Hello dear developers!
After a long-time tryout of any available Sun Watch watchfaces, I found that no one meet my requirements. I'm photographer and I have strong ideas based on my long-time usage of available Sun's faces, as well as other apps at the smartphone, and my photography practice.
Unfortunately, I'm not a developer (totally, yes), and I can't make this by myself. But maybe somebody want to working with this ideas? I can working with you together with a design and testing, and I can explain each ideas and features (for what it's need, at least)..
This is my draft of the "ideal sunwatch".

The basic info:
- Of course, the current date, week day, and time;
- the time of the additional time zone.
Technical info:
- phone and pebble charge rate. Both is important in the travel, especially if you are in the wilderness area far away from a power outlet; so I like to know![:)]( ":)")
- I don't worry too much about my Bluetooth and cellular connection when they are OK![:)]( ":)")
But I want to understand that I lost the connection, especially when I lost the cellular connection. So, I would be happy if my pebble will vibrate if I will lost the connection; and BT / CELL icons may displayed only if I have no connection, like indicator. If all OK, just a happy smile will be good ![:)]( ":)")
Weather info:
- it is not a very important in my opinion. But, at the other side, why not? My colleagues form 4PDA.ru pebble forum suggested to add the simple weather info in the center area, instead of the smile if no BT/CEL issue notifications presented. But if it is possible, it must be not the current weather but a prognosis for the next 2-3 hours. Just to be sure that you will not miss some important changes like storm alert / rain / snowfall etc announced in the last minute.
The SUN and MOON relative info.
- the exact time of sun/moon rise/set
- graphic representation of day, night, twilight and "golden hours" (the time before the sunset and after the sunrise starting/ending when the sun rise the altitude about 12 degree). The main sector show exact sunrise/sunset time and the ring around represent the "golden-twilight time" .
- graphic representation of the moon movements, in two ways. The dotted line inside the main sector represent the time of the moon visibility. The moon's icon show the moon position relative of the south, and two triangles mark the rise/set positions.
Additional bonus: compass possibility.
- is it is possible to "unlock" the whole disk (for example, by specific gesture) for compass-like usage, to determine real position of the shade sector, sun and moon over the horizon.
I posted this request initially here: http://forums.getpebble.com/discussion/comment/130371/#Comment_130371
But I think that it may be the different project, because the Sun Watch Pro is really solid project with a little different idea, and developer will not want to play with all this features.
