Watch faces for less able eyes

@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. -

Clear and legible.
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…

I think anyone interested in having clear and data rich watchface in his suunto watch, should vote for first post in this thread to make it visible on threads list. I did this just before a second
-
@pacuro sorry, but none of the watch faces shown are looking good IMHO.

@2b2bff I regret some of my choices so I’ve removed them, but the ones left show how complications can be legible and not tiny fonts all the time.

And this is OK. Above watch faces are just samples of what are the possibilities. I think this thread is not about one proper vision of simple watch face. I and probably others too need some watch face which is not another one with weird big font clock and two or three ultra tiny font complications. Are not there any regular medium font? I hope suunto is going to make watch faces creating open.
-
@pacuro That is exactly my point! Sure make the time bold but it doesn’t have to be massive at the expense of complication fonts.
Come on Suunto, you can do it!
-
@Steven-Hambleton this is one reason why I moved back to vertical 1 from Amoled since the watchface when dimmed the font are outside in sun unusable with today’s small fonts.
