fenix chronos fonts

The latest SDK 2.2.4 User Experience Guide documents the fonts used on the new fenix 5 watches but has also been updated for the fenix chronos which was missing in earlier versions.

According to the guide, the fenix chronos and fenix 5s use the same fonts. But, according to the devices.xml and hence what you get in the simulator, the fenix chronos uses the same fonts as the fenix 3! Given the sizes of the fonts are different, especially when it comes to tiny and xtiny this makes a difference to what fonts to use across the devices.

So, which is correct? I assume that the UEG is wrong and devices.xml is correct, but can someone from Garmin confirm this please?
  • Hey gasteropod,

    It's a bit of a story, but basically the fonts listed in the devices.xml are correct at the moment. However, very soon there is going to be a change for consistency across device families to reflect the UX Guide documentation. In an attempt to get ahead of things we provided some information that was unintentionally misleading. As of right now the future implementation regarding TINY and XTINY font sizes will reflect the UX Guide.

    Thanks,
