Note that you can force-touch any screen in the <em>Activity<\/em> app to display the <em>Options<\/em> screen. On the <em>Move<\/em> screen you can see your current Move goal.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">On the <em>Options<\/em> screen, tap <em>Change Move Goal<\/em> to display the <em>Change Move Goal<\/em> screen.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">You can tap <em>Increase<\/em> or <em>Decrease<\/em> to adjust the calorie count.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Tap <em>Update<\/em>, and the <em>Move<\/em> screen will appear again. It will show the new target.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span id=\"How_to_Use_the_Activity_app_on_Apple_Watch\">How to Use the Activity app on Apple Watch<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">With the <em>Activity<\/em> app on your Apple Watch, users can track how much you move, exercise, and stand from day to day. If you wear your Apple Watch throughout the day, <em>Activity<\/em> can automatically track your daily movements. Thus the user can check his or her progress, meet goals, and customize notifications. Don&#8217;t forget to enter some information about yourself to get started.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Move:<\/em> On the watch, the Move ring shows how many active calories you&#8217;ve burned so far. Active calories, unlike resting, are those calories that you burn by standing or moving around. You can complete your daily <em>Move goal<\/em> by burning active calories every day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Exercise:\u00a0<\/em>The Exercise ring shows how many minutes of brisk activity you&#8217;ve completed so far. Complete your daily Exercise goal by exercising for at least 30 minutes each day. Learn how to meet your exercise goal. You can earn Exercise and Move credit. Indeed, every full minute of movement that equals or exceeds the intensity of a brisk walk counts toward your daily <em>Exercise and Move<\/em> goals. (But for wheelchair users, the intensity is measured in brisk pushes). Any activity below this level counts only toward your daily Move goal. Make sure that you earn Exercise credit during walks by allowing the arm with your Apple Watch to swing naturally. For example, while walking your pet, let the arm with your watch swing freely while the other holds the leash. Note that even if you need both hands while walking, for example to push a stroller, you can still earn Exercise credit by using the Workout app. The Activity app relies on arm motion and an accelerometer to track movement. On the contrary, the Workout app can use the accelerometer, a heart rate sensor, and the GPS on your iPhone if you carry it with you. Open the Workout app on your Apple Watch, tap Outdoor Walk, and bring your iPhone on the walk.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Stand:<\/em> The Stand ring shows hours in which you&#8217;ve stood and moved for at least a minute. You can complete your daily Stand goal by standing up and moving around for at least one minute during twelve different hours in the day. Keep in mind that even if you stand all day, you still need to move around. If you&#8217;ve specified that you use a wheelchair, the Stand ring will switch to the Roll ring. The Roll ring will show hours in which you\u2019ve pushed around for at least one\u00a0minute.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"How_to_Share_Your_Activity\">How to Share Your Activity<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Stay motivated by sharing your activity with your family, friends,neighbors or trainer. When your friends meet all three Activity goals, finish workouts, or earn achievements, you get notifications about their progress. To get started, add your friends and after you have added friends, open the <em>Activity<\/em> app. Once the <em>Activity<\/em> app is open, swipe left. Then tap a friend to see their stats for the day. You can even send a message to all your friends which you have added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">You can also set notifications and view your complete Activity history. To set notifications, use your iPhone to set them up, as well as reminders. You can also use Apple iPhone if you want to check your Activity history. To do this, \u00a0in the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, tap the <em>My Watch<\/em> tab. Then tap <em>Activity<\/em>. Now choose your notifications and reminders. If you need to\u00a0see your complete <em>Activity<\/em> history, go to the <em>Activity<\/em> app on your iPhone. Tap <em>My Watch<\/em>\u00a0tab to see details about your all day activity, workouts, and achievements.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Note that if you don&#8217;t see the <em>Activity<\/em> app on your iPhone, just restart your iPhone. After the phone restarts, check again for the Activity app. Don&#8217;t forget though that this app will appear only after you pair your iPhone and Apple Watch.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Links\">Links<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-us\/HT212501\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Change your goals on your Apple Watch<\/a> &#8211; Apple Support<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">It\u2019s very hard to part with, but if must say good-by to your old Apple Watch, don\u2019t forget to contact us, we at iGotOffer will only be happy to buy it from you for the best price online: <a href=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/wearable\/apple\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sell your Apple Watch<\/a>.
