Font size on Zen Watch

[bennie joe]

Hi,

I just picked up a Zen Watch at Best Buy for my husband for Christmas. I turned it on and played with it for a few minutes (just to make sure it works lol) before I had to wrap it up and put it away.
I noticed the font on the watch is a bit on the small side. Is there a way to change that? Some of the text may actually be tough for him to read without getting out his reading glasses!

I have the Samsung Gear S and don't have that problem at all, since I could not find a way to change font size on the Zen watch right away, I figure I better ask here before unwrapping the present again just to check...

I suffer a bit from the issue your husband will probably have. There doesn't seem to be a way to increase font size currently but the Lollipop update is rumored to be have some capabilities for increasing font size and or magnification.

O boy... I am now thinking all the hassle of getting it and then he may not be able to read it...

If he likes gadgets it would be worth wearing reading glasses while waiting for the update in my opinion.

I have to use my reading glasses with it. Bizarre to put on glasses to read your watch! Can't wait until font size can he adjusted.

Use a custom watch face or create one with facer/watch maker.. They both have options for custom text size... Note if you're taking about notification text size that's something that can't be adjusted.

Update Has Large Font!

Good news. I just got the Lollipop update and found a new 'Accessibility' setting. Under it is one option... Large FONT!

I had seen no mention of that in any of the reviews I read but it is there and makes a nice difference without detracting... Oh, the sweep second hand is pretty cool too.
