I fully agree, not easy to read…..
I agree, in the 3 months I've had the Grenadier I've never been able to read it. I put it down to my eyes 👀, I wear long range glasses for driving but for close reading I have to change to short range reading glasses 👓. The altitude is displayed on the touch screen anyway, which i can see, and in the 🇬🇧 a compass is hardly necessary. I didn't order it, it is standard in the Fieldmaster

Would be happy if I could even read it! Definitely not worth the money. I should have bought an aftermarket clock.
As it happens the software update fixed ours today. And I used my wife to take readings.
If I ever get lost , she will be with me. And I will have packed a proper map!

Isn't that what the "Pathfinder" function is for? But I'd take a map...just in case of a very very rare software failure

That's reassuring.

An IWC made in Tunisia - the planet would stop turning. 😰

That sounds far too complicated.
But yes , a real map and a real compass, says me as always with a backup for the backup :).
In case the vehicle catches fire.

Wouldn't a digital gage like this on be a better use of that space, especially given so many people have reported battery charging issues

Snap, the same issue with glasses!

I have a few of these, Howard Mk.2 and Abrams (pictured).

Me too, old tech is just cool. I always made sure the Scouts in my sons’ Troop really knew how to use a compass.
Nowadays, many people need their iphone to find their way. If they are looking for it at all.
