What is your Move goal?

To me, this is kind of the point. The Move Goal is not there to motivate you on days you work out. That's what the Wokout App is for. The Move Goal is there to keep you moving on days when you're not working out.
I'm currently at 470. For a 200 pound dude in his 30's this has been pretty good so far. It equates to about 10k steps... which is not "hard" to meet... but some days when I've been coding all day I do have to actually work to make that mark.
My progress has been awesome though... I've already lost 10 pounds since buying an Apple Watch.
How many calories would you get in a normal workout?
I find mine drops heart rate constantly when working out, so it spends a lot of time either with no data, or something like 50bpm (when actual would be 120-150 depending on if I'm trying to keep my rate up).
With this, I feel it under reports my calorie burn.

How do you all hit your goal every day? I don't work out every day, so it's hard to set a goal low enough for me to hit on a daily basis, but not go two times around on a workout day. Also my daily life is quite variable in terms of movement (unfortunately I work in an office, so highly impacted by things like off site meetings, choice of lunch venue, etc.)
My goal is either 350 or 400. Depends on the day.
But if I have hockey (don't where my watch at hockey) then I'll drop it to whatever I get that day because I know I burnt tons and tons of calories that weren't counted.

Goal at 400, I average 500-650, but as I will always have one or two light days a week (410) I prefer to keep my goal at a level I can almost always achieve.
This is about activity, energy and health for me, not losing weight so much.

490 - coming from previous fitness trackers this is about 10-11k steps. I personally would prefer a step goal as well. Sedentary desk job and the days I work at home this can be a real challenge for me. I try to get a fast 30 min walk in around noon to help..
I'm 5'4, fairly fit, and moderately active, and mine's at 320. I hit it easily pretty much every day unless I have an especially sedentary day where I do nothing at all. I've only missed it 4 days this month, most of those being related to having been asleep for 12+ hours of that day.
495 is the highest I've hit so far, though, so I guess my level of daily activity generally falls in a fairly narrow range. I'm going to have to up my game since I really want that damn Double Move award-- I was so annoyed when I discovered there was no award for lapping yourself on the Exercise circle the way there is for Move...!

Sounds like someone wants to SEE the Ring filled.
'Pot calling the kettle black'
While I don't change mine I do obsess over filling them and have mine set low enough that I can do it with a little more effort on my 'off' day.For me on more extreme days (I ran 10.5 miles yesterday and got a 300% badge) instead of worrying about setting the goal higher I just worry about lapping it.
1100 currently. Probably needs upping to 1200 now.
38 and 220lb.
The beauty of cycling to work every day, easily hit my goals.

I don't workout at all.
I work outside and tend to work 8-14 hours a day. My days off are Monday and Wednesday. I often don't hit my goal on those days because I like to be as lazy as possible on those days off.

Mine is at 550, which I usually have no trouble hitting at least 5 out of 7 days in a week. Sometimes I hit it only 3 or 4 days a week though. I think you want to set it to be a little bit of a stretch, but still achievable. Of course it depends on what your goals are. If you want to be seriously fit you will want to aim much higher. If you are looking to just maintain your current health and weight, a lower number might suffice.
The watch will recommend a number based on your activity pattern, but I have kept mine at 550 even when it has suggested I set it lower or higher. That makes it easier for me to compare month to month. I'm more active in the warmer months, so there are times in Summer when I'm biking a lot and double my Move goal a couple of times a week. Then there are times in colder/wetter months when I might have to work hard to reach my goal. I'm not saying I would never alter my goal. There are times when life's circumstances make more modest goals a stretch, and there are times when we are able to devote more of our day to exercise and we can set more aggressive goals.

My move goal is typically 550, hit about 245 days in a row with that. But I have been in Bakersfield for the last few weeks for an internship, so I dropped it down to 400 calories. At home, I typically go out every night for a 3+ mile walk. But being in the middle of the desert, its still 100F+ at 9PM at night, can't really do that.

I thought you might want to consider an Bicep band for work. Works great and it keeps it hidden but still fully works......food for thought...
[doublepost=1500340195][/doublepost]my move goal is 1010. I am currently on a 79 day streak....
You are a slob!! Get cracking brother!!! You’ll be glad you did. (Sarcasm, but get moving man, you’ll be happier)
When I got the Watch I began with 500. Kept upping it each week until I couldn't reach the goal or really had to go hard to achieve it. It was something like 1200. I missed it 2-3 times a week so backed down to 500 again and are now usually at 800. This is something that works fine for me. I easily hit it on work days and have to put in some exercise on my free days.
Currently at 1,880. Very hard to hit it on my days off work where I spend all day on my feet!
