Date display so fast

Totally agree it is too fast but I don't know of anyway to change it.  I hope it is an issue that Withings fixes in future updates.

Agreed. Would be good to have alerts scrolling go slower too.

Agree - half a second date, I can barely focus quickly enough.

You cannot press the button again to check the date for a second time - you have to press multiple times through the menu and when I finally reach date again, it's on for 0.5 seconds again.

What is the purpose of this brief display followed by the digital time (when I can already see the analogue time)?

A very simple thing to change, I would have thought?

I got my Steel yesterday and this is exactly the problem I am having. Would appreciate a firmware update from Withings.

I agree, far too fast. 

I also agree. I'd like to see date and time as separate sortable display items so I could deselect digital time and just have date.

As David suggested, there should be a settable option to have date displayed without disappearing (basically, instead of time). 

I second David and bzelezni's suggestion!

And as seen here, this thread is not answered either. Get into the fight NOKIA! Do something! Br Torben C. Copenhagen. Danmark.

I second the idea to have the date as a separate item in the menu. I can already see the time in the watch itself. 100% of the time I press it to see the date not the time.

The date display is really bad. What is the purpose even of the tome display, the analogue clock is already displaying the time

We should all request this change until they fix it. One click date, second click time, etc.

+1 just received my Steel HR and can't quite believe how the Withings UX folk have gone wrong here. The purpose of the analogue hands is to tell the time. Having the date shown for less than 0.5 seconds then replaced by digital time is bonkers. 

+1 PLEASE create either an always-on display for date or at least let me set the display time for date when I click the button

I had this brush off a few weeks age from Withings Support

I'm brand new to the watch today. That is one thing that I really don't like (because I can never remember the date especially now). I sent them a suggest to at least separate the date from the time. That is, the first click should be date, then the second can be time. The third can be heart rate, etc. That should be super easy to implement from a development point of view.

Meet too. I am using HR Sport nearly 2 years. And happy to find out here.

Just received my watch yesterday. Exactly the same concern for me. Obviously, looking at the date of some of the posts, Withing has yet to address this problem. I want/need to see the date and day, not the time which is shown by the hands anyway. Please deal with this Withing!

+1 on this issue needs to be fixed.
I'm very disappointed that this issue has been around for 2 years and still not addressed. And I'm worried about the future of Withings as a platform if they choose to not maintain their products nor listen to customer feedbacks.

I bought the watch not as a smart watch but as a great looking watch with an easy to read date display. Except the date is hard to catch. At the very least the time it displays should be increased, even better if the first click shows the date and leaves it as a display - and the time is the next click. 

Based on research online I am not the only one who purchased the watch based on design rather than as a smart watch.

Great watch but as with everyone else - the date display is too quick. I suggest either it be extended to 1 second or be customisable length of time or split into it’s own display page and separated from digital time which I also find useful in the dark so I would not suggest that digital time be deleted but, separated instead.
I am sure a downloadable update could take care of this.

Does anybody read this beside the users? I bought the watch mainly as a watch and on a watch the date has to be there! As proposed, give us a screen with only the date and please use a bigger font as now. Is this so hard to realise? Otherwise a top notch clock!

It is utterly pointless to have a support form / community forum if you totally ignore it. This is SUPER SIMPLE TO SOLVE !!! Why won't you simply do it? Do you care so little about the people who buy your watches? 

It is difficult to read the date in such a short time  - and then I have to wait forever to call the date up again and it again disappears quickly.  

Show the date as the first click AND LEAVE IT VISIBLE until I click on to the next smart watch feature. You do it for all the other features which I don't use. Why not for the date?

The time can be shown on second click for dark. Or the other way round. Doesn't matter. But let me decide how long I want to see the function I look at. Don't decide for me. Especially not this badly.

I am glad not to be alone with this request...

2 year's have passed and this hasn't been fixed, really sad.😤.

"Hello Withings Team
I just bought a ScanWatch. It's top notch but one thing really bothers me. The day and date are so small and vanish almost instantly. It's really hard to read for me at the age of 61. I wish there was a separate screen with the date which stays on longer and bigger. Actually, I bought the ScanWatch as a Watch and not as a smartwatch. And a real watch just has to have a date. Greetings A."

Hi am sure there's more space on the screen and they could increase the size off font for the date a little. This Would make a big difference. Scanwatch

Regards.
