Apple Watch was originally designed by Apple to help its user track their health and well-being. As such, there are numerous features embedded in the Apple
Watch designed to help in that regard. From checking your heart rate, your activities and many more, the Apple Watch is designed to cater for you.
In that vein, there are accelerometers embedded in the Apple Watch designed to know when you stand to determine how often you’re active in the day.
Does Apple Watch count steps?
Among others, the Apple Watch through its Activity app can track how many steps you take within a day.
Once you have it set up, the Activity app on Apple Watch will run automatically in the background during general daily activities and during workouts, tracking your activity including how many steps you take and the distance you walked.
Your daily steps total can be viewed whenever you want on your Apple watch using the Activity app.
Statistics from all available sources on your Apple Watch are displayed in the Health app on your iPhone to show you how well you’re doing.
