Daggerheart console revision 2 with some design changes and tweaks from feedback and suggestions.

Swapped out the dry erase section of max stat values for the square max cap sliders.

Added both text and icons as well for clarity.

Update: I got the #AmazfitBalance! Ordered yesterday from #Keskisenkello and received it today, already loving it after 10min of fiddling. Nice big watch face but not bulky (thick) or heavy. Plus I've always loved a big round watch :)

#Upyourgame

The just unboxed Amazfit Balance watch with "Up your game" printed on the round display protector.

Wearing the watch on my right wrist with the default watch face that has a dark background and analog clock hands.

Changed to a watch face that displays a digital clock with additional info such as local weather and health metrics.
