The work here is heavily based on this article, and my main goal was to validate that the article is still correct, given it was written a year and half ago. I read a good article on the Quantixed blog about how the step goal is calculated. How exactly the goal is adjusted up or down is not documented by Garmin, and may actually change from watch to watch… and from firmware version to firmware version. In this setting, the step goal of tomorrow adjusts up or down based on how many steps you took today… and over the last days. So in order to motivate you to take more steps, most Garmin watches support setting an “Auto Step Goal”. People that bike to work may not take a lot of steps, while still being quite active. Professional athletes take more steps than office workers. Common guidance suggests that one should take 10,000 steps every day, and such a goal can be set in the watch. A good proxy for activity is how many steps one takes every day. Most current and past Garmin watches cannot only track specific activities, but can also track how active you are during the day. In August I did a little research into the “ Auto Step Goal” feature of my Garmin Forerunner® 235.
