      @mikekoski490 Yes, I have really considered it. Furthermore, the Race is a watch that I love on all levels. But its size is excessive for my small wrist. 🤛

        @Mff73 Thanks! Yes, Ive thought of that but it bugged me to waste a data field for ‘time of day’ when its embedded already at the top of the watch.

          did you try the Race in real life on your wrist and checked the sharpness of the screen?
          I find it very comfortable and despite me having big wrists I would say it would be a good compromise between size and your benefit of a bigger and sharper screen

            There was an update for the s9pp that improved the fonts as much as possible. It’s not possible to just increase a font size especially in sport modes.

            There is a sport mode customization and a Suunto plus that allows to fix this issue.

            However I am not sure if the request is for sport modes or just generic.

              Yes please to larger fonts. Eyes starting to lose up-close focus and my arms aren’t getting any longer. I have an interim solution: I found a product called “Hydrotac” on Amazon that are stick-on (to glasses) magnifiers that I have cut down to a very small size and have stuck one on the bottom of my left lens of my sunglasses. If I look down at my watch through that little “sticker”, I can read my watch! Ideally, the watch would have adjustable font sizes, but for now this is OK.

                Regarding the font size
                The suuntopuls “big numbers” shows three data fields. It would be very nice if it would be possible to determine in advance what data it will show. For example, I don’t want to see the time on this screen. It’s more interesting to see a pulse - in addition, giving the option to add three suuntoplus screens will help a lot in using this screen and more. Two other data screens are very effective

                  Am I the only one who’d like slightly smaller fonts with the bigger margins instead?

                    @Łukasz-Szmigiel In my particular case it is not so much about the size of the fonts of the data fields, which with their size/space ratio gives a clean and orderly appearance.

                    It is mainly due to the rest of the size of other texts. Such as the time itself, turn indications, notifications, structured work texts, those of the new altitude section screen, etc.

                    Because statically and on the couch, okay. But running, cycling or whatever, with the reflexes, the oscillations and so on, they are almost impossible to read.

                      @enriqueescoms well, it is certainly hard to have one interface that suits small and larger watches.

                      There are places - like in the new vertical navigation - that reading the grade while having the watch mounted on the handlebar is unlikely when in motion.

                      It seems as if the tooth at the bottom was super large but the area in the top - very small to accommodate all the data.

                      There is a large disproportion between the two.

                      Perhaps it’s going to be improved in the future as it’s the very first public version.
