February 2021 Activity Challenge

[Captain Trips]

Getting my S6 tomorrow so I'll be all up on this one.
Band too.

Nice - will this be your first Apple Watch, or will it be a replacement for an older model?

When you say "band too" are you getting the Black Unity AW6, or a Black Unity band with a different color AW6?

I got the Black Unity AW6 - in addition to showing support for black unity, I like the Unity band colors, and the space gray of the watch itself goes really well with most band colors.

I'm more than half way to my Exercise goal of 2400. It's like 1360 right now. I put in a ton of minutes last week, and I've cut back some this week. Hopefully I can get this done with a few days left to spare in the month.

Colleague has a Samsung watch and its app has a challenge feature where you can challenge someone for 10k, 50k steps. Such a cool idea. Wondering if there is something like that for AW

I’ve done 10421 of 24800 so still have to pretty much double my move goal everyday. Tough in winter with my current 60 hour work week.

You can challenge friends in AW.

Nike+ S6, haven’t had Watch since early summer 2020 (S4, S3 prior year to that). Black Unity band also ordered. Been a long time since being in shape. Loki g forward to fitness again.

As Apple fanboy has mentioned, yes you can. Here is how:

Share your Activity and compete with friends with your Apple Watch (Apple Support page)

Thanks. Will check. Will have to see if it adjusts to different move goals. As in - if I have 700kcal and someone has 500..

Samsung Health is a bit more feature rich. In the 'discover' tab, can set a challenge of 10,30k, 100k steps and anyone with the app can accept it. It also has a fun infographic in form of a race showing how you're doing with respect to steps compared to people everywhere

That looks nice. I have only had my AW for a little over a week (first one), so I am still learning what it can do and I haven't tried sharing a challenge with someone else, so I don't know how feature rich that is.

And if the Activity app doesn't have this sort of feature (that you show in the screen shots), maybe it will get added in a later release / update of the Activity app.

Good luck to everyone and enjoy! I am glad to know we will all be doing this (in one way or another) together on Sunday 👍

Just got my Nike+ S6 on Friday afternoon. Hand’t realized I had so many backups (S3x2 /S4 - erasing and resets, purchased and sold all in this mix).

Gonna try to get today’s challenge complete, now that I’m all sync’d up, as well as this Months challenge. 44mm seems a LOT smaller than I can recall (S4 model).

Time to get it - get yours people, conquer your daily challenge!!

 

[jz0309]

And get one of these

My friend - you do know that you already have this on your iPhone??

Try this - open Apple's Message App - press on the fitness rings (at the bottom) and this will open up all sorts of animations of previous Special Awards

Well, now that I found out the truth, I will have to recall the email to Tom Cook

You definitely beat me in the emojis front

 

[Apple fanboy]

Finally down to below 800 kcal a day to complete my February challenge. If I keep going I’ll get this with a couple of days to spare.

 

[sngx1275]

So I have 79 exercise minutes today, the Heart Month Challenge was 60 minutes... It hasn't given it to me.

 

[jz0309]

half the month is done, I'm at 18,300 of 34,000 kcal, looking good so far

 

[MsReader]

Just restart the watch and phone. It’s what most of us had to do.
