Readable watchface recommendation

I'm trying out Enduro 3 as my daily metrics tracker. Coming from Instinct 2x it was a bit of a shock that all stock watchfaces sacrifice readability and are very cluttered. For me checking the time require reading glasses while glances and other parts of the interface have large enough font.

Can someone recommend a good watchface with large time and space for a few other metrics? It would be amazing if it had sunrise time + sun position icon + sunset time complication that is possible on most of Instinct 2x faces.

So far the best I've tried is Big Simple from CIQ. The time is large enough but there's no graphical metrics. Something like SHN EDO, which has nice sun event graph, or SHN TXD II-E would be great if there was option for a bit taller time field.

My goal is to see basic metrics without needing to turn on backlight.

GLANCE by MobileDriveway. Best watchface I have ever used.

Find it HERE in the App Store

Thanks. Text is smaller than on SHN Edo. On the plus side font can be made thicker. I'll give it a try.

Data Lover is my favorite. I came from Instinct as well and found that watchface to be most readable

I like BIG Easy by MobileDriveway. I have made it white on black, to get the best readability.

If you like it, and don't think US$3.95 is unreasonable for some improvements, you can try thr GLANCE PRO version of the app.

FYI, in case any of these are of interest to you, these are the differences between the GLANCE and the GLANCE PRO:

List of differences between Glance and Glance Pro.
ADDED in Glance Pro:
+Touchscreen support (System 6 firmware required)

+Redesigned arc bars
+14 more color options
+Gradient under TIME color option
+New way to use shared color themes. Now there are 3 user theme string fields in options. Thise themes can be updated directly from the watch as before, or you can copy 3 different themes from the galery (https://www.mobiledriveway.com/glance_gallery.html) and apply later directly from your watch.
+Extra Wind speed units setting
+More consistent icons sizing across all watch models
+Trend indicator in Pressure metric

I use Fenix 7 - GB, as I pretty much liked that watchface on the Enduro 2 (where I was lookin for a similarly simple one to that of the instincts). Unfortunately I can not really find it now in the store for some reason.

Standard Garmin Enduro 3 Analog001 watch face. Change accent colour to Borealis Green. Simple, uncluttered and matches the watch.
