At least half of Fitbit users need bigger font sizes for messages, news etc. If I need to go grab my reading glasses, I might as well grab my phone and read it there. The beauty of smartwatches is that it allows you a quick glance, and when I glance at the versa, I can't read a thing beind the big-font main screen with hour, date and steps. And my glasses are only 1.25X. Just walk around the Fitbit office and ask everybody you find there who is over 43 if they can read their news and messages on their Versas.
Hi @seanpeter. Thanks for taking the time to explain why you'd like to have an option to adjust the font size of your device's display. This feature suggestion already exists, so I’ve moved your post here. While this isn't currently planned at this moment, we have left voting open so we can keep tracking this request overtime.

Hi I last posted in 2017 and today is 28 September 2019. Please provide support for Dynamic Text on IOS. There is no point in prancing about with iPhone and Versa when the in app (Fitbit App that is) display requires that I have to wear my reading glasses whilst working out. Tracking activity with Versa DOES require reading glasses UNLIKE Garmin which allows custom font sizes. Tracking activity via Fitbit App allows for voice feedback but not directly from Versa.
Oh by the way those waiting for the SP02 which was for “distant future implementation”, Garmin Vivoactive 4 has brought the future to us. Sorry Fitbit.
I do enjoy the Versa but future proofing is well future proofing.
Please give us the ability to increase the font size on our Fitbit tracker. I have a Versa Lite which I got for Christmas and am thinking of returning it because I can't read the small font on my text messages.

I am so disappointed in the inability to enlarge text when receiving texts and notifications. Super hard to see and I have to grab reader glasses to view them. Nobody wants to have readers while jogging or walking. My watch is supposed to make it easier for me to not to have to grab my phone. Big fail. Other watches have this feature. It is not like font sizes are a difficult feature to figure out. We have been doing it on every devise for many years now. Put someone on this and make an update. Absolutely ridiculous that your customers have to complain about this simple fix over and over.

Hey-Like many users, I have poor eyesight,(which is why I love the big screen on my Versa) But the last update seems to have reduced the font size:(
It would be sooo cool if users could program the font size/boldness (the way I can on my Iphone email and texting functions) then Versa would be way more user friendly for myself, and probably many other users. Versa would then get a bigger market share, for all ages/ abilities,and there is plenty of room on the screen:)
Remember, there are are situations that even those with better sight may be taking off their glasses to say, go in the pool?

Having used the Versa for around 36 hours I must admit there's one thing its crying out for,an option to increase the text size on screen which You can do on almost any smartwatch but I feel this may have been already suggested.

I am hopeful that Fitbit address the needs of those of us who wear readers. I love my Fitbit (Versa), but there is no way to increase the font. When I purchased it, I was told all I had to do was go into settings and adjust the size. Well, not so. There are a great many of us who would truly appreciate Fitbit addressing this issue.

Want the ability for the user to increase text font size, especially for notifications. I've found a good watch face installation for it, but still want to change the watch's built-in text sizes.

I am unhappy & surprised my post for increase in font size was disregarded & removed. You don't only cater to the young & you're missing a huge market. I am disappointed that something so simple on your tech end, isn't even a consideration. I can't verbalize my frustration, feeling slighted, & apparent demographic bias. Thanks - or not?

I'm sure I'm not your only fan who wears spectacles. To swim I must remove them, others will remove them for vigorous exercise. Consider large font, simplified display options for us. For instance, when swimming the number of completed lengths of the pool will be very helpful, as would clearer start and finish displays.

Please, please, please consider developing the option to enlarge the font on the watch screen for users. You literally have pages and pages of people requesting this feature which are being ignored. I’m on the verge of returning to my Sony Smartwatch which offers this rather basic option.
