Is there a way to see how many steps I have done in the current hour on the charge 5?

Hello @GeorgeRT69 

 

I don't think there is a way to do that for every hour. 

 

However, if you've set up the Hourly Activity Goal under Daily Activities on the App on your phone, you will be able to see how many steps you've done that particular hour (up to the goal of 250 steps)  by scrolling up from the main Clock Face screen. 

 

Once you've made your 250 step goal, it stops showing you a number though.

 

I hope that helps a bit.

I tried to follow those instructions today and it would not show me how many steps I'd taken in the hour.  It used to be really easy to see on my Charge 4. All the thing on my watch would should me is a little full circle with the hours I did my 250 steps.  This hour I was trying to figure out how much more I had to move around because the circle hadn't been filled up and all it would tell me was how many steps I'd taken all day.  Same with the app on my tablet.  Nothing I could tap on under steps would show me how many I'd taken that hour.  This is really annoying because I have mobility problems and walking is painful.  I'm not trying to do extra walking because it sets off fibro pain.  Can't someone add code to the app with some text that says "This Hour" under the big circle with the number of steps in it?  That would solve the problem easily.  I was looking at one chart BEFORE I made my day step goal and it refused to show me hourly information.  Then AFTER I reached my daily goal I could click on the bar on the graph and it would tell me how many steps I had taken during the hour.

 

If the whole purpose for wearing the watch, what it was created for, was to help you keep check of your steps, shouldn't we be able to very EASILY see how many steps we've done in the hour we're trying to meet our goal?

 

Also, I've noticed this week that whichever arm I have my Charge 5 on starts to ache after a couple of hours AND the battery seems to need recharging far more than it ever did.  The screen goes to sleep so I don't know why it's burning through the battery so fast.  I just restarted it in hopes the problem with the hourly steps not showing up in the swipe display would change.  Should the battery be going bad so fast?
