewer, gentler fireworks) or Grand finale (the full show, all the time)
• One complication above the time, showing your battery by default
The time follows your watch's 12- or 24-hour setting, with the weekday and date beneath it.

OPTIONAL PHONE SETUP
Sparkler Night · Setup, on your Android phone, helps you install the face on your watch, select it, change its look and keep it up to date, with a link to Pixelpond support.

GOOD TO KNOW
• To switch to it, touch and hold your current watch face, choose Add watch face, then Sparkler Night. Menu names vary by watch.
• Installing the phone app does not install or select the watch face.
• Your steps come from your watch and stay there.
• No Pixelpond account or other app is needed; the watch face works independently.

REQUIREMENTS
• The watch face requires Wear OS 6 or later.
• The optional phone Setup requires Android 7.0 or later.
