Poor watch faces

[dankcushions]

it’s not a zero-sum game.

of course, there are overloaded garmin watchfaces (that some people like), but crucially, there are also minimalist watchfaces, and everything in between. the argument is for the choice. or, even better - suunto opening up watchfaces to third party developers so they can fill any gaps left by the stock watchfaces (with strict quality control)

curiously, the data-heavy watchfaces are typically the most downloaded on the garmin connect store, so the most popular watchface type on the most popular sports watch would seem to be something suunto should emulate if they want to be successful, whilst of course still catering for the minimalists.

Hi, I tried to design my own WF. They refer to the increasingly popular Czech Trail (Stezka Českem)
Please take it with a grain of salt. I am not a graphic designer. The complications are random, they are just to give you an idea…

@Pavlas well done. a lot of information if you need/want them but still it’s very clean. Hey Suunto!!! Copy this!!!

[Pavlas]

@HoBart Thanks a lot!

Looks great! I may only change top and put there bar for HRV/steps/ TSB etc.

the font size of the complications is way too small to be readable imho

@Pavlas
Why don’t we keep creating watch faces we’d love to see and share them here in the forum? It could be a great way to inspire Suunto and show them what we’re really looking for. User @Pavlas already gave an excellent example… !
I’m sure not how open Suunto is to this kind of feedback but pictures work better than words when describing what we may want … just an idea

@Stefano-M64 Agreed

[Pavlas]

@BastMaSVSRS9PP Agreed, thanks a lot!
@Stefano-M64 @Brad_Olwin The font could be enlarged, of course. BTW, Vertical Week WF also has a pretty small font
