Bold time in Status Bar

Watchapp/Face Developers Corner

It seems like the most recent Pebble 2 Duo firmware update makes Status Bar time bold in appearance. Was this an intentional change? It makes my other UI elements like the card counter to the right not match.

I’m concerned that I’ll have to add watch-specific code for older watches that don’t present the Status Bar time like this to make the fonts all match.

Additionally, I think this change negatively impacts the readability of the Status Bar time. The old Pebble UI/UX team designed it the old way intentionally - why change it now? Was this even intentional?

Hi! This was an intentional change, but we’ve heard some feedback and the next update will allow you to switch between bold & not bold

Will there be some way for me to detect this as a developer, using the C API? I like to make my other stuff in the Status Bar match. Right now, things in my apps (pretty much all of them) look a bit broken.
