For those who know Garmin well, what are the chances of them providing more options for displaying the activity data fields in future updates... specifically in relation to font size and weight, and the option to not display field names for every field (useful for some fields, not necessary for others)?
My eyesight is not 20/20 but not far off, but the size of the font (determined partly by the inclusion of the field names) and the weight renders a lot of the data almost unreadable in some layouts when running (i.e. quick glance at a moving target) ...
For example, the info in the little circle is almost always unreadable unless very simple (e.g. heart rate) - and whilst this is to be expected perhaps, on the watch face they manage to get the day and date in there quite clearly, making better use of the space and using bolder fonts. Similarly, if using a stacked or side-by-side 4-field layout (effectively 3, given that the circle has limited functionality) the fonts are too fine (they don't need to be, the field is wide) and restricted by the field name. The 5-field layout has a very small field at the bottom that is basically unreadable when running, but probably wouldn't be if the font were a bit heavier. Lose the field names and you'd have a much clearer display on the small screen. Again, on the watch face they use bolder fonts for the time and the minor data fields (battery etc) which are much more visible.
Basically, the 2s is ideal for me re. size / weight, and I prefer the more utilitarian style compared to the Fenix (which seems too nice to use in the wild, and feels too heavy ... I'd spend all my time worrying about bashing it up) - but the data display is just not as good as it could be (regardless of the screen size).
So... what are the odds of this changing?
