Step Count Missing from My Watch Screen

The step counter that used to be one swipe down from the watch face is no longer there. I can only see my steps from the "My Day" screen. Any idea how I can get it back? Thanks in advance for any help!
  • You need to add the "steps" widget. You can do this by going to "Settings" then "Widgets" then scrolling to the bottom and pressing "Add"
    Or you can do it from the app or Garmin Express.

    Sometimes the widgets and their order seems to get reset - I haven't figured out how/why though.

    I just discovered that when i went to turn off an alarm, i turned off Activity Tracking in stead, which is the next option down.

    the alarm went off at 5.30 am! and i had no heart rate or steps data since i turned it off.

    i have a Garmin 235.

    the step counter was missing from the watch screens which normally toggle, time heart rate and step count.

    watch works fine, I changed the settings by mistake.

    this may help in some cases.

    I can’t find one that just says Steps under my widgets. I can download lots of random stuff for weekly steps but can’t seem to add daily. Help!

  • I'm with kcoyne97.  The earlier advice seems to be outdated.  No mention of Steps as a standalone Widget option and Activity Tracker is enabled.

    My device is actually counting my steps as I meet my goal every other day (or so).  Just cannot find a way to display the count on screen.  

  • If you long press on your watch face the :"Watch face"... etc menu appears. Scroll to and click on "settings". Scroll to and click on "add"  and from there I was able to pick "Steps" as a single option. This helped me display it on my screen each day.
