I am new to Versa and cannot read my text messages as they are too small. Please let us have the option to increase text size. So far I am thinking I should have bought the Apple watch instead.
I have today purchsed a Versa and was told i could adjust the text face, this i now find out is not the case. Is this option going to be soon or do i need to return my watch asap?
Hi @Jmacdon1, thanks for explaining why you would like to have this option. I've moved it into a similar suggestion which has a lot of votes. As the more votes and comments an idea has the more visibility and momentum it gains. You can learn more about how Fitbit decides what suggestions get released in our FAQs.
This post has been going on for well over a year now, how many votes/comments are needed until something that seems obvious to have as an option is implemented???
Re adjusting font size 'go to solutions' - I would not call this a solution - a vote. I have numerous products that allow the user to adjust font size. this does not encourage anyone with bad eyesight ie many seniors to buy your product. Be great if you implement the feature. thank you.
Another vote for ability to have larger font sizes to read heart rate and notifications text.
I was so looking forward to my new Versa after my old fitbit, but am so disappointed that if I want to look at anything beyond the clock I have will have to stop what I am doing and put on my reading glasses. The text is just too small.
I agree that the font size for notifications needs to have the ability to be enlarged. Love the watch so far but I don't want to have to pull out my readers just to read a notification.
I agree. Many of us have a hard time with a small font, so please update the app so we can read our notifications. Other smart watches have this option, but I would like to stay with a Fitbit.
I started this post almost a year ago and still no word from Fitbit I too now am considering the Apple Watch . A friend showed me his and increasing message font size is so easy More expensive but at least I can read my messages Surprised Fitbit don’t listen to their customers Poor form and a great way to lose business.
Would love to be able to adjust font size in Versa for text; notifications as well as larger font on clock to see steps, heart rate...this would eliminate having to put glasses on and off
Good reminder to vote, and I also see that there are at least 8 other posts with similar suggestions. Fitbit doesn't seem to have responded since last March, so not sure what their policies are on updating these suggestions, but there sure seems to be a lot of interest from those of us trying to stay in shape (get in shape?!??!) who could use some help for aging eyeballs! C'mon Fitbit, let's hear from you. If this continues to be ignored, some might begin to suspect ageism!!
Hello @Spalmer98! Thanks for sharing this suggestion, I moved it to this similar post so you can add your vote to it. Please keep sharing your ideas with us!
The pebble had the option to increase text size. Silly that the fitbit versa doesn't (yet). The pebble was a far better smart watch and would still be better if I could buy it again. It did all the simple things really well and catered for the older generation.
Cool me on Versa. All you have to do you is duplicate the pebble and you have a hit!
