Hey,
I have two rings on the left side for steps and calories. Both rings are limited to 40°. (see screenshot studio) However, if I exceed the limit for example, the 8.000 step target and go further the rings are going bigger beyond that 40° range (see the watch screenshot). I thought the size is limited by the total angle to 40°. Why is this happening?
Thanks Thomas
You need to look at CLAMP for your formulas . I dont know if we have a steps goal tag . Clamp will stop the formula counting when it gets to 8,000 . I will have a look for the Goal TAG .
I used the formula
360/{stsc}*{ssc}/9
So I thought 360° / 8000steps (goal) * current steps / 9
/9 because 360° / 40° (total angle) = 9
But it seems that is maybe not correct. I hope you understand what I mean.
You mean I have to set the limit in the formula? Can you help me with this?
Thanks
OK . This formula looks at the Steps goal set on the Phone . I am not thar=t familiar with LUA so I sometimes use an internet search to giv e me Formulas . So if you do not want to use the steps goal substitute {stsc} with your 8000 . Yeah . I am not exactly sure what you are doing withh your number s. You seem to be using Steps Goal . The trouble withthese formuals they have to be the correct Syntax from begining to end or they give nothing .
.
math.min(80,({ssc}/{stsc})*80)
.
Try this and get back if you get stuck .
Ha Ha . I see your angle is 40 not *) . I am sure you can adjust the formula .
.
I think your arc is a bit bigger than 40 degrees .
.
If you want the progress bar to stop developing, once the goal is exceeded, you need to use some function that limits the output of the comparison of the actual value to goal
The documentation is not clear whether all the old LUA functions work, but you may try one of these:
40*(math.min (1,{ssc}/{stsc}))
{ssc}/{stsc}>1 and 40 or 40*({ssc}/{stsc})
Ok, I made a test to simplify the problem and for me it looks like a bug.
Here you can see a simple ring graphic: Total angle 40 / Progress angle 20. The ring is half filled. Looks absolute ok.
Now comes the interesting part. In this pic I increased the Progress angle to 60. Total angle is still 40. You can see the Total angle limits the graphic. The ring does not cross the line.
Now I send this test watch face with this values to my watch and here is the result:
This is the problem. For me it looks like a bug but maybe you have an idea where I made a mistake. I hope everything is clear because my english is not the best 
Greetings Thomas
you should try a formula which prevent being after step goals like:
({ssc}<{stsc}) and ({ssc}*0.4) or {stsc} (0.4 for your 40°)
If steps < step goal, it will progress and if step >= step goal, it will remain full at step goal
I like knowing when I have exceeded my step goal.
I would substitute “({ssc}%8000)” (which is step count mod 8000) for “{ssc}” in your formula, which simply restarts the progress indicator. I then adjust the color of the ring:
color: {ssc} <= 8000 and “00ff00” or “ff0000”
Knowing how much I have exceeded my step goal encourages me to keep going 
.
And like this ?
(({ssc}<{stsc}) and ({ssc}*0.4)) or {stsc}
Or
{ssc}<{stsc} and ({ssc}*0.4) or {stsc}
I tried both versions. Doesn’t work. It exactly looks like in my last post.
The main problem is discribed in post 6. Maybe someone of the watchmaker staff can check this.
But I’m still open for ideas.
@fred74 . I tested the Formula that Peter offer us and it works perfectly on my watch . GW8 Clasic . Updated .
40 45 360 80 whatevrer last number .
((math.min(1,{ssc}/{stsc}))*45)
Ok, this was the only formula I have not tested. But it seems this formula works.
First test looks good, but in my opinion it’s only a work around. It would be much easier if the problem in post 6 will be fixed.
Thank you
Sorry . You will have to remind me about the problem in post 6 . In my experiance if it works it is not a work around . You will find in due course that Peter is a Master . He does not like me saying that because like any true Master his humility preceds him / her . There are many changes going on and LUA is a new syntax to me . Stuff that worked in the previous Watchmakes does not now bwcause Google changed the Game . We are all adapting and making it work .
I have looked again at the Problem in Post 6 . We have lots of things that are different on a watch from Studio . But you were testing beyond the task of the Layer . With the simple Formula you are not pushing the boundries . I am certan that Alex will address the issue in due course . He has much to do .
I hope I haven’t upset anyone here. I am very glad to get such good help. I just wanted to point out that the “Target Angle” function worked in the past differently. It was used to limit the maximum angle, but now it doesn’t. Ideally, the Studio should work in such a way that what you see there appears exactly the same way on the watch face. The issue mentioned in post #6 has nothing to do with Lua. I hope you understand what I mean.
That’s why I suggested it might be a bug. If it’s due to the new Google rules, then perhaps it can’t be changed.
Thanks again for your help.

I have noticed on this Forum that there is not many upsets . Sometimes there is Misunderstanding . Yes there are a few cracks where it is different watch to studio . Lerning them all is not easy .
Russell from Cornwall .
Very good. Try the following formula {ssc}*40/360
Hi @Jmc1876 . Good to see you here . You formula does not account for the steps goal which is a variable . The major issue is the progress ring over runs on the watch when the Count is greater than the Goal but not in Studio simulation .
