About Steps Plant
Steps Plant turns your daily steps into a growing tree. Every morning a new seed is planted on your watch face. As you walk it sprouts, grows leaves, becomes a sapling and then a full tree, and as you close in on your daily step goal it bursts into bloom under a golden sky.
7 growth stages: Seed, Sprout, Seedling, Sapling, Young tree, Full tree and In bloom. A new stage appears every 1/7 of your own Garmin step goal, so with a 10,000-step goal the plant grows every 1,429 steps. The sky changes with it, from a starry night to a sunny day and a golden sunset.
2 tree styles to choose from in the settings: Pixie Grove: a round, playful tree under a sky that goes from a starry night to a golden sunset.; Elder Oak: a sturdy storybook oak on a sunny meadow with green hills and fluffy clouds, from pink dawn to golden hour..
Everything is drawn on the watch, so it works offline and needs no image downloads.
Beyond the growing plant, this watch face also gives you a data-rich display for health monitoring and fitness tracking.
