Font size on notifications should be customizable

I have the Garmin Fenix 6 X Pro Solar and one of the things I like about it is the big screen. However, the font size on the watch notifications is too big for me. I feel like with a reduction in Font, I can easily read most of my notifications without the need to scroll. Ironically, some people feel like the font size is too small for them. It would be great if Garmin can have this as a setting so that people can make adjustments accordingly. This way we will be making better use of the screens. I don't know how to make this as a new feature request.

God bless you lol! I have even sent this as an ''idea'' to Garmin some months ago but to no avail after so many major updates....
Size is unecessary big, wastes space and demands scrolling frequently. The about screen shows off all the posibilities in different font sizes and just because it's all about personal taste, having this as an option in settings would be easy and perfect for all!

Cross your fingers that somebody from the team reads this post soon ;)

To be consistent, you would also need a possibility to customize any other texts displayed by the watch, which would lead to problems. To me, the current text size ir ok and it's not a problem to scroll down.

I hope Garmin adjusts this in a future firmware or system update. Some people like/want large font, some want smaller font, and it would seem to be a trivial change to add an accessibility option and allow people to choose for themselves what they prefer.

To take it a step further, if the preference can be linked to "activities" that would be even better. If I'm out cycling I probably want the larger font size. But at other times, like If I'm sitting with other people, I don't want everyone to be able to read my notifications so easily. And I'd rather be able to see more words in a single glance than have to scroll down to read more.

If you're OK, then I don't see the benefit of your commenting.

I know right? I see this over and over again across different threads here. At least be on board for giving users the option to configure it the way they like it. Good for you if you like it the way it is now.

I just upgraded from the Fenix3. With a slightly larger screen, I actually get a couple words less of readability because the font size has nearly doubled. Very disappointing
