I previously had a Fitbit that would remind me at 10 till every hour to move if I had not walked at least 250 steps. Do Apple Watches (specifically the Series 3) have such a feature that will remind me to take steps hourly if I have not walked a certain amount? I know there are breathe and stand reminders, but I am interested in step reminders.
Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 4.2
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 or provide hourly or any other steps reminders.
Your daily steps total can be viewed:
Open the app and scroll to the bottom of the screen.
Select to view a day's results, then scroll to the bottom to see Steps and Distance.
You may find that a third-party app meets your needs, including for keeping track of your steps on the watch face, if desired, by adding a complication from a third-party app:
Change the watch face on your Apple Watch - Apple Support
Apps that you may wish to consider include, for example:
Stepz - Step Counter on the App Store
Watch My Health on the App Store
HealthDash for Health App - Activity Dashboard on the App Store
