Blaze Font Size

[Ronald1]

Hi if my Blaze were just another watch i would not worry about numeral size. The center piece is the HR function yet that figure is tucked away in a corner. Is it possible to increase font size? Yes i tried the various faces but not all display as shown, Yes i have the latest firmware. If we age profile customers and find over 40 you can bet we have eyesight issues, i prefer not to walk or use elliptical with my reading spectacles. Thanks to any moderator in advance for help. I am kinda feeling that Garmin's Forerunner allows downloading font size, maybe i should have...

@Ronald1  Unfortunately there is not a way to increase the font size on the Blaze.  I, too, have to use my reading glasses to see most of the stats on the Blaze.  If I view the stats under the "Today" screen, they are a little larger to see, perhaps that will help you.

Also, the "Zone" face changes background colors based on HR zones you are in (with the HR number at the bottom) - maybe that would help give you an idea of where your HR is.

Hi thank you.

Perhaps i should explain. I am disabled Erbs Palsy left arm which means that i cannot press buttons. The rate of blood flow is diminished on left arm it feels colder to touch and i checked it with my gp. I bought the Blaze because (1) it was on special Rands 2999 and (2) it is supposed to auto track activity- i just got it yesterday. My main forms of cardio are Walking and Elliptical (my left leg is 12 millimeters shorter than my right). I hope the water resistance holds up. Thanks for Zone i will try that. Some of the other displays are not set for the screen size the given picture and what i see on my display do not match. The good news is Blaze measures HR the same as my mums medical grade pulse oximeter.

Hi Ransom on my iPhone 5s with all the latest firmware Zone shows steps not HR.Perhaps if we could identify "Main Goal" as HR that may change things. Also it seems that under settings i cannot leave USA lol. I do not have a Green Card, please don't tell INS ha ha Thanks again.

If you start an exercise activity on the Blaze, the individual stats each fill the entire watch screen. 

On the other hand, if you place your phone somewhere visible whilst on the elliptical, you can see live stats on the app.

It's great to see you around @Ronald1, @jmattwood and @Kmransom123 thanks for stopping by.

As mentioned, there's not an option to change the font size, I recommend taking a look at the Adjustable font size on Blaze request, vote for it and leave your comment.

Catch you later.
