What do the colored lines on the clock screen mean

[LukmanC]

Which clock face are you using? 

A wild guess is that they'll be representing some sort of count/measure (but really depends on the face...on the one I'm using, I have stacked hexagons, they represent heart rate, steps or calories burnt etc...)

[DeBobb]

It’s the default clock face and on the left-hand side there are a number of colored Horizontal lines along the entire left-hand side sometimes they go from top to bottom and sometimes it’s a smaller number of lines

[DrBobb]

It’s the lines to the left of the time

So those are some sort of "progress" charts. If you tap on the clock face what they represent changes. Towards the middle of the bottom there will be an icon representing what they show. 

As an example an icon of a heart means it's showing the heart rate.... Not sure how the lines represent minimum and maximum (my resting heart rate hovers between 50 and 60 but none of the lines are shown...when I exercise and it hits around 170 the lines full up)

If the icon is a shoe it's steps, for those I think the top of the chart is your target step count...as you do more steps that chart will fill up with lines... For example of your target is 10,000 steps, 1,000 steps will fill up 1/10th of the lines, 5,000 would fill up 1/2 of the lines and 8,000 would fill up roughly 4/5 (80%) of the lines (though I am not sure how proportional those lines are).

Same for calories burnt, proportional to your target. 

Workout minutes and distance travelled 

At least that's how I think it's meant to work

Also I posted somewhere what all the icons mean... You might be able to find it if you're able to see my post history...but here's my attempt at describing them:

Heart: pulse

Flame: calories burnt

"Location pin" (like in Google maps): distance travelled

Chevron type lines: workout minutes 

Show (looks more like some weird bird): steps counter
