Samsung Galaxy Watch users can now take their timekeeping to the cosmos with the release of new Galaxy Time watch faces. Developed in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA) and Leo Burnett Deutschland, this collection lets space enthusiasts clock in the hours and locations of all eight planets in our solar system, and even those of our very own moon.

Each Galaxy Time watch face is designed for a specific celestial body, featuring a unique clock display that reflects the planet’s rotation speed. This means you can see how much faster or slower time ticks on Mercury compared to Earth, or how long a day lasts on Jupiter.

Beyond the time displays, Galaxy Time rings in some stellar planetary facts, letting you take in the distance between Earth and Mars, how many moons orbit Saturn, and so on, with a quick glance at your wrist. The watch face even tracks the real-time position of each planet within the solar system.

With ESA’s help, the data presented on the Galaxy Time watch faces is reliable—adjusted to the respective lengths of days of neighboring planets—and reflects current astronomical understanding. For instance, time moves much slower on Venus, where one day is equivalent to 243 Earth days.

The Galaxy Time watch faces are free to download from the Google Play Store and are compatible with Samsung Galaxy Watch models running Wear OS, specifically the Galaxy Watch 4 series and later.
