Does anyone know of a good app - either Apple or third party - that I can download that will continuously track calories burned all day?
I used to wear a Fitbit watch that tracked calories burned all the time it was on my wrist but the Apple Watch only tracks calories burned when you activate a workout.
I assume there must be an app that will track so long as the watch is on my wrist.
Any help and suggestions are appreciated.
Actually, the watch tracks total calories as well. According to What is the difference in "active cal… - Apple Community
Total calories include - basal calories + calories burned when doing a workout. Active calories are those that are burned during some activity like swimming running or anything else where your body is moving, Basal are those that your body burns during a day without any activity.
To see the total calories burned for the day first, tap on the Activity app (and History at the bottom left corner if not already selected - then select a day). Then swipe left in the "Move" section to not show the graph and show the Active and Total calories. (Swipe right to return to the graph.). Or, you can use the Health app - tap on Activity.

On your iPhone, tap:
Health > Show All Health Data > Summary
then you can see your Active Energy and Resting Energy (in calories) for the current day. Total calories is the sum of those two. Tap on one of those (or any other pane) and you can also see your history for the day, week, month, or year.

Sorry but I am not seeing where history is on the activity app at all, you mean on the watch’, correct? I can’t find that and if you could be more precise that would be great.
Likewise on the iPhone I don’t know where you mean ….
Many thanks for this.
History from your Apple Watch is stored in the "Fitness" app on your iPhone. There you can see your activity for days past as well as any workouts you recorded on your Apple Watch.
