How can I get my watch to count my steps
I cannot get my Apple series 1 watch to count my steps. How do I do this?
Apple Watch, iOS 6.1
Hi
Once it has been set up, the Activity app tracks your steps automatically in the background, both during general daily wear and during workouts:
Use the Activity app on your Apple Watch - Apple Support
Your daily steps total can be viewed:
- Via the Activity app on your watch:
Open the app and scroll to the bottom of the screen.
- Via the Activity app on your iPhone:
Select to view a day's results, then scroll to the bottom to see Steps and Distance.
- Via the Health app on your iPhone:
- Go to Health Data > Activity > Steps.
- Adding Steps to Favourites adds it to top section of the Today screen (accessed via the Today tab) and the Favourites section within the Activity category.
- Use the Health app on your iPhone or iPod touch - Apple Support
If you would prefer to keep track of your steps on the watch face, then you can add a complication using a third-party app:
Change the watch face on your Apple Watch - Apple Support
Apps that you may wish to consider include, for example:
Pedometer++
- Integrates with the Health app and offers watch face complications:
- Pedometer++ on the App Store
Watch My Health
