onchange event for steps?

[MolliorMerx]

I have searched pretty thoroughly, and haven't been able to find it.

does steps (today.local.steps or today.adjusted.steps) support an event handler?

I'd love to trigger something on every step. I read all the threads about capturing steps when the watch face is off, but that's not necessary. I only care when the user is looking at the watch while walking.

Thanks!

No, unfortunately.

In addition, there can be a fair delay (about 6 steps) between when the wearer starts walking and when the step count starts counting up. It catches up, but that latency could be a problem (depending on what you're trying to do).

Thanks for the reply. It's not critical, more of a nice-to-have. There are many other features I'd rather have than this, so once all those are in place, maybe then I'll submit a request for it.

The most optimal way is just to update the display during the clock tick event with seconds granularity.

Thanks! That's what I ended up doing.
