Option for Landscape Mode on Charge 3 screen orientation

It would be nice to have an option to pivot the screen on the Charge 3 to Landscape screen mode, as opposed to its default portrait mode. All of the same functions should fit equally as well, just oriented 90 degrees differently. This orientation is especially helpful when wearing the Charge 3 on the inner wrist.

A landscape screen option would be a massive improvement for myself.  I also wear on the inner wrist and the landscape orientation would allow for larger/bolder fonts to help with screen visibility issues in sunlight.  How do we make this happen?

One of the things that isn’t compatible with most other apps is the option to view in landscape mode. 
it’s so much easier to View, read and write in landscape and will make the use of the app so much easier.

is this a major issue to overcome ?

Yes!  Please add yoga as active minutes.

 

Thank you

The absence of landscape mode is what is keeping me from buying a fitness tracker. Like many people my age, I wear reading glasses - but not while hiking! Having the clock and distance screens in landscape mode, with the numbers as large as will fit on the screen, is what I'm waiting for. I don't need day/date or any other info on the clock screen, just "12:34" as large as possible. And if you just look at a string like "12:34" or "10.0 mi" - it pretty much screams landscape, doesn't it? I even had a quick look at the Fitbit SDK to see if I could do it that way, but looks like that won't work either.
