It it optimised for both round and square watches. You can select the temperature unit (C/F) and the color scheme from its configuration panel, accessible from the Android Wear app by clicking on the watch face.

It supports most Material primary (code 500) colors, so you can change it to pink if you feel like a Material Girl!

Location and weather information is only updated every 2 hours, so battery usage should be very minimal.

The date is localised and supports both 12 hour (am/pm) and 24 hour formats.
Weather information is localised in the following languages: bs, de, en, es, fr, it, nl, pl, pt, ru and tet. In other languages, weather will show in English.
