GENERAL
The Steps WF displays, as a chart, your history of the number of steps you have taken over the last 7 days.
The chart is displayed in the middle area of the watch display. It has the following features:
- Bar chart or line chart.
- Possibility of adding the current day as the first day of this step history. In this case you can watch the changes in the chart in real time while you are walking or running.
- The average of the daily step targets for the last 7 days (plus today, if current day is added) shown as a dashed line.
- The largest, smallest and average step numbers are shown as numbers below the chart, together with the sum of all steps for the period.
The picture below shows the same data as a line chart:
The following additional information is also displayed:

On the sides
On both sides of the watch face there is an ‘Arc’ display of data values, together with their corresponding targets or goals. The target value is represented by a gray arc, and the current value is represented by an arc having the current ‘general color’ of the watch face. The target and current values are shown as numbers on the top of the arcs, in the corresponding colors.
- The Left Arc: Daily count of steps. Target is set on the Garmin Connect phone app.
- The Right Arc: Daily count of floors climbed. Target is set on the Garmin Connect phone app.
Colors
17 colors can be used to set 5 different areas of the watch display.
