Beta release FW 15.12 - Reduced font size in any app notifications

Marper
over 2 years ago

Since my watch has updated to FW 15.12, I have noticed font size has been reduced in any notification app, making reading difficult with such big display.
I have upgraded from 245 to 255 exactly to have a bigger display believing that I could read bigger fonts.
However, I've noticed in every new FW update Garmin has reduced font size.
I have to keep my glasses close when I running just to read the display when I'm training.
Such info should be easy to read and immediate.
Bigger fonts easier reading.

Garmin developers team should have athlete technicians wearing Garmin watches to feel what we feel.

Can you make font size bigger for next FW update, please?
Even in activities field names.

    If you look at the image on the left, this third party data field is perfect for my ageing eyes. I can read the numbers and just about read the titles. The Garmin data field on the right, by contrast, is much less clear. I can just about read the numbers but cannot read the titles at all. There is so much wasted white space. If third party developers can solve this then surely it must be possible for Garmin developers?!

    It should also be stressed that in the beginning the font sizes were mostly fine and these changes for the worse have been introduced with subsequent updates. Also, there already WERE some bugfixes at some point for the font sizes, but afterwards the problems were reintroduced or introduced in new places.

    All, 

    We have plans to fix the font size in a future software update. We do not have a timeline for the release, but I will be sure to update this thread accordingly!
