Step count down

[PattyRN]

I'm wondering if there is a way to count steps from 10,000 down to 0? I find myself trying to calculate in my head how far I need to go to reach my daily goal. It seems like it might be more motivating to me to see that number go down!

Thanks!

So simple but such a fantastic idea! I’d love to be able to switch to a countdown on my steps.

I’d like this too! Kind of like the “closing circles” feature on Apple watches.

What happens when steps reach ZERO? Do they go negative or just stop showing any further steps?

It would make more sense for hourly goals, starting at 250 and working till 0 for that hour.

I envision having both options--it should still track your total steps for the day but also let you see the countdown screen from 10,000 if you opt to. I think the Versa may already do the countdown hourly from the 250?

Opting to do countdown would still pose a problem when you get to zero, or do you envisage displaying both goal count down and steps so far?

It's still an interesting idea.

They could be two separate screens just like others that you scroll between.
