Ukiyo Wave Japanese Watch Face

Japanese art meets a distinctive way of telling time.

Ukiyo Wave is a digital watch face for Wear OS featuring sweeping ocean waves, Mount Fuji and Arabic numerals arranged in an unusual vertical layout.

Hours sit above minutes in expressive, calligraphic-style digits. Japanese labels complete the composition, combining familiar numbers with a distinctly Japanese atmosphere.

ART THAT MOVES

Inspired by the ukiyo-e landscapes of Hokusai and Hiroshige, Ukiyo Wave brings depth to its artwork through parallax movement. Foreground waves, distant waves and Mount Fuji move on separate levels, giving the scene a subtle sense of perspective.

STEPS WITH A FLUID ANIMATION

A discreet, liquid-style animated indicator shows your progress towards your daily step goal. It blends into the artwork, adding a small visual reminder to keep moving.

THREE COMPLICATIONS

Manage steps, calendar and weather through three dedicated complications. The weather display is integrated into the upper part of the illustration, keeping useful information within the scene.

FOUR COLOR STYLES

Choose crisp monochrome, ocean blue, warm sunset tones or soft violet. Each palette gives the waves and Mount Fuji a different mood, with red accents highlighting the time.

A QUIETER ALWAYS-ON DISPLAY

The Always-On Display simplifies the composition to the time, date, Mount Fuji and the Japanese phrase 一日一歩 — “One step a day.”

FROM ITALY, WITH LOVE FOR JAPAN

Created by Demand Group, Ukiyo Wave grew from an Italian designer’s admiration for Japan and its art.

It is a personal tribute to the power of Japanese waves, the balance of its landscapes and the beauty of carefully chosen details. Made in Italy, with the hope of sharing that affection with people in Japan and Japanese-art lovers around the world.
