I just found out about the WatchConnectivity Framework: https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/watchos/documentation/WatchConnectivity/Reference/WatchConnectivity_framework/index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40015269The Watch Connectivity framework (WatchConnectivity.framework) provides a two-way communications conduit between an iOS app and a WatchKit app on a paired Apple Watch. Apps use this framework to pass files and data back and forth. Live communication is possible when both apps are active; otherwise, you send data in the background so that it is available when the other app launches.So yes, you can request pedometer data from the Watch app in the background!
