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
It is not possible to change any of the Activity app goal rings to reflect steps taken or to show steps on the watch face via any other built-in complication. The Activity app also does not include a daily steps goal or allow one to be set.
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:
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++

Watch My Health
HealthDash for Health App
