About Coubertin Rings: Watch Face
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.

Classy, and fun. But what is that screen that covers the face and says 10,000 steps, (not actually my step count) and how do I go back to the regular face?

Coubertin Rings looks awesome and seems to work well, with smooth, lag-free animation. I found Coubertin Rings to be easy to read in virtually all levels of lighting, and the watchface appears to be well optimized, as battery usage seems to be minimal. Very nice indeed...

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!

Really loved this because it's so much fun to see the rings and colors develop the more I walk, but it's stopped resetting itself every day now.I have to select another watch face in the morning and then change it back to reset the steps to zero.. I'm still using it, but I wish it would just reset in the morning like it used to. Need an update/fix.

Nice, but recently stopped staying in sync with what the watch was counting. Watch said I did 7,000 steps... face says 101. Moto 360 and Note 4 running stock 5.1.1

Cool concept, but the step counter doesn't seem to work with my LG G Watch R.

Looks like a nice, idea but doesn't work. The steps remain at zero (works with other watch faces) so no rings show. In effect it remains as an off center digital watch. Hopefully yo can get it working (One Plus One and Samsung Gear Live)

This is exactly what I wanted! A simple watch face with the digital time and a step count! The circle effect is very appealing, and I love how they move around as you tilt the watch.
