Add number of steps left to meet hourly activity goal on my Pixel Watch

Let me know the progress of the hourly goal. Waiting for the 10 minutes until the hour and rushing around is not idea. I am used to a blaze, but switched to a Pixel and it has less features.

I absolutely miss this feature.  Grateful when it shows up with 10 minutes to spare, but sometimes the last 10 minutes aren't convenient to "get it in". PLEASE BRING THIS FEATURE BACK! Many Thanks!

I had to go into my Fitbit app and turn this feature off and back on to get it to work on my Pixel watch! I don't know if that will help you or not.

In the Fitbit Today section, there's the ability to see how many steps towards the 250 hourly goal you have, but there is no way to have that display on the home screen of any Pixel Watch Face. This exists on other android based watches and is desperately needed with the Google Pixel.

I also would love to see the hourly movement goal as its own complication on the Google Pixel Watch. It's the thing I struggle with most during the day.

That's a great idea. Also, I used to get an hourly alert 10 mins prior to complete my 250 steps for the hour on the Charge 5. But i dont get these alerts on the Pixel Watch even though the setting is turned on. Not sure why ?

Tried the setting to switch it off and back on. Didn't work for me. Still doesn't give me a reminder/vibration 10 minutes before for completing the 250 steps.

 

Don't know how to fix this.

The clock face on my Sense fell off so I upgraded to a Pixel Watch. But one thing I really miss is seeing what my current step count is during the active hours. It helps to see that you are 200 steps short of goal or 20 steps shy of goal. You don't always notice the ten minute warning at ten til the next hour. It's good to check on your schedule

This definitely needs to be added, it was nice on my Luxe to be able to swipe up and it show "100 of 250 steps taken" so I knew I needed to do 150 more without having to wait for a notification 10 minutes prior to the end of hour.

So 3 suggestions then to fix that, all would be nice but even one would be better than nothing:

  1. Add a new "Hourly Goal" complication for the watch face. It would show a progress bar and X/250 count and then change to a Checkmark when complete or could change into the "X of Xh" like it currently shows on Fitbit Today/App
  2. Hourly Goal tile if people want it not on the watch face itself, works the same way as above
  3. Add it to the Fitbit app itself on phone which is something that should be done anyway since all Fitbits could benefit from being able to see this in the mobile app too, not just on their devices.

Me too, seeing my hourly steps one of my top features I used in my previous Charge watches. I have knee issues, and moving regularly every hour is important. I might not be able to to move exactly 50 mins past the hour. Now getting a Pixel Watch is setting me back. 😞

I miss my versa and wish I never "downgraded" to the Google Pixel. I miss the reminder to move and count down steps goal per hour the most. The app is ugly as well. We liked the flare of the old app and the celebrations when we hit the hourly steps.  Fitbit had a good thing going, and goggle came and messed it all up. 

I have had my Pixel for about six months, and I am really thinking about selling it for an actual fitness tracker.
