I've had my Series 4 for a couple months. No strain/pain/issues and I use this watch daily.
 
No strain, but I did find it hard to make out until I increased the text size and chose bold.
 
No but setting it to bold text definitely helps and it doesn’t make the actual letters any bigger in doing so. Highly recommended.
