Inspire 3 accessibility needs for clock face

Accessibility requirement.  

New clock faces urgently required for older people with poorer eyesight.

I love my new inspire 3 fitness watch.  

Of all the good things it does, it is let down by one serious problem. Visibility of the screen characters for people with less than perfect eyesight. We all get older and one unfortunate thing is that eyesight deteriorates with age. A fitness watch is becoming a necessity as we age.

But it is no good if you cannot easily read the information on the screen.   

What is needed is a simple watch face which allows the user to toggle between key information with a simple tap.

The Highlight and Simpler watch faces have extremely visible time characters. In particular the Highlight face is good. It could very easily be improved for accessibility and sight reasons by the following:

Keep the existing time screen as the characters are good and visible. 

Keep the current ability for the screen to come on with a flick of the wrist as if wanting to read the screen. 

Once the screen comes on, make it so single taps toggle to different parameters with the key information required in LARGER text size. E.g. 1st tap to toggle to a full screen readout of steps, 2nd tap to toggle to full screen heart rate, 3rd tap to calories, 4th tap to distance etc. These taps could be user customisable.

The key point though is that each parameter when shown on the screen is shown in a large font size that is easily readable and NOT as SMALL text under a large clock.

Hopefully that makes sense.

This would change an excellent product to a stunning product. Anyone at Google listening?

Many thanks
