Option to add different cover & hero image per device group

Fitbit provides a great way for doing this

If the "great way" for doing this is the "great way" I am thinking of, I think I would rather not.

They have six devices covering three screen shape/size combos in one product group with a single screen technology... If I remember correctly, it is possible to cover all of them by uploading just three images.

Garmin has 98 devices covering nineteen screen shape/size combos in three product groups with three disparate screen technologies... Methinks it may be better and a higher priortiy to instead allow a larger number of screenshots and some formatting of the product description!

That's a big difference on Fitbit indeed. But then still it would be a very nice optional addition for Garmin. I think it would rather need to be a feature that you can upload a default image, and then upload additional once for some exceptions per device group. With divide group I mean: Venu, Venu SQ, Fenix, Forerunner, Instinct, Edge,... But indeed, more screenshots will help as well, but I don't think people always scroll through those before downloading something.

Not certain those groupings make sense.

For watch faces, I guess you might want to separate AMOLED (round) from Transflective (round) and Amoled (square) from... well there is only Venu SQ at the moment... and then semiround, rectangle are CIQ 1 & 2 which I guess you may not care about so much any more (although FR735 still seems to be selling...).

For widgets and apps... well, that includes Edge and hand-held so... you need everything.

And for DF... pretty much everything is a rectangle apart from the things that are not rectangles and are clipped and the things that are Instinct2's mini-circle.

I do agree that it would be nice to be able to do more in the way of making a product listing actually useful and enticing to people reading it, but...

And it's not just AMOLED and MIP, you got things like colors - the Edge130/130+ are B&W, as are the instinct2/2+.  While many folks use sim pictures in the store, I'm not sure what a good way to show AMOLED vs MIP there, as a color on a MIP device looks like the same color on an AMOLED display in the sim.

I have been adding screen shots of the Instinct2/2s when I port an app, as the sub screen can impact where things are, and to show how the subscreen is used, etc, as it's very different than how a "normal" round or square watch looks. but that's just changing one of 5 images other than the main one..

Actually, I doubt lots of users even look at all 5.

I have documented cases where users don't read past the title and install button.  Somehow they still manage to find the contact developer button to ask a question that is right in the first few lines of the description.
