Conditionals are the most complicated and dynamic way to create a watch face.

They take this form:

$ EQUALITY TEST ? EXPRESSION IF TEST IS TRUE : EXPRESSION IF TEST IS FALSE $

The first space is for our equality test, which is going to equal true or false. There are five types of operators available:

OPERATOR	DEFINITION	EXAMPLE EXPRESSION	EXAMPLE OUTPUT
= or ==	Is equal to	(1=1) or (1==1)	true
!=	Is not equal to	(1!=0)	true
>	Is greater than	(2>1)	true
<	Is less than	(0<1)	true
>=	Is greater than or equal to	(2>=1)	true
<=	Is less than or equal to	(0<=1)	true

Now let's make our own. We'll fill it in step-by-step. Let's start with a blank slate. We'll develop a conditional to use for the Transparency attribute. All of the those dollar signs and question marks look confusing at first, but you'll get used to them (if you have a programming background, you probably already recognize the ternary operator!):

$____________?_:_$

Now let's fill in that spot with a simple example. We're going to make an expression that will make a layer appear only before noon. This expression would be added to the opacity attribute of the layer. We'll use the #Da# and check if it's "AM":

$#Da#==AM?_:_$

Next, we'll fill in the EXPRESSION IF TRUE part of the conditional. When #Da# == "AM" is true, we want our layer to appear, so we'll want the opacity to be 100:

$#Da#==AM?100:_$

Lastly, we'll fill in the EXPRESSION IF FALSE part of the conditional. When #Da# == "AM" is false, we want our layer to disppear, so we'll want the opacity to be 0:

$#Da#==AM?100:0$

That's it! You just created your first conditional.

Now some advice:

Don't use " marks before and after texts used in conditions.

Don't use spaces (" ") before and after part of conditions (wrong: $ #Da# == AM ? 100 : 0 $ right: $#Da#==AM?100:0$)
