How do I make body text bigger for Mail, on Apple Watch?

[The Cockney Rebel]

The title is quite obvious, but the main body of text is just tiny and unreadable.

Surely this can be altered?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Wishing you all well.

Watch App>Display and Brightness >Text Size. There is a slider there to adjust the size of text.

Thanks for the advice, but this doesn't increase the font size in Mail.

On the watch: Settings, Display & Brightness, Text Size

Very annoying, isn't it? This is why I never attempt to read any text on the watch. Although, when I tried the Ultra, the text on that was legible. Which size S10 did you get?

Works perfectly on mine. Text goes from tiny (how I have it) to huge!

It increases the font in my mail.

IT gets unreadable.

I’ve now installed Outlook.

I got the 22 in titanium.

Looks identical to my stainless steel (body) but it’s definitely a bit more speedy.

And the display is better.

Did you keep your previous watch? Is the size difference perceptible when you wear it?

Hello mate.

Yes I did keep it; I'll never let it go.

Thinking of buying some kind of display box, and have it sitting on my desk (in memory of my nan.)

Display really seems more legible on the 22. Where I used to have to squint at times, that is no longer an issue.

Have you put any thought into upgrading?

A display box is a great idea, I hope you find a good one. Do post a pic if/when you do.

I'd love to get the S10, especially as you say it's easier to read. but my problem is I need to get a new phone in order to pair with the new watch.

But I don't really need a new phone other than to have one that works with the new watch, so I'm just not sure if I should upgrade this year, or just wait out another year or two. And if I do upgrade, which phone model to get? New, used, or refurb? There's too many decisions to be made!

That’s how they trap you.

My 2018 iPad Pro 11”” works perfectly, but I wanted to be able to use AI, so I had no choice.

Do whatever is best for you. How about paying by instalments?

I don't have much interest in AI, other than maybe being able to sort my pictures by particular landmarks. Like, find all pictures of a particular tree through the years. Or take a picture of a plant, and get its name and other info.

What aspect of AI are you interested in?

As for payments, it's not a matter of not having the money on hand, more about how best to spend the money. When we do buy something, we like to pay in full, and not worry about monthly payments.

Everything about AI intrigues me.

It’s the way forward. The next step.

I have my two M2 Macs, 13” iPad Pro, 16 Pro Max, and the 42mm watch.

I’m ready to go.

Have absolutely 0 interest in AVP, though.

2 Macs? Is one a desktop and the other a notebook?

I kind of agree AI is the next step, but I don't much like the in-your-face applications like chatGPT. I liked the way Apple was incorporating AI behind the scenes, like for tagging photos or for activity/sleep/health tracking on the watch. But this current hype over chatGPT, meh. It does have its uses. Like the other day I was copying text from a pdf and it lost all spaces and all the words were stuck together in one giant glob of letters. I asked chatGPT to add spaces, and it did it perfectly. So that was a great time saver.

I have two Macs, because one was intended to be used at my nan’s, but as you know, she sadly passed away.

Now, I have my 16” Pro on my bedroom desk, and my 13” Air in my living room.

I’ve been into computers since the ZX Spectrum, and I feel privileged to have seen the technology unfold, right before my eyes.

By the way, Microsoft’s email client for the watch, displays email perfectly readable.
