I wanted to have an active arch down transformed steps field with text circle. I could not find any calculation according to separated step digits, so I prepared one ;). Here is the result:
Well i am creating a classic car display at he moment and down below there is a pedometer. I want the Number in the white field in 1/10 steps. At the moment, there is a placeholder with second.
…so you would like to have 0.1 steps, correct? hmmm… it is hard to know in the front when the next step will comes…
Basically we could work with a kind of average value (general fix value, day average, minute average, …)
At the moment only a “fancy average” could be realized… however I do not know how to display correct steps value at the same time.
Next point would be that the steps (usually) do not come in the real time, but only after few seconds…
If I would like to have such an instrument implemented into my watch face, I would go the "interpAccel way"as I use it now for changing fitness indicator
(please, click on the steps)
Sure you could count slowly… If the interpAccel would not work fine for you… you could use simple #DWE# value to count up… let say for 5 seconds to get the correct value
I think you can put the units in the white filed and yet be completely true to your design and the pedometer inspiration. Two basics reason: theres no half, third or anything of a step. Steps are integer magnitudes. And, like @Tomas said, you can never know when next step will come, principaly because the response of the step info of facer is not perfect.
I think the user never will see steps units change from 1 to 1, always will be a jump, so, that beautiful design wont sufer if you show the units in the white field.
Congrats for the watch, btw!
