Smartwatches are mainly used to track our daily activities rather than showing the time. One of the common features of all types of smartwatches is the ability to track the number of steps that we take in a day.

Note: This method applies to all the Apple Watch modes, including Series 1, 2, 3, 4th Gen, and 5th Gen.
