How to add step counter to my watch

Currently complications are limited on how many times per hour they can update. If a complication were permitted to update constantly, battery life would be severely reduced. The compromise to satisfy battery life with also update a current complication is to tap the complication and then open the app to see a current total or have a current reading done. The limit on complications is usually 6 updates per hour.

On a side note, doctors are starting to deemphasize number of steps as a fitness measure.

Hello 4Ronnie,

Currently there isn't a complication to add steps to your Apple Watch face, however you can view your daily steps by following this path:

1. "Open the Activity app on your Apple Watch.
2. Swipe up to see details for each ring.
3. Swipe up again to see more, like your total steps, your distance, and workouts."

Use the Activity app on your Apple Watch - Apple Support

Cheers!

You’d think with “steps” being a metric everyone is talking about this would be a complication option. I care less about standing and more about steps.
