After tinkering around for a while, I'm finally releasing the first version of my Sliders Timer watch face.

Do you remember the TV show Sliders? This one's for you. Modeled after the iconic timer cooked up in Quinn Mallory's basement, this watch face is a faithful recreation of the show's recognizable device. Of course, instead of counting down to when the next wormhole opens, this watch face shows the current time.
Here's what it does so far:
-Abbreviated GEnSEr sequence upon watch face startup.
-Greek labels (DELTA, TAU, ZETA) with rotating animated light pattern.
I've decided to label this initial release 0.8 because it's missing some key elements that I still need to figure out: animating the two status bars on the right and animating the 00:00:00 'chaser' sequence that popped up after the GEnSEr boot, double-flash of the : between digits every second.
Please note I haven't seriously coded in about 10-years, so not only is this watch face likely inefficient but I'll be the first to admit it needs work. I've ran this face for a week and I know it does suck some battery, but I'm getting 5-days. This is partly due to the animations and boot up initialization animation. I know some people release 'lighter' versions, but I will not be doing this. Improvements will actually ADD elements that will require more redrawing, but it will also make this more accurate.
Feel free to ask any questions or comment. I hope you enjoy the watch face!
