Steps visibility can be really important sometimes if you are planning to choose a daily target. Let’s understand today the step-by-step process to stay updated with your steps. We will also include how to see distance trends that you covered as well. With this simple guide, you’ll gain valuable insights into your health, making it easier to achieve your fitness goals.

Without further ado, let’s jump into the process and solve the hassle of finding the right step-tracking solution. 

How to See steps on Apple Watch

Firstly, pair your Apple Watch with your iPhone, as whenever you’re going for a walk, it will automatically track your steps while you are wearing the watch. 

Let’s follow the steps down below to check your steps:

• When you have the “Activity watch face” on your Apple Watch, click on the rings;
• Scroll down at the bottom of the app;
• You will find the “Total Steps” covered there.

 

See Steps from Apple Watch App Menu

You can also see your completed steps by going through the app drawer of your Apple Watch. For doing that, follow the steps down below:

• While in a watch face, press your digital crown of your Apple Watch to view all your apps;
• Find your activity application (With rings) and open it;
• Scroll down at the bottom of the app;
• You will find the “Total Steps” covered there.

How to See Steps Always On Watch Face

You can even check the steps counter for always while viewing your watch. This process allows you to check the steps taken without going that far inside the “Activity Application”. To do that, you need a little help from a third-party application. Follow the process down below to see “steps counter” for always:

• Go to your iPhone’s App Store;

• Search “Pedometer++” Application;

• Once installed, open your Watch App on your iPhone ;

• Tap on your “Activity Digital” watch face (Under My Faces);

 

• Now Tap on “Bottom”;

• Scroll Down and find “Pedometer”;

• Tap & select “Pedometer” (✓ Tick Mark Will Show if It is selected).

Now go back to your Apple Watch’s activity app’s lock screen and you will be able to see the Steps counter showing there.

Find Distance Trends

Checking the distance covered is simple, as it is just beside the steps counter of the Activity App. To check that, follow the process down below:

• When you have the Activity watch face for your Apple, click on the rings;
• Scroll down at the bottom of the app;
• At the bottom you will find the number of distances covered just beside the steps; 
• Tap again on the distance to see your detailed distance trend. 

So that’s about it guys, now you can see or check your “distance trends” and numbers of “steps taken” by walking while you are wearing the Apple Watch.

Do keep in mind that, sometimes if the steps count doesn’t match with your iPhone’s app information due to not syncing properly or connectivity issues. When refreshed and once connected and syncing together, both iPhone’s activity steps and your Apple Watch’s steps counter will show the same result.
