Why no complication for steps?

So many people gauge their day’s activity by counting steps, including me. I think it would be helpful for Apple to add steps as a complication for the watch. When I switched to Apple Watch last year I had to buy an app for tracking steps and was annoyed that it was the only way I could easily see my step count on the watch face and, it doesn’t totally agree with Apple’s step count.

Workout routes not showing in 9.2 (Race Route) In WatchOS 9.2 I’m not seeing routes in the Workout app. When I go to the start of my route, select Outdoor Run and filter on Routes, there are no options. I run the same route all the time and it shows up in Fitness on my iPhone so I know the watch and/or phone is recording the route. I thought it might have something to do with my route not being along a public road. So I just tested by running the same half mile twice on a sidewalk next to a road known to Maps. It measured the 0.5 miles the same within a stride or two so that tells me the GPS reading is consistent. Still when I went back to the start of the route it did not show up in Workouts.

Pace range alerts (custom outdoor running workouts) issue after 9.2 WatchOS update Weird obscure issue started happening after the upgrade to 9.2. I would like help on this in case I am missing something (to be clear, Apple, this is not a poll). When i go into workout settings for an outdoor run and try to set my pace range alerts, i only have 4 options under the Upper Limit. When I look at my previous settings, it show's for example that my Upper Limit was set to 11'00" But when I click on Upper Limit and go to that screen, the scrolling selection options are only 3'00", 3'10", 3'20", 3'30" --- doesn't matter what lower limit is set to. I've restarted the watch (and iphone) and tried creating new run workouts without seeing this behavior change. I've got a support req in and waiting for a callback but figured I'd post, as well. Phone is 14 pro max and is also on the latest OS update.

Apple Watch SE (2022) Sleep Tracker doesn’t work Hello, My watch that I got two days ago does not track my sleep cycles but only when I was asleep based on the already provided time intervals. In the Health app however under my profile > privacy > devices > Apple Watch - it doesn’t mentioned sleep tracking at all but everything else is there. Health App > Browse > Sleep > Data Sources & Access - the Apple Watch is not there at all and I have no option to add it. As far as I’ve read online this should be the issue but can’t seem to find how to solve it. Would someone be able to help? Thank you!
