start time for concluding step count

[ricktalcott]

My doc wants me to conclude the daily step count at 9:00 pm. Support told me that's impossible, but I wish it wasn't. I can't get the suggestion board to permit me to add a suggestion, so here I am. 

Fortunately, I'm a California person, so I can always set the time to Eastern time, but means the time on my wrist is always 3 hours off, which at present, involves translating what time it "really" is. Sort of like an extended version of the switchover to/from daylight savings time. 

Any suggestions if there's a non-klutzy solution?

Thanks

Kind of depends on exactly what he wants and why.  If he just wants you to not be active after 9, maybe close to bed, that's on you.

Or does he want to know your step count history, excluding steps after 9?  Only reason I could imagine that would be so you don't exercise close to bedtime.  But that would take some extra work on your part, recording your steps yourself, either recording the # at 9, or could look back at steps in 15 minute segments and count after 9 and subtract from total.

I can't think of any way to automatically do that (or any reason for it).

Even if you set time wrong (incidentally hard to do as takes time from phone), those steps would just count on the next day.

@ricktalcott.you don't need to add a suggestion, simply vote on the suggestion that popped up with the search you did

Thanks for the help. I looked at the suggestion page and found it
incomprehensible, so I never found that the suggestion had already been
made. I really appreciate it.

Thanks. I guess it seems like every workaround is more klutzy that shifting
my time zone upstream 3 hours.

Hello @ricktalcott 

If you just need the step count at 9pm, why don’t you sync to the app and take a screenshot?  

It sounds like it might be easier than having your clock 3 hours adrift all of the time, unless it’s too clunky for you.

As I said above, that wouldn't eliminate those steps between 9 PM and midnight; it would just shift them into the next day.

Thanks. Good solution.

Unfortunately, I'm dealing with an HMO, and while a screenshot would work
perfectly, by starting the recount at 9:00 pm, I get credit the next day
for all the steps between 9:00 pm and midnight the next day.
