There's some available straight out of the box at typography 

This also has details for how you can download fonts, if you like...

I did see that page, thank you. But i see a lot of other cooler fonts
being used on watch faces that others have made. I only see the same few
fonts to use. Then on the download page it looks like the same 3 again but
2 of them are for purchase. I'm confused still, sorry for being annoying.
thank yoU!


*Thank you!*

Be careful about intellectual property rights; most fonts aren't public domain.

If you are looking for a font, try searching for 'free fonts download', filtered for usage rights: "labeled for reuse with modification".

There are lots of fonts freely available for use, just make sure you don't use one with copyright or licensing restrictions.

Apologies, my watch faces use the plain vanilla fonts, so my experience with this is on other platforms.

With Fitbit, I think you load the ttf file into your resource directory.

Yes, you're very right about that. It is easy to get in trouble unless you are specifically looking to avoid it.

Happily, there have been a lot of folks willing to produce some very nice alternatives. And, it is better to seek out the alternatives up front rather than after the cease and desist letter. 😲
