Activity trackers which work with Apple Health (such as Apple Watch) can be connected with the 10,000 Steps Mobile App to sync steps to a 10,000 Steps account. Steps imported from Apple Health will be automatically synced from the day of connection. Retrospective steps can be entered manually via the website Step Log or Mobile App.
