What is the meaning of the number in the upper-right corner of the Watchtower screen? It appears to be a score of some sort, but there is no information about what the scale is or what determines the number.

I prefer no animation at all; it adds no value (for me) and is distracting/annoying.
I love this animation. 😁 - XIIISuper Contributor
Just a suggestion. Switching back and forth in Watchtower the score is animated every time even if nothing has changed. I would prefer some kind of caching, i. e. animate only if something has changed or after some time has passed.

Watchtower shows a score of 1141, the color ranges from green to blue and the 'arrow' is at 12 o'clock.
My score is higher, but the arrow is still at 12:00...

I'm wonderig how to interpret the number and color. Watchtower shows a score of 1141, the color ranges from green to blue and the 'arrow' is at 12 o'clock. I could only guess that colors like orange and red are some kind of warning and green or blue are good.

I’m guessing that it’s 1200.

Hey @JetLaw69
So good to see you using Watchtower! It’s always nice to see customers using it to strengthen their personal security (that’s why we built it, after all!).
The Watchtower score is our secret sauce – we use proprietary algorithms to calculate your score, so we don’t publish specific information on how that score is calculated on your device. It takes a pretty wide number of variables into account, but the gist is: to improve your Watchtower score, address the security alerts it provides, and watch your score rise! It looks like you're incredibly close to a perfect score. 🎉Ben
