Apple Watch is excellent for a number of reasons, one of which isits fitness and activity tracking. As you may have discovered, Apple Watch offers a Weekly Summary that gives you various totals for the week, such as kilocalories, steps, distance, flights climbed and active time. It’s a rolling tally for the whole week and on Monday, it refreshes.
What’s a little annoying however, is that once it refreshes, you may’t then see that detailed summary on yourWatchagain. You can, however, see the information elsewhere and go back through the previous weeks to see how you are improving. Here’s how to find and see your Weekly Summary, which includes your weekly steps on Apple Watch and iPhone.
