When I got the 200% move goal award once, after a while I noticed that I got it twice. I tried to fix this by rebooting my iPhone and Apple Watch and noticed that I got it again. And after another reboot, I got the award again.... As I understood it, it is got achieved after restart. By the way, with a 300% award, it's the same.
Anyone has had such an experience and how can I fix it and prevent it for the next time?

Curious what versions of iOS and watchOS you are running... could be a bug... I have seen something similar with my exercise tracking... sometimes exercise minutes don't register... rebooting both devices usually resolves the issue and it works again until it doesn't... sometimes it will work for a week or so... other times I have to do the device reboot dance daily (or even multiple times daily).

BTW, I am running the latest version of each (iOS 15.3.1 and watchOS 8.4.2).

there is a bug indeed, I've achieved it more times than I have achieved my move goal ;)
it is (and was at some point) accumulated from starting working out, independent of reboot.
If it bothers you, report it to Apple ...
I'm on the latest versions

Curious how you are able to attain the 200% move goal "more times than I have achieved my move goal"... that would be impossible, as you must reach the 100% goal in order to get to the 200% goal. The best you could do is reach both goals an equal number of times (the 100% award is exactly HALF WAY to the 200% goal).

exactly, that's why it must be a bug ...

It seems that this bug has existed for several years and apple knows about it but does not want to fix it.
Perhaps many do not count the goals and think that they really earned them so many times, if apple fixes the bug then users may notice that it was, which apple is afraid of.
