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.

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.

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!!

Up a hill
now that we got the real one - yours looks MUCH better ...
I'll volunteer you to be the special badge artist going forward :)

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;)
