I recently switched from Fitbit to Apple Watch. However, I’d really like to view my live steps and total burned calories (so active + resting) on my watchface. A complementary widget on my iPhone that shows the same would be a plus as well.

I already gathered that to do this I’d need a 3rd party app and that is fine. However, I can’t find any suitable options so I’d thought I’d ask here. I’ve seen Healthface be recommended in older posts, but recent reviews seem to indicate that it doesn’t work that well anymore so I’m hesitant to spend money on it. I’ve installed and am using the StepsApp at the moment, but it seems the steps aren’t live (currently about 1000 steps behind on the native Activity app) and the calories shown are only the active calories (not the total: active + resting).

Essentially, I’m looking for the data that Fitbit shows on their watches, but have them be shown on my Apple Watch.

Are there any recommendations that fit my wishes?

    How would you rate Pedometer on the other wishes I’d stated? Can it give me the total kcal and steps on the watchface?

      it can show several variations of count, progress, goal and distance. or just one of those at a time.

      for total calories you’ll probably need to add a food intake app. Apple activity focuses on active calories, while passive calories are estimated from your health stats and the time you are not asleep.
