Footsteps, on your wrist

Every step, your sound.

Your Apple Watch feels each step through your wrist and plays the footstep sound you picked, in time with your stride.

Three built-in footsteps, or a sound you record yourself. Works on the watch alone or with your iPhone.

01How it keeps time

Your arm swing is the metronome.

  1. Start a walk on your watchPress Start on the watch. No phone needed in your pocket.
  2. The watch reads your arm swingWrist motion alone tells it when each foot lands, whether you walk or run.
  3. A sound lands with every stepThe footstep plays in real time, and your step count adds up as you go.

With Premium, use your iPhone's microphone to record a sound, trim it, and send it to your watch. A clap, a toy, a heel on marble.
