Watch faces for less able eyes

Steven Hambleton

I just got a Race S and I find the size etc just fine, but the number of watch faces is quite limited and there’s not a lot for those with less than perfect eyesight.

I’d like to see some different layouts that don’t have a digital clock that you can see from the moon with tiny font complications around it, how about reducing the clock numbers and making better use of the edges of the display, and making fonts larger and bolder?

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.

@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.

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:
