The Today screen

Today is the first tab. It shows how you are doing today, from top to bottom.

What does the big circle show?

The circle shows your steps today. The big number is your steps. The small text under it shows your goal, for example of 6,500 steps.

The colored line fills up as you walk. When it goes all the way around, you reached your goal for today.

Under the circle you see how many goal days you have this week. A goal day is a day you reached your goal.

Your steps, your goal and goal days this week.
