How To Track Steps With Apple Watch

[@HolisticFitnesswithTronzy]

Awesome. It helped me. Thanks :)

[@bellarosa009]

Simple and straight to the point. Great advice on the app.

[@iloveme827]

Thank you!

[@peterwinkler8382]

Thank you so much! I love this clockface.

[@kayasthaumesh3777]

could u please help me how to clear those total steps ,calories and other acitivties n start from zero again???

[@deliacall4826]

Thank you for this video!!! Very helpful!

[@EyeOfScrutiny]

Thanks!

[@momom2515]

Very helpful-thank you

[@prithvisriman]

I love how Tech Insider posts videos on basic stuff like this. Some adults don't know these tips and it'll be useful for them.

[@ivanvalverde7018]

True, yet it’s so hilarious.

[@everysubonepushup]

I am kid

[@reeereee1106]

Yeah we’re all equally clueless about this

[@zzy341]

I am an IT graduate. Just gotten my Apple Watch and spent 2 days trying to figure out how to install the health app and trying very hard to see the number of steps. Why so complicated? iPhone is so simple and I thought iWatch is supposed to be simple too?

[@zzy341]

I don't get how is this basic. Coming from the old days of using step trackers and moving on to smart watch. I thought tracking of steps is the most basic function of a smart watch. Why is it so hard to find? Literally spent hours looking at general guides for the Apple Watch but none specifically mentioned about the step tracker! Thank you to the creator of this video!

[@shebelieves9650]

Pedometer not there. I have the series 7 Nike Edition with the ios 9 update.

[@sagevibes3458]

Pedometer is not showing up in my complications

[@MariaGonzalez-ex6bq]

@ SageVibes I think she meant after you downloaded the “ pedometer ++”.

[@shebelieves9650]

Where is pedometer ?

[@i.can.sew.anythingchic3295]

Your series is older… my series 3 doesn’t show it as well.

[@TheDsmith32]

I just clicked on steps, distance and floors….I was struggling with the same thing because pedometer is a section within itself

[@MrSaurashtrauniversi]

Mine too

[@RATANAGARWALITINFORMER]

Good

[@karankk01]

It's really funny that even a 50$ smart watch shows step count directly but Apple wanted to be different. So they made such a basic thing complicated that it requires a third party app to be able to see step count on the Watch Face. Still the world goes crazy for Apple and paying even $500 for this watch.

[@michellecandis]

It actually tracks without downloading any app- but various developers still do that as it is useful for various ways- not just to do what Apple already does.

[@chloesweet6667]

@@michellecandishuh?

[@karankakwani]

@@michellecandis It tracks but it doesn't show the step count in any of the Watch Faces including the Activity Ring Face.

[@NoNonsenseNan]

why would i need an app if the watch tracks my steps??

[@BrokeAgain]

it is nonsense

[@JadedIsX]

For working out

[@kayzonc]

Apple is a scam lol , just got my watch & hence I’m here

[@NoNonsenseNan]

@@kayzonc what a ridiculous comment

[@TheGJ]

oh cool

[@annykapundu4067]

Thank you for your video 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@30lindam]

What I don't like so far is if I don't select the "walk" it doesn't seem to count those steps. Lost my Fitbit battery & used to all steps being counted automatically. I will install a step counter/pedometer & test it out to see if there is a different distance than on my Apple Watch.

[@allen31951]

My Apple Watch records half the steps my treadmill displays. Any suggestions as to how to correct this would be appreciated. My Apple Watch seems to record my outdoor walks accurately.

[@helpthisasian]

I’m having the same problem too

[@minsuga3983]

I think Apple Watch detects steps through arm movement/swaying. So people who are walking while their hands are on the stroller/grocery cart, for example, have a lower step count.

[@cbatiau2528]

neither works on mine ... my activity app/clockface doesn't scroll down to show steps...

[@jessdiaz5982]

Why the need for a 3rd party app to see your step count on the home display??

[@steves470]

helpful, thanks! first time installing an app on my apple watch, and this helped.. i had to enable a passcode to install the app but i'm all good now - appreciate the video, liked and subscribed

[@rayanshgupta3362]

What is the price of Apple Watch serie 7 41 mm?

[@mathmanchris666]

$399 without cellular

[@JJ-fy1sc]

Got a new SE 2 and while standing still drying my hair it said I did almost 100 steps. :/ Same problem I had years ago and returned two watches even after calibration. How the heck do you avoid this? Its the same when standing baking or cooking. so irritating.

[@thehardcoretruth8777]

Either Apple took this feature away or you have to get an app to be able to do this

[@PLANETWATERMELON]

exactly. wtf?

[@username00009]

Looking now on an SE and scrolling vertically from the Activity app worked just fine. Annoying, but you don’t need a third party app.

[@vplex2568]

For me it therse only pushes

[@satya.bodapati]

The problem with pedometer complication is it doesn't sync and shows outdated values. Only after pressing the pedometer complication, it updates to latest value. Any tricks to solve this problem?

[@satya.bodapati]

It seems Apple restricts the frequency of updates to complications by third party apps. Apparently, to save battery life. it may update after an hour automatically. This is plain stupid restriction by Apple. If I want to use the watch as fitness and I just want the vital details like steps, calories, heartrate to be displayed on watch always.

[@jaimevoxx2212]

This is exactly my disappointment with Apple. I want to see real-time heart rate and steps. Other smart watches that is default

[@RobinSampsonMcCarthy]

cant hear?

[@juliaandrewjuju]

Hi this doesn’t work as pedometer is not in the bottom or any of the drop down lists?? What now??

[@AnfalBalagamwala]

You need to select the face watch which has option to display in the bottom

[@rohanseelamsetty6]

Only 6000 steps? Step up your game insider 😤

[@prithvisriman]

😂😂

[@bennyblanco2091]

Facts. I’m crushing it with 12,000 steps. Just padding my stats

[@preethibhonsle8273]

Thank you helpful

[@U-rok]

0:53 Where is pedometer? Did they get rid of it since then?

[@sidneysullivan6145]

mine doesn't have pedometer??

[@zonedout5998]

Then download it….

[@lowellglover1968]

My watch stoped showing rings. I guess it’s toast

[@TheRichmau5]

Pedometer doesn’t come up. Fake news

[@hads5279]

I still can’t figure out how to actually make it record a walk. I walk my dog for an hour everyday, but I doesn’t always vibrate with a notification asking if I want to record my walk? Can my I just set it up to record my walk before leaving the house? Or am I an idiot?

[@vigilantspb]

You have to start a walk workout manually, which is pretty boring and stupid. Apple watch can’t even show a step counter)) for $400!

[@Wowwwzaaa]

I can’t find pedometer on my watch :( yes I installed it on my phone

[@admintutorial]

My Garmin watch is significantly more efficient tracking steps, floors, and exercise.

[@baocute]

I think the Samsung Galaxy Watch is better

[@mathmanchris666]

it’s not really isn’t but that has nothing to do with the video

[@stevenpotts7978]

@@mathmanchris666 considering it tracks and displays steps without 3rd party apps, it also auto starts workouts, so yeah, it’s better.

[@nfn7121]

Title says “HOW TO TRACK steps with Apple Watch”. This is not telling anyone “HOW TO TRACK”. This is showing you “how to “VIEW” Change the title using the proper description.

[@DejaDoesNegril]

This app is using the phone to track your steps. You still have to have your phone one you

[@Accuratetranslationservices]

Really annoying that this isn’t an instantly apparent thing hence all the searches for this… Like Fitbit is (1) tap screen (to turn it on); (2) tap screen : boom, there’s your steps. Counting in real time too… I realize the Apple Watch does a lot of other frivolous stuff, but Counting steps is the one thing people universally use fitbits for. If Apple just assigned some developer to spend about 45 minutes on this, and made it a box you tick during set up (“Track steps?” “Yes.”.. and then it’s on your display along with the weather and all the extraneous stuff they _do_ put there) they would instantly destroy any competition from Fitbit. But they don’t do this, inexplicably. Just an example of tech autists who are so smart just being so clueless when it comes to how real life people use products like this.

[@user-ft4fx4yd1j]

How stupid Apple is. Why do I need 3rd party app just to show the steps on the watch face.

[@jamesfestini]

For those of you who do not have a pedometer as a complication, I found an app called Duffy and it cost a few bucks but it gives you the complication so it’s totally worth it, you’re welcome. For some reason I do not have the complication option for pedometer, I don’t know why they took it away
