Yes, please offer larger font sizes for the Ionic. At this point, I use the notifications on the watch merely as a heads-up to look at my phone. For those of us with older eyes, we really could use an increased font size.
Yes, bigger fonts. For me it is between the Vivoactive 3 and the Ionic and I think I’m going to have to return the Ionic even though I prefer it due to the small text fonts.
I wear reading glasses for close range, the font size for notifications are way too small, so when i get a message i cant read it (unless i wear my glasses which isn't practical while riding, running, walking etc.). Any chance to have the ability to adjust the font size please.
love my new Ionic, but definitely need to have an option to increase the font size...otherwise the notifications are useless and you can't glance at your metrics...swiping is an easy solution (double the font size and use 2 screens for metrics:-)
AFter the recent OS2 update for ionic, the Fitbit today menu for are are made too big. At least total steps and number of steps per hours should be visible on single screen like it was before.
this is most used screen for me and it’s messed up with latest update.
Since everything I have read says that there are no plans to add this feature to the Blaze I did consider the Ionic but if there is no plan to add font adjustment in the future then I will have to move out of the fitbit environment and to something with this feature. Many people had vision issues and without the ability to adjust font size you are neglecting a HUGE portion of the population.
I had a Galaxy Gear S2 and appreciated the ability to change fonts. I would like the option both for clock faces as well as text in content. I just got a Versa but the small text may not work for me.
Fitbit has, so far, shown no desire to meet the needs or requests of it's user base. I would love to be proven wrong but ask anyone with a pebble how they were taken care of.
I love my Versa. I pre-ordered it the day you guys announced it. I'm really happy with it, but I'm 47 years old and my eyes aren't as good as they used to be. My biggest "wish list" item is the ability to enlarge text on the screen. I used to have a Pebble and it allowed me to do this. I can't imagine that adding this feature would take too much coding. Keep up the good work.
Hello, I love my Fitbit Versa, however find it difficult to read notifications. I would like the ability to increase the text size. I know the small screen size is restrictive, but maybe when the text for notifications are enlarged, the text scrolls across the screen. Another possible presentation is to display the message one word at a time. This is how the Microsoft band functioned. The text was large and the speed at which each word appeared on the screen could be adjusted for readability. I have low vision and I hope that Fitbit considers such a feature to make Fitbit more accessible for all users. Thank you for your consideration.
Wow love the Versa, just wish I didn't need to struggle to read the notifications, I feel sorry for anyone with less than 20/20 vision. I'm 47 and don't need glasses yet however I'm going to need to purchase some just to read my Versa notifications!
