6977 steps yesterday so not quite 7K but close enough.  But, 11 hours with at least 500 steps !   Barbara, yeah, when your step count reaches that line for each hour you will see it change to green.  For me this happens at 300 steps and I guess that is set by the Stepz App.  I have no idea how it can be changed but I don't think it can. 

I'm using the free App, though there is a paid Pro version as well. In the Settings, the topmost option is Automatic Goal. If you use this the App will pick up stored data from the device & set the number of steps on its own. If not, the next option is to set your daily goal. To the right is a ">" symbol which can help you change the number. My guess is the hourly target is based on this daily goal.

I checked and it turns out that you are exactly right.  I set my own goal and right now it is 7000 steps/day and the line is at 300 steps/hour.  I changed the daily goal to 10,000/day and the line raised to 400/hour.  So it will change based on what your daily goal is but I guess there is no way to set the hour goal for yourself.  I am using the paid App but I really don't see much of a difference.

7,482 steps yesterday.  in lap a lot!

Wally, my goal is still set at 7,000 steps, my numbers vary wildly depending on how much  in lap time there is. I use the free app at this point, doesn't sound like there is much difference with the paid app.

8562 steps yesterday.  Best day for a while.  I made 10/10 hours with 500+ steps, best hour was 2119 steps. That was when I went shopping.  Lots of steps traveling all over the stores.
Barbara, I have no idea what the difference is between the free and paid version is but I doubt it is much, maybe getting rid of ads if there are any on the free one.  I just don't remember but it was only a couple of bucks when I opted to get the paid version.

Did not wear fitbit yesterday and my battery is running low today and left my charger at home

Spent an awesome day at home with kids yesterday. Did nothing but had some friends over. Kids played and moms had a good talk. It was lovely!

5536 steps yesterday.  I got off to a good start but kind of petered out in the afternoon.  My knee was a bit of a problem.  I hope that is not a trend as it was doing so well after the injections.

8,347 steps yesterday.

My left knee is a little wonky today...

I managed to climb up 32 floors yesterday + the full gym routine + my 2 km run. A good day for exercise, I think.

That is super inspiring rocky. I am going to get back to floor climbing from tomorrow now.

8828 steps and only 5 floors yesterday.

I have work going on at the 8th floor upwards on a project. So I'm climbing 8 floors at least once a day. Soon it will be 2-3 times and the score will go up.

6855 steps yesterday.  Not too bad for me as it was almost all indoors.  Rain kept me inside most of the day and after it quit it was breezy and a bit cool.  I am starting to feel some pain in my right knee so I am not sure if the injections are going to do the job.  May have to go back to the knee brace.

Eventually I did do 2 sets of climbing stairs yesterday, so 16 floors. I have to admit that I have to take a brief halt at the 5th or 6th to catch my breath

Finally crossed 10000 steps yesterday. 10009 steps and 8 floors. Hopefully today is better but i forgot to wear my tracker while walking my dog + dropping my son to the bus. That is usually my majority of steps in the morning.

Great going skb. I am going to give you and Rocky serious competition from today on stair climbing.

Forgot to post yesterday.

1/9 - 7,297 steps and yesterday 7,808 steps. Left knee is still wonky so am taking it a bit easy.
