I’ll play too. Got my first Apple Watch in March of last year, and have gotten a perfect month every month since. Here is Month 11:
How do we know you don’t have your exercise and move goals crazy low? I have my move goal at 1,000 and exercise goal at 75 minutes. I always close the stand goal...pretty consistently close the other 2.
I was just with a friend and his dinged telling him he’d accomplished his goal. It was 10:30 in the morning and I know he hadn’t been to the gym. We were in the pool with the kids and he was waving his arms in the water while sitting on a pool noodle. Watch didn’t realize he is buoyant in water AND he had his move goal set to 240 calories! Weak sauce.

You don't.
Mine is reasonable, at 340, but I have a desk job and kids. I can hit the goal on an average day, but I have to plan in the hour of activity to get 30 minutes of exercise. If I recall correctly, Julien typically lifts weights and then runs 3-7 miles daily, and posts pictures from his runs. My guess is that his is between 700-1000 as well.
Yeah man, it’s hard! I have 4 kids and a desk job too. Standing desk and lots of pacing while on calls. Brutal.
Agreed. Having a standing desk has actually made things easier for me. When i sit for lunch, everything has seized up by the time I'm done. I plan three walks around our building during the day, and then walk at least 30 minutes each night so my dog gets outside time.
Someone doesn't know what they are talking about.

Also here's my last 6 days as proof.
Now are you still questing my effort and Rings?

I read that and thought that maybe this was a recent change! It is frustrating you can't change it.
I do see them as goals rather than something I would just always complete with my normal lifestyle. Surely the point is that is pushes you to do more exercise than you would otherwise do.
I have move set to 720 and hit it probably 5 or 6 days out of 7. There has been occasions where I have run the extra km or gone for a late night walk to close them out.
You guys are right! I could have sworn I changed it years ago when I set it up, but apparently I didn’t! As you can see I don’t ALWAYS close them all, but I always get the blue one and get the others ~5 days per week. It’s the pink one that is hardest to get.
This month my daily goal is 1,370 calories per day, every month before that it’s been 1,000. Here is my proof, any more questions?:
@Jason Hensley the only question I have is have you tripled that goal?!
My next goal is to top 2500cal in one day. I came close a few days ago.

The Apple Watch was originally released 47 months ago. So both.
You’re a beast Julien

Yea I may be partially crazy. I have spreadsheets of every cardio workout since Jun 2004. Keep up with ever calorie consumed for about 10 years and switched to MyFitnessPal about 4 years ago (1350 days). Weight and body fat for about 15 years.
That's serious dedication. I have spreadsheets of other things (I started tracking car mileage in 2005, and expenses in '98), but when I started running in June of 2013, Runkeeper tracked everything for me, so i didn't have to.
Or serious obsession. Who the heck needs workout data from over 14 years ago?? Unless you have a serious medical condition and NEED to keep track of every workout then I can't see a possible scenario where you would ever need to re-visit 14 year old data...
