Samsung unveiled new watch faces for its Galaxy Watch devices. The company released watch faces for our solar system for the first time with Galaxy Time for smartwatches. The latest watch faces display the time on several solar system planets. The eight planets are represented by a total of eight watch faces.
The European Space Agency (ESA) and the South Korean tech giant collaborated to produce these watch faces, which they named Galaxy Time. The new watch faces not only display the current time on the planets but also provide additional useful details about these astronomical bodies. Rethinking time and clocks was necessary to build the concept, which was created by the creative agency Leo Burnett Germany. A simple watch face design was created from the intricate data. The Galaxy Time smartwatch design was mostly developed by creative brand consultancy Metadesign in Berlin.
The company in its announcement said, “Samsung is releasing watch faces for our solar system for the first time with Galaxy Time for smartwatches. In collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA), Samsung has developed a watch face for the Samsung Galaxy smartwatches that allows real-time data from our solar system to be accessed directly on the wrist. Just in time for the daylight saving time change on March 31st, Galaxy Time for Galaxy Watches with Wear OS is available in the Google Play store.”

The Samsung Galaxy Smartwatch’s Galaxy Time watch faces allow users to experience the rhythm of the neighbouring planets- Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune in our solar system every second. ESA scientist Dr. Melanie Heil said, “Planetary times make it possible to understand the relative nature of time and broaden horizons in everyday life.”
According to the company Samsung developers rely on ESA measurements to produce great precision for the Galaxy Time watch faces. A simple design has been created from the data on the rotation speed and orbit of the eight planets around the sun. Moreover, a separate clock face was developed for each planet. Time moves like our 24-hour system, either quicker or slower. Galaxy Time also provides users with wide insights into our solar system, including the distance of neighbouring planets from the Sun and Earth, the number of their moons, their exact position every second and the planetary seasons.
