Maybe instead of

timer
0:00

you can change the field layout to

0:00

and use a bigger font.

for distance it could be:

0.00 with 'km' behind it vertical.

Thanks for the suggestion! What watch do you have? Is it one of the ones that supports multiple layouts in Run Power?
https://github.com/flowstatedev/ciq-runpower/wiki/Data-Field-Layouts

At this time I am not considering adding more layouts or modifying the default layout.

My two cents:

  • For the default layout (“6 Field A”), the fonts are already as big as the standard Garmin 4 field layout, which seems to work for many people. I suppose this is a little self-centred, but I’ve used that layout / font size for years without problems. I realize that others may need or prefer larger fonts. Having said that...
  • ...“4 field B” has large fonts for those who need them. I’m pretty sure those fonts are as large as possible, actually
  • “5 field” already has one field with an omitted label, for a total of 3 large fields and two small fields

I would really prefer not to omit labels for more than one field on the screen, because I think the labels are important for identifying metrics, especially in a flexible field with hundreds of available metrics.

I also don’t think that omitting labels will allow fonts to be bigger in all cases, especially with the suggestion of suffixes, since the sizes are constrained by width as well as height.

Having said all of that, I’ll keep this in mind in the future, when I have a chance to look at adding more layouts.

I have a fenix 5. I tried the 4-field version but I really miss one field ;)

Thanks for listening! Great app!

Thanks. At this time I’m focused on Run Power+, which will bring most of the “top-tier” features (such as recording and custom zone names) to Fenix 5 and similar watches. But I’ll def look at more layouts once that’s out of the way.
