VO2max widget running/cycling icons visibility

-- over 3 years ago

The picture isn't the clearest, but it illustrates quite well that the 'cycling' icon is very low contrast. For running it's the same. Is it supposed to look like this? I had not looked at this widget before, so I don't know if this is new since 19.10 or not.

It's visible as of 16.70 last stable firmware.

Mine’s still on 18.80 but interestingly has a black background for the same widget. The icon is a bit clearer being light blue on a black background but not much clearer. I have an analogue watcface with a white background so reversed that to black to see if changed the widget background to white. It didn’t.
it’s not a widget I look at too often mostly just look at the glance so no idea what it’s been like in the past

Thanks for checking this people! It's not a big deal but I was just wondering what the two different VO2Max values meant - until I saw the small light colored icons.

I'm on 18.80b and have the full widget, not the glance display. When you first get to the widget the background is black, with the blue icon quite clearly visible. If you then press the Start button you get to scroll through more performance data screens. It is here that the background turns white and the bike/run icons do indeed almost disappear. I don't recall exactly how things were prior to the latest betas, but I don't remember the icons being so faint previously.

Interestingly the icon is less clear on the widget glance than the widget despot eboth being on a black background.

The whole issue arose because I didn't understand the widget at first. I never paid all that much attention to VO2Max, but thought the Fenix 6 was maybe overestimating (compared to previous watch) so I had a look at the widget and there was the same number on different days. It took a while to realize they were for running and cycling. On the widget glance the icon is purple on black so that's not too well visible either.
