Thanks for the report, this is a known issue and we need to expose a
property in Pickers + tweak the tumbler scroll speed to a proper speed.

We are working on a redesigned DatePicker component, so this may fall
under a lower priority, however we will add the property driving the
Pickers so we can tweak the speed. The new component will use Pickers
(tumblers) in Time picking, but not in Date picking.

Title:
  DatePicker scrolls too quickly, making precision difficult

Status in ubuntu-ui-toolkit package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Using the DatePicker is more difficult than it needs to be.

  OS: 14.09-RTM Ubuntu-Touch on bq aquaris

  Example: When adding a new event in the Calendar app, I am presented
  with 2 DatePicker widgets (one for date and one for time).

  Expected behaviour: I expect to be able to scroll to my desired date
  and time quickly and efficiently. I expect it to be particularly easy
  to select values at the 0,15,30,45 minute times.

  Current behaviour: A small movement on the DatePicker dial causes the
  dial to spin quickly. It is far too easy to overshoot the desired
  value (often by a long way), Making a precise selection is fiddly and
  takes longer than desirable. "Common" time increments such as 0,15,30
  and 45 are no easier to select than 1,16,31 or 46, and the latter are
  often picked accidently.

  I don't know if this sensitivity to gesture is due to the high dpi
  screen, or whether it is resolution independent.
