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.
 
FULLY FEATURED WEAR APP

►Toggle monitoring / alerts

BUBBLE CLOUD LAUNCHER INTEGRATION
The app also works as a plugin in Bubble Cloud Wear Launcher:
►The two apps share step-count tracking → battery saving
►The step count Bubble will turn blue when you've been sitting too long
►Access settings from your phone's Bubble Cloud app!
Works without limitations with Free version of Bubble Clouds
 
Works as plugin to maximize battery efficiency of Bubble Cloud Wear Launcher: when both are installed
 
--- 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

Ratings and reviews

Uninstalled from phone to install on my watch, then it installed. But it doesn't work. Despite setting it to notify me after an hour of fewer than 800 steps (which I rarely get 800 in an hour), I've only received one notification -- when I took the watch off to go to bed! The minutes displayed on the watch face have no obvious relationship to my activity, so I don't know what it's actually sensing. Big hassle for broken app.

I have installed purchased version of the App about a week ago. The notifications work well after the scheduled period. Helps a lot in keeping up the mobility when we work for extended periods of time and forget to take those micro breaks! Surprisingly, I could not find any other Apps in the similar category (paid and free). Wear OS should have included this as a default option like Apple watches have a 'Breathing reminder'. Sometimes basics are overlooked!

Pretty good, but there's one issue. The status of my current state take too long to update. For example, if I'm currently sitting and then I start walking, it takes a couple of minutes to show that I'm moving. And vice versa. Overall it does the job, but hope you can make it more fluid. ***Edit*** Oh I understand, than it's cool. Thanks for the answer.
