It all depends on what you want out of your watch.
If you turn off Bluetooth then your watch isn't connected to your phone, which means no notifications, no data connection, etc. It will still tell time and track your steps, but I most of the functionality will be neutered.
Turning off location is probably less of an issue, but it could definitely impact specific apps.
Regarding displaying your steps. It depends on the specific watch face that you're using. If you long press on the watch face you can then press the settings (gear) icon and see what options are there for that watch face. A little plus symbol on the face (while viewing the settings) let's you add a "complication" (a additional display for something like steps or missed calls, or battery, etc). Also after long pressing, you can swipe between watch faces. You can also install new watch faces from the play store.
