Series 1 (yep!) Watch to measure steps

[woolypants]

As part of a fitness regime, I'd like to walk 5,000 to 10,000 extra steps each day.

For this I'm considering using my old series 1 Watch, which has been in a drawer for a few years. It'd be coupled to my iPhone 13 Pro Max.

It can do that, right? I'd just put it on before I went for a walk each day, measure the steps while walking, and then put it back on charge when I got back home.

Ideally, I'd just monitor steps, distance and time. Is there an app that does JUST those things?

(Note: I found the Watch a little clunky to wear all the time, hence it ending up on a drawer.)

depending on what iOS you’re running in your iPhone. I don’t believe the Apple Watch Series 1 is supported in iOS 16.

Even the Series 0 should work with iOS 16, so you‘re good to go.

The iPhone itself will measure steps if that's all you want. Go and check the health app and you'll see. You obviously need to be carrying the phone.
