Is there a way to view what set you're on in the Strength activity without having to start another set? I looked in the data fields and there's only an ability to view what rep you've done so far but not sets.

You can do this with my Connect IQ data field app AppBuilder 5 (which is like Excel for your watch :/)
Use the following settings:
- Label:
Set
- Formula:
lapcount div 2 + 1
(The formula isn't case sensitive.)
Explanation:
- Each set and rest period is a lap, under the covers
- lapcount is the number of laps you've already completed (not including the current lap)
- div is integer division, which means that the fractional part of the result is thrown away (5 div 2 = 2). We divide by 2 to account for that fact that both sets and rest periods are laps
- + 1 accounts for the fact that we count sets starting with 1
I also encourage you to request this feature here:

I also wish this feature existed (natively).
Thanks, I submitted it. It really should be a no brainer for anyone who does Strength training. Surprised it hasn’t been implemented yet.
