One of the Apple Watch’s main selling points is its fitness and activity tracking capabilities. Since its debut, it has become a popular accessory for hikers, swimmers, joggers, and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you first activate your Apple Watch, it will ask for some basic vital information before allowing you to set your “activity goals.” The Watch will keep track of these goals for you and notify you when they are met.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, if you set your activity goals on your Apple Watch and later discover that they do not fit, you can change any of them. This article will take you through the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You must use the Activity app on your Watch to change your activity goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your Apple Watch will track your activity goals and notify you when you reach them. It also suggests ways to achieve your goals, notifies you when you break a record, and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These notifications can be useful, but you can disable them by going to the Watch app on your iPhone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before you begin, ensure that your WatchOS is fully updated and that you are using the most recent version available for your Apple Watch Series model. This ensures that you have access to the most recent tracking features and UI, ensuring that everything looks its best. Apple is currently on Series 8, but some features may be limited or unavailable if you have an older model Apple Watch. These features first appeared on the Apple Watch Series 3, so most users should be fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Log in to your Apple Watch and launch the Activity app once everything is up to date. Depending on the settings you select and the apps you frequently use, your home screen may look different. The Activity app can be identified by its three colorful rings. Swipe up when the app opens to access the settings. Change Goals should be selected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apple walks you through the three “rings” of exercise represented by the app’s icon. Each governs a different type of activity, and you must go through them in order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first is the Move ring,<\/strong> which represents the number of active calories burned for the day or calories lost from moving around, working, or being active in general. Set the number of active calories you want to burn per day using the plus or minus signs, then click Next. Remember that calories burned in this manner are only a small part of the picture. If weight loss is a priority for you, you should also develop a healthy diet that promotes gradual weight loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The yellow Exercise ring comes next<\/strong>. This depicts what the Apple Watch’s sensors detect as brisk activity: moderate to vigorous exercise. It’s limited and doesn’t know whether you’re jogging or doing HIIT intervals (the Workout app is better for that). However, as long as you allow your Apple Watch arm to move freely, it should begin tracking when you jog, run, or walk quickly to raise your heart rate. Set the number of minutes you want to work out this way (Apple recommends at least 30), and then click Next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The bluish-teal Stand is the third ring<\/strong>. The Apple Watch detects and displays how long you have been standing and actively moving around for at least a minute in this situation. Standing in the Activity app isn’t about losing weight or getting in shape. It’s about standing for a few minutes every hour, which is important in sedentary jobs where sitting all day can raise cholesterol, blood pressure, and other health issues. Apple suggests standing like this at least once every hour for 12 hours. Set your hours and click OK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you reach one of your goals, your Apple Watch notifies you and congratulates you on completing all of them in a single day. You can change them as needed, track your progress, and even participate in competitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These suggestions will assist you in optimizing your performance beyond the three major goals:<\/p>\n\n\n\n On an Apple Watch, the three colorful rings represent various Fitness Goals. The Red Ring represents the Move Goal, which shows how many active calories you have burned so far. Active calories are those that you burn when you move around, stand, climb stairs, exercise, and so on. Swipe up and select Change Goals from the Activity app. Then, on Apple Watch, tap the Minus (-) or Plus (+) icon to change your Move Goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you can’t change the Exercise goal on your Apple Watch, make sure you have a Series 3 or later model with the most recent stable software version. With the release of watchOS 7 in 2020, Apple added the ability to change Exercise and Stand goals. You could only change your Move goal until then. To edit Exercise goals on your Apple Watch, you must have a Series 3 or newer model with watchOS 7 or later. It clearly states that you cannot change the Exercise and Stand goals on the Apple Watch Series 1 and Series 2 or the iWatch running watchOS 6 or older.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although the Apple Watch and iPhone have a built-in step counter, there is no way to set or change the step goal. Furthermore, you cannot change any Activity goal on Apple Watch or iPhone in such a way that you can set or change to 10k steps on Apple Watch using the built-in mechanism. However, your daily steps can be viewed on an Apple Watch or iPhone. To modify your Apple Watch goals on your iPhone, open the Fitness app, tap the Activity section, and then select the Change Goals option at the bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To change your Move Goals on your iPhone, go to the Fitness app > Activity section > Change Goals and increase or decrease the number of active calories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To change the calorie goal on Apple Watch, you must first update the Move Goal, which shows how many active calories you’ve burned thus far. You can change the Move Goal on your Apple Watch to burn more or fewer active calories per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow to Change Your Apple Watch Activity Ring Goals From Your iPhone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What Do the Three Rings on the Apple Watch Represent?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Green Ring represents the Exercise Goal, which shows how many minutes of brisk activity you’ve completed in a day. The Exercise Goal is set to 30 minutes by default.
Finally, the Blue Ring represents the number of hours you’ve stood up and walked for at least one minute. When you use a wheelchair, the Stand ring changes to the Roll ring, indicating the number of hours you’ve pushed around for at least one minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow Do I Change the Move Goal on My Apple Watch?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
