OS9 World Time changes make Utility face unusable

[robfoll]

in OS9 the World Time Complication (top left & right) on the Utility face is now so small and dark it is unreadable.

Used to be one line "LON 21.50" large and white and easy to read

Now the two lines with the actual time tiny in dark orange, with unnecessary extra info

LON
21.50 -9 hrs

Almost impossible to read on my 41mm

This is a key feature disabled by a 20/20 vision young engineer

Very frustrating

A lot of the complications have been rendered too small to be read by anyone who has trouble with small type. It has taken the watch from useful to a pain in the ass and I have the 45. I can't read it anymore without my reading glasses = I could easily see the complications I used on the last os

Quite infuriating, all those young designers with 20/20 vision! I have been tweeting @tim_cook and @Applesupport and have filed a case in the Feedback App. Please try the same if possible. I am planning to send a hard copy paper letter to Tim Cook. No idea if it will do anything, but millions of Watch users will be like you and I with less than perfect eyesight.

I don’t know how much difference it makes but gotta be worth doing.

Agreed. I don’t use this face but I have the same issue with the weather app. I can’t for the life of me see when it’s the raining icon va the normal weather icon. I have to click through to the % screen to be able to see. Sometimes I wonder if the people designing this stuff have eyesight better than 20/20.
