Notifications for kids. Fam. And stocks. Music that’s on it especially on a cruise or to control music. I’m bad about missing things on phone that’s muted usually. Financial stuff has easily made me thousands with alerts that I customize. Most health or exercise stuff turned off. Anything annoying or worthless turned off.

The rings are all about setting goals in such a way that it helps you pursue those goals. Which is wildly different for different people. For me, when in more intense training phases I'll hit my rings every day, but usually I hit my rings probably 65-75% of the time, or when in specific downtime maybe 50%. That works for me. I strive to close each day I can see that reward. But I'm not stressed about not seeing it.

But each person should tune their settings accordingly. For some it's all about the streak and you can adjust your required workouts on a daily basis to ensure that you hit your streak whether it's a super active day or a lie in bed day. That's good too.

But Apple Watch isn't the only smartwatch out there and people use it for the same reasons you could use Android Watches, except for the Apple Pay.

Since your the OP, the thread starter, whom I take it has read most of this thread, can I ask you to:
Just off your head what are the top 5 - 7 reasons people use an Apple Watch over analog watch?

So when this topic comes up again, which it will, there’s a baseline of data to refer to.
TIA.

Respectively you avoid my request, specific to Apple Watches, feedback in your thread.

I just think your question had nothing to do with the thread. I'm not here to argue. It's just Apple Watches and Android Watches are the same (if not even better)
