It appears Apple failed to plan for daylight savings time. Its 10:00 and my watch things there will be no 11:00. I think Apple just needs to squeeze in another bar for fall back and just make them bigger on spring forward day.
Got a tip for us?

Hey is anyone seeing their activity app crash on the watch during the last hour of today? I am. I think its confused about the extra hour.

Yup. And I have just done some extra final-hour working out to try to get my first-ever Perfect Week. Dammit.
Not only the Watch, but the Activity app on my iPhone keeps crashing, too. Restarting the phone hasn't helped; we'll see if restarting the watch changes anything.
Watch: "WTF does '24:35' mean?!"
EDIT #4:
It fixed itself! Cool. New screenshot:

My activity app was crashing once I got the "hour 25" stand credit. Now its fine as long as I don't click on November 1st. I've submitted two bug reports related to the daylight savings time issues. Hopefully they'll be fixed by next year!
I can't open November 1st anymore. Crashes as soon as I click on the date...
I took the plane on the 31st, and changed time zone (-3 hours) and that day still works eventhough I could bust the amount of hours stood. Anyways, they gotta fix the daylight saving time issue.
This is what happens when I get laid up with an upset stomach for the afternoon. At least I got in my run today. Had a good streak of consecutive full rings going, too.

I own a 38mm AW Sport. Started with 100% finished at 6%. Shouted at least 150 "Achtung Fahrrad" - "Danke"

I don't swim as much as you - only 3x a week for 70-75 minutes. I swam with my watch a day ago having been encouraged to do so by a poster on another thread. I may do it tomorrow too - but I don't want o screw up the watch. Still - it would make a difference to have it with me noting that I swam. As it is, I'm not still it's measurement metrics that expect feet hitting the ground know what I'm doing. The one swim did it no harm at all - some people have been using it in the pool since they got it - for months. But there are two issues: 1) waterproofing, and 2) measurement metrics.
I admittedly did swim a lap with mine back in November on accident and it was fine, I knew it would be since I shower with it every day. But I don't see the point in even trying because it won't have any kind of accurate workout measurements. If the next one has support for swim workouts I'd be all over it.
This is slightly off topic but here is an idea I had a while back. Along with a swim workout much like the other workouts where you set it and it just starts tracking they should have a race swim workout. This would be awesome, you'd start it but it wouldn't start tracking until you start the dive, and it'd stop when you stop swimming. It'd be so easy for me to get my times and I wouldn't have to put pads in, set up a clock or get someone to stopwatch it.
Agreed on both. I'm going to use it tomorrow to see if it measures better if I set the workout app to "other." Yesterday I j just used it figuring it would know I was exercising by heart-beat - but it didn't seem to register much of the workout. It works on the exercise bike - but then legs and arms are in a position the watch understands and the gyroscope can translate into movement. Swimming, it views arms and legs as horizontal - and despite the pressure of pushing the water out of the way with the stroking arm, it does't seem to registers it. SO neurotically I've been adding a home bike workout to my day so I can meet my "move go". I'll probably stop that early January - I'll have two months of meeting my move goals -n and weeks of meeting all the goals. It's frustrating that the watch has no way of knowing I've been swimming for 75 minutes.
I would (probably) be but in June as an Apple Seed beta tester I lost about 40 days of data. I still know and have pictures of all months but because the about 40 days crossed 3 months it will be August before I get the Badge.
After pushing myself to complete all 3 rings for a calendar month , I did not get the award for 1 month of completing all 3 rings . Instead on my activity list it shows the option for 2016. What happened to my award for the last month in 2015?? 
This happened to me in Novemeber!!! I got all my move rings completed I was trying so hard to get that damn month badge and I never got it!!After pushing myself to complete all 3 rings for a calendar month , I did not get the award for 1 month of completing all 3 rings .

I am SO glad to hear others are as hooked by these rewards as I am. Once I started swimming with my watch near the end of 2015, it became feasible to happily achieve my goals every day. And I get obsessed by getting all the rewards (which I know is nuts).
Wha
What a Great day and week for me!!!
