A timely read, as I just got a Fitbit Versa as a gift and have been exploring the watch faces.

The Fitbit store has tons of them, mostly just crap IMO - the Hallmark card of watch faces as it were, with a lot of variations of "cute kitty background". But there are a few gems, including one I found that's based on a Tokyo Flash design.

If you like abstract watchfaces for the Versa, you might want to checkout TTMM:

And this is why I will always advocate that piracy can be a reasonable and moral choice.

Honestly disgraceful asking for a subscription to watch faces.

The value proposition here is borderline irrational, targeting the financially apathetic or incompetent only. If I never would have paid for it, and it's of no cost to anyone to take it for free, why wouldn't I? Not that this is a desired enough thing to be on the pirate seas, but the point stands.

Were I to ever release paid software, I'd probably seed the pirate copy myself with links to a pay-what-you-want page to allow others to make the value judgement themselves.

Check out this developers stuff...

The developer (Nev Rawlins) used to design for Tokyo Flash apparently. Also, free.
