Update 28/01/2024: The Apple Watch’s software has undergone significant changes since I wrote this post, for example the app is now called Fitness not Activity.
Would you like to quickly find out your stats for the day on your Apple Watch? Here’s how to do it:
1. Press the Digital crown (the round button on the side) to go to your list of apps.
2. Find “Activity” and open it.
3. Turn the Digital crown away from you until the haptic vibrations stop.
4. Swipe left (item by item) and you will hear your total distance, steps, flights climbed and more for the current day.
