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.

Apple Watch and your activity tracking – what you need to know

  • Lift your wrist to wake Apple Watch and view the watch screen.
  • Click the Digital Crown, and the Home screen will appear.
  • Tap Activity, and the activity app opens.
  • When the Activity screen appears, the red circle will show your progress toward the Move goal.
  • The green screen shows the progress toward the Exercise goal.
  • The blue circle shows your progress toward the Stand goal.
  • Another circle, the overplaying one shows that you have exceeded your goal.
  • Swipe left, and the Move screen appears, showing your progress toward the Move goal in calories.
  • Swipe up, and the Move chart will appear, showing your calorie burn as a column chart over the hours of the day.
  • Swipe left, and the Exercise screen will appear, showing the progress toward the Exercise goal in minutes.
  • Swipe up to view the Exercise chart showing the minutes you exercised in the various hours of the day.

  • Swipe up again, and the stand chart will appear, showing which hours you stood for a minute.
  • Click the Digital Crown to see the watch face.

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.
