Add a 24h sphere watch view, better with day % #382

With Wear OS, Android Watches and people using their phones as a watch ...

Those who like to track sun and moon rise and fall would love to have a 24h (instead of traditional 12h) sphere watch with several configurations.

One may be SUN + MOON 4 colors pie, SUN / SUN+MOON / MOON / NONE Other only marks on the edges for SUN and MOON rise and fall. Perhaps other with colors in the border. Add a day % sphere as an option "a la swatch time" would be also nice to have, even as a "boutade".

Also an ALTERNATIVE NEW "internet" LUNAR calendar, with 13 x 4 weeks "new months" as 13x4x7 = 364 and as the solar year is 365.25 days plus 1 extra "end of the year" day and every 4 years 2 instead of 1 to keep this normalized or LUNAR 4 week months calendar also synchronized with the solar one --- would be a nice OPTIONAL addition

Perhaps even with some multicultural month naming instead of old roman gods named ones or order one but plus 2 as the year began after February being September the 7th month, October the 8th November the 9th and December the 10th as their names indicate.

I think this SUGGESTION would be a great marketing tool for your apps.

As there is no 24h sphere watches for Android or even desktop OSs - I looked and I did not find any - not even as an OPTION and even less with this SUN and MOON information plus REGULAR 4 week "new months" (that would be a great help to keep track of fertile women regular periods) I think this features can be a great marketing tool for your application/s, and also a path to make it grows with add ons indicators inside the 24h / 100% day clock sphere, as may be a weather app that can show rain / no rain, wind changes waves changes or whatever parameters use to change along the day some persons would like to be able to have information about in one fast sight.

Thanks in advance for taking these SUGGESTIONS in consideration, even if you decide not to implement it yet, or never,

@mitcoes Have you checked if https://github.com/forrestguice/NaturalHour could be a start for your 24h sphere watch?
