Font is too small (feedback wanted)

[Hensch-S]

I wanted to give a Pinetime to my father as a gift but I'm afraid of the fonts on the display being too small to view without reading glasses. Would it be possible to change the digital watchface or create a new one. The time on digital watchface is pretty readable but I think the date, HRM, step count and status symbols have to be bigger.

Thanks in advance.

Maybe there should be a toggleable setting for this that could change things systemwide. Each screen could read the variable and set the sizes of objects accordingly.

The only problem I could think of is that certain things could clip into other since the spacing on all of the screens are different.
If this is just about reorganizing the main watch face in general (making icons bigger and moving things around) there is an open issue about having the ability to have custom watch faces. #289

I want to look into this issue to assess the accessibility of InfiniTime. Anyone reading this, please share your experiences. Is the font too small? How much larger should it be? Here are two builds based on 1.11.0 with larger font sizes. Please test them and let me know what you think.

This is a feedback I received at FOSDEM : older eyes have a hard time reading the smaller font (date on the digital watchface, notification text, texts in the settings,...).

I'm not involved in this issue (yet), so it's not easy to determine whether the font and layout are easily readable by anyone or not. There are also other challenges with bigger fonts : the display is still quite small, and bigger fonts mean more flash space needed to store them.

Hi,

For some reason I'm not able to download the file with larger font, but the version with large font already feels better for my middle age eyes :)
