2 Days to go to make it 2 for 2. I need some competition for inspiration in order to get the next 2 days.
I'll be taking a few days off in July so I'll have to next shoot for the 8/15 award to go with my 5/15 and 6/15 awards.
Forgot to wear my watch to work but made up for it. I sadly won't reach the stand goal, although I know in real life I stood for 16 hours, lol
Have you guys who've had the watch longer than I learned how the stand goal is achieved? I just today got the reminder to stand and I walked around my house for 5 minutes but I got an idle hour, and no notification that I achieved it.
Anyone have trouble getting the activity rings to update on the phone? I should have a perfect month!!!!! but right now, the phone app is only showing partial data for June 29th and nothing for June 30th. I've had it before where I've had to reboot the phone, watch or both to get the app to update, but of course this morning, nothing seems to be working and my 6/2015 badge isn't appearing..... I'll be really pissed off if I lose the badge due to an apple bug! I've worked so hard for it the past 30 days!
My June looked like this
Didn't get credited for the perfect month. But then again I do this for my own health not to get a graphic credit. But it would've been nice to HAVE!!

Weird. My perfect month showed up yesterday as soon as I filled my move ring
Here's my best run that I did on Friday, albeit on a treadmill:

I know! This is making me feel bad about it all. I only started working out near the new year (hah), have been slowly getting good, went down from weighing 175lbs to 150 lbs, so felt pretty good that I was spending 45 minutes at the gym, burning about 400 active calories per day (estimate since I didn't have any fitness trackers before the Apple Watch). I don't see how you guys manage to burn 1000+! Give us some tips
I do over 1000 a day fairly regularly by cycling to work and back, and then going for a 45 minute run in the evening. Work is about 6 miles from home.
So after troubleshooting my technical difficulties, I ended up having to reset both the watch and the phone. Unfortunately that meant I lost all my activity data to date and am starting from scratch. The badges were nice to have, but at least I know that I put in the extra effort to earn the rings every day.
Since you guys are the Activity experts, what is the relationship between the watch and the phone in relation to steps taken?
If I push a stroller or mow the grass, my arm is not swinging or in motion and does not register steps. But the phone does (I guess in part due to GPS). Why can't the phone deliver that information to the watch?
And vice versa....I have steps app on the phone but they don't register any of the steps I've taken with Apple Watch only.

Up until a few weeks ago I got lazy filling in the rings. On top of that, I was eating like crap. So I started to diet/exercise and I made it a mission to fill out those rings.
I've lost 10 pounds in the past 2 weeks and I'm under 200 pounds for the first time in months. Thanks Apple Watch!

I only enabled the activities a week or so ago despite having my Watch for over a month now. Promised myself I would use it to get up off my butt, lose some weight and be more fit. No where near you guys in rings and calories burnt but was pretty happy to have made my standing ring and receive a 200% award for move.
Almost ready to call it a night when I checked the rings and saw I didn't need to burn too many more calories to reach 300%. Dang if the Watch didn't motivate me to eek out those last few calories in the last 10 minutes I had before midnight. Felt good to see it pop up 1 calorie over my goal and get the award. Do you guys feel motivated to complete when you know you're close?
I call that last reward my Xena warrior shield. Now to color it all in. Just noticed checking app on my phone that I also was awarded the exercise achievement. Must have put the watch on the charger and it never got sent.

Hit all 3 goals today by 4pm and doubled my calorie goal. Adrenaline got the best of me, haha. And I have a nice streak going.
This just seems excessive...
Haha...I only got two hours of sleep last night due to a late arrival in Orlando, and then traveling to my parents' house, then having to wake up a few hours later to take my mom to have her knee replacement done, then running around doing errands the rest of the day. I can almost guarantee I'll never have this many Stand hours in one day again. At least I hope not. The good news is that my streak of completing all the rings (since my last Watch reset) is still going. But...it's finally bedtime, and ain't no alarm being set.

I've thought about staying up all day to get 24 hours but having to stand up each hour of it makes me think it's a bad idea. Congrats on your 22 hours though!
Had an interesting experience this morning. Now I am no speed demon by any means but so will hang up the shoes if I ever run a 17 minute mile. Plus, I came out of the gates strong this morning.
A few theories why the time/distance is wrong
A few theories why the time/distance is wrong
- I am running with the public beta on my iPhone
- Need to maybe recalibrate the iPhone and Watch again?
- During the run, did I accidentally hit pause and restart?
- Something is wrong with the hardware

But look, I got the 100 days one!Yes, quite a lot of my activity data for the past three days is not on my phone. I came to check the forums to see if anyone knew what's going on or how to get that data to show up.
Are you on the iOS 9 beta? Since going to 9 I've noticed the syncing of health data to be quite tricky and usually ends in my restarting and hoping for the best.
