Any way to access total steps quicker? Have on main display?

[marlonapp]

One of my biggest gripes with the watch is that I have to dig for the total steps. One of the main reasons I have the watch is for fitness. Is there anyway to have the total steps displayed on the main display? I've tried pedometer apps, and some allow you to have the steps on your main display, but they do not update live - you still have to launch the app to refresh the total steps.

I wish Apple would fix this. Thanks for any suggestions!

Looks like the Calendar complication.

Unless you're referring to the 396, which is the amount of active calories burned.

There is no Complication listed for steps in wOS3 beta. Where are you seeing steps? All I see is the Calendar Complication at the bottom in all 3 examples.

There are third party apps that have complications for steps taken. One is Pedometer. They work well but they will be off by about 10+ minutes since you cannot update whenever you want.

The example above isn't steps - just calories and exercise minutes and stand

Below the time is calaries, exercise and time standing. Not steps.

Running Beta complication is Pedometer ++ showing steps.

The only way to see steps on the face presently is with complications. As mentioned above, Pedometer has one, StepCard is another, and you can see mine here: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/step-counter-complication-app.1980669/ . You shouldn't need to start any apps for a good step complication. It will update every 10-20 minutes normally.

Developers should file an ER for a steps Complication. While steps (the 10,000 number anyway) has always been more about selling pedometers than the panacea of health metrics, it would still be nice to have the option as a Complication.

Totally agree, I would prefer live steps option. Instead of Apple health circles, more simple like Fitbit.
