Apple Watch: Activity tracking – what you need to know

The Activity app enables you to see you make a progress toward the Move goal, the Exercise goal and the Stand goal for the day. Apple Watch tracks your activity, that’s your movements, and translates them in calories burned, time spent on exercises, whether the user meets the target of standing for at least one minute in an hour. The Activity app includes charts that show your activity for each hour of the day.

Activity Complication

The easiest way to see your Activity status is to put an Activity complication on the Watch face. A certain number of Activity complications are available for different positions and watch faces. They range from a tiny three-ring graphic to the text complication which enables the user to see directly on the watch face the number of calories you have burned, the number of minutes he or she has exercised, and the number of hours they have stood. Whichever Activity complication the user adds to the watch face, it is possibly to tap the complication to go straight to the Activity app for full details.

How to sync Today’s Activity Data from Apple Watch to iPhone?

If Apple Watch and iPhone are connected, Apple Watch syncs the current day’s activity data to iPhone through the day. The device does it automatically. If the iPhone is far from Apple Watch, Apple Watch monitors your activity and catches up with iPhone afterward when the devices are in range again.

If the Activity app on iPhone does not show the current activity data from Apple Watch, enable Airplane Mode on Apple Watch or on iPhone for a minute. Disable then Airplane Mode, and when the devices reconnect, Apple Watch will sync activity data to iPhone.
