Hi Terry, The One does work with the phone app. You do need sighted help to set it up now though. Once you are set up with the account, and you have the One connected, the app is very accessible.
You can see steps, distance, minutes of activity. You can also set silent alarms.

Would I need a third party app? I am interested in something that will count steps and will give me good accessible information. Thanks for sharing your experience.

If you walk on a treadmill holding the rail or walk with a guide dog, or holding someone's arm, the steps will not count. I have a FitBit One that I clip to my waist or pocket. It counts steps very accurately. I love my Apple watch but not for counting steps.

They are on sale at Best Buy starting at $249 which is the price of a more feature packed fitbit and unlike the fitbit they are accessible and work with the iPhone without needing third party apps. Yesterday I logged over 3,000 steps just cleaning the house while wearing my Apple Watch and I had not even taken my phone off the charger. As an added bonus I got a phone call while making dinner and my phone was in the bedroom so I answered the phone on my watch. The watch band on the Apple Watch also fits better than the fitbit. They are notorious for falling off. Amazon even sells little bags of accessories that you can put on your fitbit to help keep it from falling off your arm because the issue is so prevalent. The only downside for me is I'm getting attitude from Siri times three. My Apple TV 4, my Apple watch, and my iPhone 6S+. If I get any more attitude from Siri, Siri, and Siri I'm going to get an inferiority complex and start thinking I'm no better than any other human being.
