For those of us needing reading glasses, having the information displays showing a huge icon with small data is backwards of what we need.  For instance, with the step count, why not have the number of steps BIG and a small shoe icon?  Ditto for the other metrics - BIG heart rate number, and a small heart...etc.  Seems that this could be a simple software adjustment for the next update.  Love the device, but would like to be able to read it when in an active setting (without reading glasses).

@reading_glasses A warm welcome to our Community!

Thank you for your inquiry. Currently this isn't available but you can share your idea in our Feature Suggestions board. Search for the idea first to see if one already exists so you can add your vote. The more votes an idea gets the more likely the developers will try to implement it. 

Let me know how it goes.

Really, the "make a larger font" is open for votes and closed for comments?  Accessibility is a big deal for your audience of older adults attempting to stay in good shape.  We all need reading glasses to see the small details provided on our Fitbit - not conducive to the active lifestyle you're encouraging.

 

Here is my initial request...

Agreed. 51 and just replace a versa with this due to the heartrate not working anymore and don't need the smartphone features. That last line with  tracking on the clockface (all of them) have a tiny line at the bottom I can't see.

I really need that to keep me Motivated. If there's no way to change it, I'm going to return it.
