@Antoine can you show? On vertical 9 is perfectly correct for me

@Antoine
And? What is not correct?

@Tami999 can you avoid going off topic?

[pavel.samokha]

@Tami999 please write your requests to separate topic, it’s not related to K14 Watchface

[pavel.samokha]

@Antoine it looks correct to me, that’s how 9 should be rotated

@pavel-samokha
Maybe because it is not like displayed in the app?

Yes like that it looks okay. On our watches the 9 isnt in the Position as in this Screenshot. Looks like a 6 and not like the 9

[pavel.samokha]

@Mff73 the image in store is wrong, true

[pavel.samokha]

But indeed all that is confusing, not sure numbers changing direction is right at all. I’ll ask

[surfboomerang]

@pavel-samokha It is in line with all the other analog watch faces.
My personal preference however, would be non-rotating numbers

My favourite watchface at the moment!

@Stefano-M64 it was updated. Unfortunately we don’t have some built-in way to show updates in S+ store

maybe just a different badge in the watchfaces list?

Having quarters hours vertical could also free some space for complications

Yes, good answer . That was my remark. Indeed, it is not the same dispay (rotation) of the “9” in suunto app and in the watch. But true, the wrong dispay seems to be in Suunto App not in the watch.

Regarding how to rotate the 3 and 9: on technical drawings, text should be readable from the bottom or the right side. That would mean that the 3 should be turned around. See the first picture on https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_drawing – it shows the diameter dimensions should be read from the right (put your head on the left shoulder).

A watch face is not a technical drawing, but I find it quite sensible. For a more general discussion see https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/143242/how-do-you-decide-the-text-direction-when-written-in-vertical-direction

correct, a watch is not a technical drawing.
So many watches are using all upright numbers:

If numbers rotate around the center, then this is the watchmaker’s standard:
