Activity - no total accumulated Steps & Distance Wish Ultra 2 Activity app would show total accumulated Steps & Distance walked on a Weekly basis on the Ultra2 app and on a History basis on the iPhone app. It's really good to know total accumulated Steps & Distance traveled during the Week and Month (not just in a certain type of Walk workout) - should not be so hard for Apple software designers. In fact, total accumlated Steps & Distance walked on a Weekly basis WAS shown on my Series 7 iWatch - why did Apple remove this very helpful feature?

Displaying total running distance as watch face complication A long time ago I was using the Nike app for my runs. A highlight was the complication that very simply showed how many KMs (or miles) I’ve so far ran per month to show my progress and keep me motivated. It was super good for me as I had a goal to run a total of 100KM minimum every month. For many reasons I have changed to Apple’s Workouts app for my runs. The biggest thing I’ve lost is no way to do the same thing as a watch face complication to show total running distance per month (or weekly would be OK too). I’ve not figured out how to do it. Does anyone know how to set this up as a complication for Workouts? One that shows my total running distance for a defined period… not just the Workouts icon as a shortcut link.
