Increase font size for Inspire family

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.

Hi... I'm wondering if there is a way to increase the font size on the Inspire HR, so that it displays current HR, steps, and distance in a larger font. I simply can't see things displayed without my reading glasses (older guy...) and I'd really like to be able to check things while exercising.

Hi @lkeyes. Thanks for taking the time to explain why you would like to be able to increase the font size of your Inspire HR. This idea was already requested in the Feature Suggestions board, 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 over time.

I purchased an Inspire2 after my Alta HR died. The Alta was far better in being able to read the text.
I'm not sure who tests your products but I cannot be people with pretty good near vision. There is definitely room on the screen to have larger heartbeat readings, steps, calories, etc. Why didn't you use it in one of the faces?

Please make the font for the numbers on the Inspire Fitbits bigger like they were on the Alta, they are too small to read and defeat the purpose of a tracker

Just purchased the Aspire 2 and I looked up about font size. The last comments from people and fitbit are from 2019. It is now 2021. Is there any looking into making the font larger on the face of the Aspire 2. If not I would like to know so I can return this product. It is no good to me when I can't even read what the thing is saying.

Just got my Fitbit. I bought this to monitor my heart rate while exercising and I need to use a magnifying glass to see the numbers. I am older so small fonts are harder to see.

Have you tried a different clock face with larger heart rate numbers? There are a few clock faces with some large numbers.

I like my Inspire 3 but why is the data display info so tiny? I didn't buy this for time management so having a huge time display is worthless. This device is sold for monitoring your vitals and not being able to see them easily really lessens the usefulness of the device. Loose the time feature or make it small then have the health data fill the d
