Al-Ahly Football Soccer Face

A digital watch face in one deep red, with the eagle at the top in the light it is lit by — and it is written in Arabic.

The weekday and the month are Arabic words and every number on the dial is set in Arabic-Indic numerals: the clock, the date, the battery, your steps. It reads that way whatever language your watch itself is set to.

Everything the face writes is white. Not as a default but as the design: this dial is one red from rim to rim, so white stands on every part of it unaided — measured against the worst pixel each row crosses it runs close to eight to one and better — and nothing here needs a second colour, or a shadow behind it, to be read.

The clock carries no colon and no longer needs one. The hour and the minute sit one above the other, stepped across the dial, each over its own shadow.

The date reads down one side in two lines, right to left: the day and the month above, the weekday below. Under the clock, your heart rate and your step count.

Round the outside, the day's steps against your goal, as a white ring just inside the rim. It closes into a full circle when you get there.

At the right-hand edge, the battery as five dots and a reading. When it falls to a fifth, the last dot and the number both turn amber — the only mark on this face that is not white, and it is the club's own: it is the colour of the light behind the eagle. It has to be something, because a warning the colour of everything else is not a warning, and red is the dial itself.

TWO LAYOUTS, ONE FACE

Stacked is what it opens with — the clock described above. Classic is the other: one line across the middle, the hour set light and the minutes a weight heavier, with the date up under the eagle. Long-press the face and pick Customise.

WHAT IT SHOWS
• Hours and minutes, 12- or 24-hour
• Weekday, day of the month and month, in Arabic
• Heart rate
• Steps taken
• Step goal, as a ring around the dial
• Battery level, with a low warning

ON THE WRIST
The always-on display keeps the clock and drops everything else — dimmed, and drifting a few pixels each minute so no pixel carries a stroke for long.

Nothing else to set up. Install it, choose it, and it is the face.

A football (soccer) watch face for Al-Ahly supporters — الأهلي, the Red Devils, the Red Castle, Cairo, the Egyptian Premier League.

Requires Wear OS 5 or later. Heart rate needs the sensor permission, which the watch asks for once.
