Increase font size for Inspire family

[donper]

Just bought a new Inspire HR through my health insurance company.  Haven't used a fitbit in years since my original flex.  Never thought about font size since it didn't exist back then.  Now this one has watch and so many apps.  The problem is without wearing reading glasses, I can't read anything.  Its completely useless and annoying because it is always beeping and vibrating and I have no clue why.  Most people over 45 wear readers to see close up, this doesn't work because they don't wear readers when exercising or walking or they would trip. This might get returned before the week ends.

Although I love my fitbit I am considering returning it due to the small text size. Even with my reading glasses it is hard to read the options. Please make it where you have the option to enlarge the text. I noticed that others have suggested it before but you have not responded to their suggestions. All phones and most apps have this feature-why can’t you? Thank you.

I am coming from a Fitbit One (which I loved).  The Fitbit Inspire w/ the Clip Option is a mostly acceptable replacement for the Fitbit One (wish it had an altimeter so it could display stairs).  Outside of not being able to display Stairs, the other deficiency is that there is no Clock Face which displays the Steps in a reasonably large Font.  The Simple Stats and Heavy Stats Clock Faces display the Steps or other statistics in very small fonts.  You can't easily glance at the device and read them (such as when jogging and looking down at the device at your waist level).  The Fitbit One displayed the statistics in a MUCH larger font.  The best clock face seems to be Valerie.  It displays the clock in a kind of goofy font (but it is readable) and has the Steps or Calories displayed in a little larger font.  However, it is still small.  Create a clock face that displays the time in a medium size font and also displays one statistic (such as Steps) in as large of a font as possible.  Tapping can cycle through the statistics similar to Simple Stats.  Basically, Simple Stats but with a smaller clock and much larger font for the Statistics.  If you have to, make it to where the screen is rotated to use the space horizontally.  Just give us a clock face that displays the Steps (or other statistic) in a much larger font.  I want to be able to hit the button and read my steps easily like I did with my Fitbit One.  If it can still display the time in a readable font, that is a bonus.

For anyone without 20:20 vision it is not possible to view your stats on the Inspire as the font is too small.  I have just swapped from an Alta where you can tap through and see steps>miles, etc on separate screens.  When you tap through on the Inspire HR, every time you see the time in a large (readable) font and your stats (steps, heartrate, etc.) in a tiny font.  I find this useless as I want to see what my heartrate is while working out in the gym and don't want to take reading glasses into the gym.

Create a clock face for the Inspire similar to the Alta, so that you can actually see your stats.  After all if you only wanted to see the time you would purchase a normal watch rather than a fitness tracker.

For this reason I am extremely disappointed with my Aspire, but loved my Alta.

The font for the all items is tooooo small.   My husband, I and folks at work that have fitbit all complain about about the font size.  Is there a way to make the font more readable?   

Some of the folks at work have the Charge and also think the font is too small.

I see on this forum that this has been done for the Versa 2. Please can it be added to the Inspire HR.  It is very frustrating when using the device for swim tracking to have to keep hitting the button to review

Hi, I got my first Fitbit inspire, and very disappoint with the front size, I really like the size (I don't want to have a bigger watch) but is impossible to read when I do outdoor activities. I have been reading and looking for solutions but after diferent positive answers from the representatives I don't see any solution, so they really don't care about us. I'll return mine and I'll get other brand.

Make an option for all screens to be read in bold letters with larger font size.

Currently the heart rate screen on the Inspire HR is mostly a useless icon of a heart. The thing that should take up the most space is the actual number people want to read. Nobody is going to confuse their heart rate number with the time or number of steps - we don't need a giant icon of a heart to take up most of the screen space.

I just bought an Inspire. I realized immediately that the font is so small that I can't read the stats under the clock.

I'm interested in purchasing a fitbit for my dad who is 83. However, the numbers are small to read for seniors. I need a better display design with large numbers and is easy to read. I'm sure you can create a snazzy name.

When swiping to individual stats, the icon takes most of the screen space and the numbers are too small to read.
