Reading Display while running

[RogerGalvin]

Which one is the best for reading the display while running. I have a charge 2 and I cant read it very well at all because the readout is so small

Surge or Blaze - click the hash hash hash tower just under the fitbit logo in the upper left for a pop out of display sizes...

keep moving Roger!

Ok I don't currently have either one I have a charge 2.
My question. Can you set the timer to display in large font without have to
tap or do anything while you are running?

Closest feature to a "timer" on the Charge 2 is stopwatch:

Biggest difference between Surge & Blaze is the Surge is monochrome and has internal GPS. A Blaze has a brighter color screen; however, requires a tethered smart phone for GPS.

Here are the manual links: Charge 2    Blaze    Surge

Thanks for your response. I guess I didn't make myself clear. I have a charge 2 now and have used the stopwatch, but the display is too small for me to see it while running. I want to get one o the bigger Fitbits if the display for the timer/stopwatch is big enough to read. That's my question.
Is the timer display on the Blaze or the other big one enough to read while running.?

Only the Surge is full screen.
