About this app

Coubertin Rings is an Android Experiment that uses the built-in sensors on your watch to display playful interactive rings that represent your daily step count. The more steps you take, the more rings you earn. As you hit step milestones throughout the day, the rings get bigger, change color, and scale up to quantify higher step counts (e.g. 10 steps, 100 steps, 1,000 steps). Once you hit the higher step counts, your watch will reward you with a splash of color to help motivate you to the next ring. Shoot for 10,000 steps and achieve a jubilation of color!


Paying homage to Pierre de Coubertin, the father of the modern Olympic Games, the watch references the rings of the Olympic logo which was designed in 1912 by Coubertin himself. The Olympics are a symbol of goals and achievements, the Coubertin Rings watch face is meant to promote your daily activity performance.


Step calculation
If Google Fit is enabled on your phone, the watch will query the Google Fit API for the daily step count. Due to Google's implementation of the Fit API, the numbers shown may not match those reported by the phone. (We find it frustrating too, and if it bothers you, please report the bug to Google!)
When Google Fit is disabled, the built-in pedometer of each watch calculates steps, which begins counting once the Coubertin Rings watch face is selected. The daily step count resets to zero each night at 4:00 a.m. If the user selects a different watch face and returns back to Coubertin Rings, the step count will start at zero. The steps also return to zero if the watch is turned off or reset.

It didn't show up before the update but now it shows up on my watch as a choice. I've been looking for a digital face with step count and this one is fantastic!

I have loved this app for a few years but with the last month it stopped producing rings. The step count goes up but no rings are appearing . Tried deleting and reinstalling but no change. I emailed the developers and they were nice but offered no solutions. I really hope it gets fixed someday because it was my favorite face.
