Barcode wallet one is still pretty small on my watch (FR645) but it did work fine, as did the slightly smaller new one.

Fills the screen, though the screen on the VA4 isn't that big. Whereas the lady I spoke to her barcode only 2/3 of that size, maybe? :-) G

Mine's nowhere near as wide as that.

Wonder if the fact that you've got fewer digits in your barcode is the killer factor?

But larks, you *are* wearing a smarter workshirt, and that's important! ;-)

Never thought of that - shorter barcode, fills screen better? I'll put in a longer number (steal yours and then spam your parkrun results with Scottish parkruns at 30 mins or slower?! :-O :-O ) :-) G

[Edit, no, seems to make no difference. Maybe the resolution on my FR645 has more pixels, so 1 pixel wide on mine is pretty narrow, whereas 1 pixel wide on your VA is wider?]

[Edit 2 - that doesn't appear to be the case either, VA3 has 240x240, FR645 has the same. VA4 has 260x260]
