...that I've found.
I've been loving my AW since getting it last week. I bought it mainly as a FitBit replacement / upgrade after wearing out my third FB band in less than four years. Even though the Charge HR bands are replaceable now, it still came away at the display, and came unstuck from the part that connects to the watch part.
I looked at a load of pedometer apps, but struggled to find one that had a decent amount of info, that included steps. A lot of the basic step counter ones don't seen to have a lot else, and the more well known running orientated ones didn't seem to have steps.
In the end I found one called Runmeter, which I can't recommend enough. The actual iPhone app is a little fussy and basic looking (although packed with info), but the watch app is almost perfect. Unlike a lot of the others, it is highly customisable. So the main page is a bit like the modular watch face, where you can display up to five stats out of about 50. A lot are pretty obscure, but I have it set up to show walking time on the top row/ (with stopped time in a smaller font next to it)/.Middle row I have steps and distance, and the bottom row I have heart rate and calories burned. Which for me was the ideal set of info I'd be interested in looking at. You can even change the colour of each figure.
There are a few other pages, such as little speedometer graphics showing heart rate, plus average and max heart rate; pace/km, plus average and fastest pace; a page showing the walk time and % walk time in different bands of pace; as well as stuff on splits and laps.
And you can send everything to Strava straight from the app at the end of a walk, although I guess you can do this with Heath anyway.
Anyway, if anyone is looking for a good app for tracking stats while walking (or running I guess), its well worth a look.

[doublepost=1521054886][/doublepost]I should say that I am in no way affiliated with these guys. I really have been looking at a lot of these apps - its the old thing where a lot do 80% of what you want, or how you would like it laid out, but it takes a bit of a look to find one that hits the spot.
