Hi, I'm new in the apple ecosystem.
I want to see my step count progress while doing Outdoor Walk.
Just like I sem my BPM or my TOTAL CAL during the workout.
How can I do it?
Thanks.
Apple Watch Ultra
You will not see real time step counts while walking, but you can see summary of step counts at any time on the activity app.
Tap the activity app, (coloured rings) and on the move goal red ring slide your finger up and it will show the steps you have taken.
It will not be up to date in real time because steps are calcuated from the total distance divided by the calibrated stride.
Steps are also accumulated in the Fitness app several times a day on your iPhone.
You can also start a Workout, type Outside Walk, if you have not already found that. It will show metres or yards walked but not ateps.
See this guide
Start a workout on Apple Watch – Apple Support (UK)
Finally there are third party apps like Strava that also show rea time distance but not steps.

I have the same goal and the Watch and iphone will enable you to monitor your progress through the day.
You asked about "while walking" which is not the same as a daily goal which builds up in other activities too
Try a pedometer app in the Discover part of the Watch app
You can always give feedback directly to Apple if this is a feature you would like to see in future updates: Product Feedback - Apple.
This is very interesting, for more than two years I used the Google Fit application on Android, I would choose Track workout and then in the Activity type I would choose Walking.
When my goal in every such training was to reach 10,000 steps.
What prompted Apple's programmers to change the purpose of walking training?
I tried Pedometer++ app.
It doesn't show in real time the amount of steps I take during a workout, but only at the end of the workout it showed the amount of steps I took. Do I need to check other apps or will no app show me this statistic in real time?
I doubt if any apps will do that but I have no experience
I do a 4km walk every day using Strava which is about 5000 steps and the rest comes from normal daily movements,
So actually if one day from your normal daily movements you reach to 4,000 steps, then you need to estimate for yourself how many kilometers you need to walk to reach the goal of 10,000 steps.
No the 4km is enough
and my 10,000 steps is a target not a commitment
The rest was pottering round the house and doing some shopping while the car was in the workshop
Okay, thanks.
How to view steps count when doing Outdoor Walk with the apple watch?
