Currently not possible, sadly. Like said, wearable support is coming (hopefully soon-ish), but for the time being you'll need to carry the phone with you to get steps counted in the game.
Have you considered a true pedometer? Way less bulk than a phone (and maybe even your watch).
Would the app talk to that nicely?
When I wore the Google watch, I would leave the phone at home and it would count just fine along with providing the path on a map afterwards (with other biometric data of course). Not sure about other vendors.
Did that happen automatically or did you need to set it up a particular way to make that happen?
I didn't configure it in any special way. It did that out of the box. I have stopped using it though because the battery life was pathetic.
