Race Flow & MonoEdge
-
I just noticed 2 new watch faces in the app

@SamuelP
Yes, I noticed. I’m even testing race flow.
-
Race flow looks great
-
@thanasis I also liked Race Flow at first glance, but after 5 minutes I went back to Athletics, mainly because of the poorer readability on V1. Another reason is that I want to see the seconds all the time.

Race Flow is one of the most customizable watchfaces and it could be nice with another hour/minute font, I really dislike the chosen one for both aesthetical and readable reasons

@Milan-Šádek
I agree with you.
I tested both watch faces.
First of all, I have a Vertical 1 with a MIP display. My comments are based on that.
Race Flow seemed nice at first, but readability is very low. The seconds are unnecessary and not useful, and as someone who thinks the watch face should be a dashboard, there are four fields that can be changed besides the time and date.
Mono Edge seems like it could be a companion to the “Stride” for classic wear. After using it, I liked it even more.
After all, I still use Race 2 and Athletics. Sometimes, Aoutback Adv. -
I like the Race Flow, but I’m not sure if the circular seconds display is necessary. The seconds don’t work after a while anyway.
Something else that’s present in other watchfaces in a similar circle could be added here: battery, compass, daylight, recovery, etc. -
Both watchfaces with costumizable circular complication would be really nice.

Have Suunto only licensed tiny fonts for their watch faces?
Other brands manage to make readable complications and other things.
The best one for the most part is Race 2 with a readable date font, but that’s about it, other details are again in the tiny font.
I would love to use Vertical 2 if they had slightly bigger complication fonts (and you could customise the bottom complication).

Maybe they got inspired by Fenix 8 release last year. Major complaint after release, was tiny unreadable complications on ALL default watch faces. 🧐
At least here, you have more usable options if you find these fonts too small.
