Tracker with Larger Fonts?

[mbutts4901]

My wife and I have owned Charge 3 trackers for a couple of years and find the font WAY too small (I am aware of how to change faces and that there's no way to change the font size on this device).

I'm in the process of returning a couple of massive Garmin Venu 2 smartwatches because the font is too small on everything but the time.  Yes, there's no way to change it on that brand, either.

Does Fitbit offer a tracker for people over 40 that can't read microscopic fonts for steps, heart rate, etc.?

Hi @mbutts4901 - I’m sure many people feel your pain in this matter. I searched the available watch faces for “Large Font” faces on the Versa 3 and Sense. Below are a couple I found.  Sadly, there is no way to enlarge the details of the font when you swipe away from the clock face. And there is not a Fitbit device designed for large fonts overall. But here is my solution older eyes:

 - Use a watch face on the smart watch that displays a larger font.

 - To see other details not on the clock face, look at the Fitbit app on your smartphone because on the phone, you can adjust the font to be larger, brighter contrast, bold and more. Last piece of advice - if you want to try the Versa 3 or Sense, pick it up at a local Best Buy, Costco or other retailer that has a good return policy. Try it for a couple days to see if it works for you.

It’s a good time to be a “baby boomer!” 

This one is called “Daily Essentials”

This one is called “A Big Large Font”

What do yo think?

Thanks, @Carol_B!  I've also been poking around the Garmin site and it appears the only way to "fix" the issue is to locate someone else's custom watch face or to dust off my programming skills (and they're VERY dusty!) to put something together.

I will take a look at the FB smartwatches to see if there's something off-the-shelf that works for me.

I appreciate your help!

I am experiencing the same issue. I have seen numerous complaints in many forums about this issue, yet Fitbit has done nothing to correct it. I want to be able to cycle through and see stats like #steps, distance, calories burned, and heart rate each displayed individually (similar to my old Alta HR — although its display was hard to read in sunlight), so that I can actually read the numbers without my low prescription reading glasses. What Fitbit has chosen to display individually seems ridiculous to me.
