    Apps What is the best activity to use for "physical labor"?

    I work at an office job 5 days a week, and exercise by walking / hiking and lifting weights occasionally. but I also work 1 day a week sometimes 2, at a grocery store in the produce department stocking the tables and displays (for the exercise and extra spending money... and I like the people...

    AW4 activity rewards not counting all days?

    I know this is whining, sort of, but the Activity Rewards aren't working as advertised. This month, I have to do 24 days with a 15 minute 'exercise', and it's not the 14th, and I have 11 days credit. I have 'worked out' every day, and the shortest 'exercise' I can find was 32 minutes. So, WTH...

    problem activity rings

    So last night I 'cheated' with a game and I constantly changed the date with one day on my iPhone. Now my apple watch thinks that all these days already passed by and it doesn't count my activity or heartbeat anymore. I already set the date back but the problem is still there. There are just...

    I have not friends but want to compete...

    Hello everybody! I was using Samsung eco-system (Note 9 + Galaxy Watch + Samsung Health) to compete (steps competitions) with friends and people around the world. But now I've moved to Apple eco-system (iPhone + Watch + Activity App). The problem is I don't know any one who has Apple devices...

    Missing achievements

    Upgraded to new iPhone Xs and Series 4 yesterday. Backed up to iCloud before making the switch. All my activity data is present, exercises, etc. However, the awards themselves are largely gone. Only ones left are my activity from yesterday and the Earth Day 2018 challenge. I've read on...

    2018 MBP 15 Coil Whine

    I just bought the i7 2.6GHz, 512G version and noticed there is coil whine. It's pretty audible all the time and becomes loud when I use VM. Anyone else having it?

    Super weird and morbid activity challenge

    Ok. It’s February 21. I just got a February challenge on my watch. Apparently, to earn the 2/2018 badge, I need to travel back to January. That alone is a really difficult challenge as my time machine is currently in the shop with a busted flux capacitor. At any rate, I need to go back to...

    Clean start for my 6S, but want to keep Health and message history

    So I’ve been bouncing between iPhone models for a few months to try different sizes, and I finally decided to land on a 6S. On each transition, I just backed up the current phone and then restored the new phone from the backup. From what I gather, this can eventually lead to random problems. I...

    Stand Progress in Activity

    Hi everyone! I’ve had watchOS 4 ever since it came out and am using it on a series 2. While I am happy about most of the updates, there is one little quirk I am curious if anyone else has noticed. I use the Stand reminders in Activity and am always aiming for the 12 hour goal. When I used to...

    Activity Monitor - Time on battery

    Hi, I'm fairly new to Mac OS and to the forums so I apologize if this has been asked before. So does the time on battery Start counting after you unplug the charger? because I haven't plugged in my charger for over a day but my Mac shows that my time on battery is about 6 hours 45 minutes which...

    Since installing Watch OS4, I haven't received any notifications for completing my activity goals. Anybody else? Any fixes?

    Running with AirPods in the Rain

    Over the past week I've read through pages and pages of comments and posts on Airpods. I haven't seen a thread specifically for runners or those involved in lots of exercise and physical activity. I received my AirPods one week ago today, and I really like them. They fit great, and it's really...

    iPhone Differing Activity Data

    At more-or-less the same time of day, after ensuring all apps are up-to-date, I am getting differing step counts and distances in different apps on my iPhone. I wonder why, and what is correct? I'm trying different apps, which is why I have so many at the moment.

    Can't Use iPhone Activity App

    Whenever I try to open the Activity app on my iPhone, I get the spinning progress indicator... forever. It doesn't matter if I force quit the app, restart the iPhone, or force restart the iPhone; nothing seems to work. I really don't want to have to reset my Watch and/or iPhone; it'd be the...

    Activity Sharing - Awaiting your reply spins & spins?

    My sister & I both have (had) the original Apple Watch, version 3.0 (14S326) On our iPhone 6's, are both upgraded to iOS 10.0.2 For awhile after upgrading to iOS 10 / Apple Watch 3.0, activity sharing worked and we could see each others data. We would even get notifications when a workout was...

    Exercise counts to generously

    Hey there, Last Saturday I bought my Apple Watch. I'm very happy with it but I noticed that it counts even normal walking as exercise. I thought it needed to be a "brisk walk or more" to count for your exercise minutes. That's in fact a little discouraging because it doesn't motivate me to go...
