A warm welcome to the Community, @NetworkGuy.

 

Regarding your inquiry, like Charge 2, there are many clock faces to choose from for the Charge 4, but you will not be able to adjust the font size for viewing stats.

 

If you need anything else, let us know. 😉

I am trying to find out if I can make texts show up larger - the font is so small I cannot read it - not the clock face text, but notifications.

Best Answer

what I am trying to find out is if I can enlarge the text for notifications
- texts, etc. Not the clock face.

How the text size (not clock face) compare to the Charge 2? Is it the same, bigger, smaller?

Best Answer

Hi @bethintexas and @NetworkGuy. It's great to see both of you here in the forums. I'm sorry for the delayed response.

 

Thanks for sharing your thoughts about the font size and let me help you with your questions. About the information posted by @AlejandraFitbit, some clock faces will have a different font size or style to show your stats and the rest of your information. Currently we don't have an option to increase the font size in a specific clock face or the notifications. Every feedback is always welcome and let me advice you to post this request in the Feature Suggestions board so the development team can take it into consideration.

 

If you need anything else, let me know!

@LizzyFitbit @AlejandraFitbit  Please STOP talking about clock faces.

 

My question was "What is the font size of the Charge 4 compared to the Charge 2?" Is it the same, larger or smaller?

People have been asking for an adjustment to the font size on the Charge for a few years and Fitbit is not listening. I have been a loyal Fitbit customer but I am now switching. 😞

Best Answer

What are you switching to? I have not found any trackers/smart watches that have adjustable font size?

I just bought the Charge 4, because my Charge 2 had a cracked screen, but will probably be returning it for another Charge 2. I like the options the new one has, but except for the clock face, I can’t read any of the information without running to get my reading glasses. Very disappointed.

My story too.  Thanks

The text for incoming text messages is much smaller. I just got the Charge 4 this week. Had the 2. I can't read the text at all without my readers, which is extremely unfortunate. I wish I would have known this before buying. It might be going back.

I returned mine! Loved the look but the messaging was one of the reasons I
bought it.

I ended up returning mine also. Just wasn’t working for me with the tiny
text.

Please make the font larger!  

Best Answer

Too small to read

Best Answer

I would like to see a change in the options for Fitbit 4 Charge. I too need a larger font because the notifications shows the messages in small font. It's hardly readable it's so small.

Best Answer

Just got the Charge 4 for my birthday after using my Charge 2 daily for years. The first thing I noticed after getting it all set up is that the font on notifications is SO tiny! Glad I found this forum of other people having the same issue. Please community managers continue to pass this feedback on to developers. The device is awesome but this one setting would make the world of difference!

Best Answer

Same here. Please add another request for a larger font. I need reading glasses to see the battery percentage and most other items. Luckily, I can see the time & date in one of the clock faces without glasses. The large font for distance and time make the device usable for those of use over a certain age. Clearly this was designed by someone under 40. 😏
