How to track steps on an Apple Watch?

I have an Apple Watch which I use mainly for cycling and don't wear otherwise.

I still would like to track my steps in Fitness app with my iPhone like I used to do before I purchased the Apple Watch. Now after purchasing the Apple Watch the Fitness app is empty if I don't wear the Apple Watch. Weird thing is that the Health app tracks my steps (via iPhone) but those are not synced to the Fitness app.

Is there a way to track the steps with Fitness app in a case when you own an Apple Watch but don't wear it all the time?

Mas allá de la medición de pasos, resulta frustrante que ambos productos no puedan funcionar de manera independiente y luego, al emparejarse, actualizar sus mediciones; confío en que apple pronto lo resolverá en una próxima actualización.

As noted, it doesn't seem to be possible. Wear the watch. Or just use the information in Health.

From a post on page 1:

You can also consider using an app such as StepApp that sync to Health and has nice graphics and will let you set a goal.
