The checklist

  • List what you count most often, and stop at eight. That is how many counters the app keeps.
  • Name each counter after the thing itself, not a number, so you never mix them up.
  • Set the step size to match how things come: 1 for people, 2 for pool lengths if you count laps, 5 or 10 for packs.
  • Add a target where there is a fixed goal, like a set number of reps or a room limit.
  • Select the counter you use most so it shows on the Tile.
  • Put the complication on your watch face for a glance at the number.
  • Decide on haptics and sound: haptics only for quiet places, both if you count outdoors.
  • Practice with the crown or bezel until you know how much one step takes.
  • Lock any counter you are not actively using.
  • Know your safety net: resets ask first, and the most recent one can be undone.
  • Write the final number somewhere else when it matters, since counts are kept only on the watch.
