WATCH FACE COMPLICATION
New Android doesn't let apps work in the background reliably. Now Google's AI decides what you, the user want. To get around Google's "smarts", place the app's watch face complication, which ensures accurate step detection and reminders on time.

--- HINTS & TIPS ---
 
SET AND FORGET
In day to day this is a fully automatic app. You set the active hours, reminder frequency and step limit for your particular watch, then app will politely do its thing. No more fiddling necessary.
 
NEVER DISTURBS
It will not frustrate you with unwanted, repeated alerts: if you are not in a situation when you can get up, just keep the notification. It will go away automatically as soon as you get to get up. No repeat alerts.
 
FALSE STEP DETECTS
Our watches do a good job of differentiating steps from other movements, but there will always be mistakes. E.g.:
►TicWatch Pro 20-30 false detects / hour
►Fossil Gen5 60-80 / hour
 
INITIAL SETUP
Enable "Inactivity tracking", and do your sitting work for an hour. The activity chart will show how many steps were - falsely - detected when you just sat. Set movement goal slightly higher than the number of false detected steps.
 
IN PRACTICE
If you don't get up for a period of time, the watch will remind you: Do not dismiss the notification if you are not in a situation when you can stand up. It will not alert you until you do get to get up
