![]() But the point’s don’t change! Seems like if you hit 600, you’re golden, they are not going back down. ![]() You’ll feel a bit guilty and most likely go back and adjust the target back up to something more realistic. You can change your target calories during the competition! This seems unfair!Īnd worse - if you change your target to something really low (like 10 calories a day for example), after you watch the Exercise ring spin and spin like you’ve just completed an IronMan, you will be awarded the points most likely taking you to a maximum of 600 for the day. Because otherwise the whole thing can become a mockery … It’s way to easy to cheat on target calories! Having points based on your target calories is a good idea to try and level the playing field when you are competition against one of the Brownlee’s for example (or someone a bit like them), and it makes sense to agree with whoever your competing against what target calories you are going to each have (ideally it should be a realistic target for both of you so have 500 for you and 5000 for Alistair)Īctually it’s essential to be honest with your competitor about this and to agree not to change your target calorie goal within the seven days. ![]() in my estimation it most likely happens if you do something active for a short period but don’t start an Activity log. It’s interesting to note that you can burn active calories without increasing your exercise minutes, which is at best counter-intuitive, and at worst sort of wonky. The calories are calculated based on your movements and activity. ![]() So if you set a target of 300 calories then you get 100 points when you hit 300, or 150 points if you hit 450 calories. Since you can set your daily move target to whatever you want (force press the Activity screen on your watch) this one is a bit of a wild card.Īs noted above you get 1 point for each 1% of your target. TIP: If you need something to get you ahead of your competitor and you don’t want to go for a run, try stair stepper and walk up and down the stairs a bit. It doesn’t mean you can’t get Exercise minutes without starting an Activity on Apple Watch or another app though, Apple Watch is still monitoring your heart rate periodically and will detect activity which could give you Exercise credit, but generally it’s more accurate and better if you actually start an Activity specifically on the watch. The ErgData app I used for logging my rowing on a Concept2 machine runs on iPhone but then writes the data to the Activity app too so you get your rings filled. So if you select walking but don’t walk Apple Watch will know! So pick the right Activity type for maximum effect, or select Other for anything not listed (you get a chance to label it afterwards, such as Strength Training).Īnd you can get Exercise minute from third party apps too - that’s Watch apps or even just iPhone apps. Remember the Apple Watch will be looking at your heart rate as well as movement from the accelerometer and the algorithms are finely tuned for each activity type. It’s not as simple as starting an activity, (though that is worth doing because Apple Watch monitors you more accurately during an activity), but you also need to select an Activity type that matches what you are actually doing. The trick is knowing what Apple Watch classifies as Exercise. 1.5 to 2hrs of exercise would most likely kill it every day to get a max 600 points in total. So 30 minutes of exercise is 100 points and 3hrs of exercise is 600 points which is the maximum you can get for all rings in a single day.īut you never really need to do 3hrs because you are going to get at least 100 points from 12 hrs standing, and some from the Move goal too.
