Galaxy Time: Samsung smartwatches to bring the relativity of planets and time closer

Clock faces on smartwatches are definitely an argument for a smartwatch over an analog watch: the clock faces can be easily swapped and adapted to your own preferences and needs. Samsung has now announced the release of several new clock faces that were created in collaboration with the European Space Agency, based on precise scientific data.

Galaxy Time is intended to make our solar system particularly tangible. But that's not all: even the relativity of time should be a little easier to understand on your own wrist with the clock faces. Each of the eight planets in the solar system has its own dial, which reflect the different rotational speeds of the planets and therefore the different lengths of the days. The individual clock faces also correspond roughly to the planets in terms of color, with Neptune shown in deep blue and Mars in red.

Users will also receive information about the planets, such as the course of the planetary seasons, the number of moons and the distance between the planets and the sun, as well as the distance to our earth. The exact position is displayed to the second. The new clock faces are not yet available, but are expected to be launched in time for the changeover to summer time on March 31.

Galaxy Time will be available in the Google Play Store from this date. Compatibility is limited to Galaxy Watches with the Wear OS operating system, such as the Galaxy Watch6.
