Watch faces for less able eyes
-
I just saw the watch face for the new Race 2 and that looks just about perfect with thicker fonts and better use of the watch’s screen real estate.
-
@sartoric Mine aren’t because they’re actually legible.
I used those to highlight how larger fonts can make things easier for those that struggle to resolve tiny text on the watch face.

Clear and legible.

@Steven-Hambleton I Up Vote this. I just got my Race S a week ago and still struggling with the lack of “perfect” watch faces to choose from. Especially when in dimmed view (with the AOD turned on). I put a couple of examples here: https://forum.suunto.com/post/178368

@tailwind_mrs I really love the Vertical Week one. Great as AOD with Suunto’s tag line…
-
@2b2bff vertical week does look cool! I would need to get back into trails to make it worth it
It’s a good carrot to have, total weekly ascent. -

Main big time field with six small data fields. Love it.
I am big fan of simple desigm + data-rich watch faces.
@suunto could you please add watch face for Vertical which looks exactly as activity 7-fields screen. With clock on the bottom field, day of month+day of week on the top and 6 customable fields in the middle. Five hr zone bars can be also set (only top one is also enough - for battery level). Should be easy to prepare because it already exists. Just like screen below:
-
Like I said before - it is already there, only to put it in Suunto App. Once you look at it and you know it is Suunto watch.
Let’s call this face “So Suunto”.

@pacuro PERFECT!!!

@pacuro One thing I still don’t understand though - why is battery percentage shown with one decimal place when it’s always .0? I have a similar set up for my ultra trail runs and I’ve always wondered why it so. Either it should actually change by .1 or just be rounded to the full integer

Because it is bad design if the numbers jump around. And mathematically 89.0 is something different as 89, precision wise…

Right, if the battery meter has a resolution of 1%, having any decimal places is pointless. In that case, .0 is not a significant figure and is just taking up space.
-
@2b2bff It is bad design when it is the only number with one decimal place surrounded by numbers without decimal places (see picture above). And anyway it is always set to .0

Good question. To Suunto. I hope someone from Suunto read suggestions and will correct this point in next firmware. Anyway, to save one data field, I see battery level on one of five outer ring bars. Next 1/5 bar coud be steps to target. There are so many possibilities to make great face, without creating completely new from zero.

Ok, in that case it is strange…
