I'm not as wild about Arvo Bold now as I was when I was first putting this together: the glyph positions / sizes are kind of unpredictable (I didn't expect "10" to be any wider than "12"), and the hinting (through Pebble's build pipeline) isn't as great as they brag about in its description.
I'm coming back around to the idea of using a monospace font, and looking at my options, I actually really like Ubuntu Mono Bold. It's juuust heavy enough, the characters are a sensible width (not too thin, not too wide), with good interglyph spacing (I'd like Share Tech Mono better if there weren't such huge rifts between each digit), and, though it is from Ubuntu, it's not as closely-tied / quirky as Roboto Mono or Fira Mono are for Android and Firefox, respectively (though they'd be my second and third choices, having similar weights and proportions).
