Pro Optimized for both round and square watches
Cons
Con Initial spin makes it hard tell time with a quick glance
Each time checking the watch all the planets spin wildly before settling into position. It can be distracting and arguably unnecessary.

Eats the battery at about 3 times the rate of the standard watch face.
Con A bit hard to tell the time
Since there are no indications for hours, it's possible to misread the time by +/- an hour.
