Move is pretty simple, you set a goal based on what your daily activity level is like and then move your way to that goal. As far as I know, the accelerometers in the watch track the amount you move, mainly via the number of steps you take. I believe I selected the "moderate" goal at the beginning of the day, but between doing some mobility work in my home gym, walking my boys to daycare, and then going for a 4.5km run, I was nearly at my activity goal by 10am. I think this will take some adjusting over time based on what I believe my average amount of activity is and then set my target there to try and hit every day. The trickiest part will be to try and hit the same activity target on Sunday, which tends to be my least busiest day, but I believe the motivating factors of the watch will help me get there (more on that later). I am on my feet quite a lot throughout the day. Training my clients, leading instructional sessions, and then also training my athletes before coming home to chase my 3 and 1 year-old around, it is quite easy for me to hit 8-10k steps daily.

Stand is the one segment of the 3 that make up the activity app that I believe could use a little work from Apple. Sure, the watch notifies you to remember to stand if you haven't been up during that current hour. The problem here is that this target seems to reset every hour on the hour. When I wore my UP24, the band would recognize if I hadn't moved around within the past 30 minutes (that could be adjusted) and buzz. The Apple Watch isn't as smart, at least not yet. Let's say you are extremely active from 11:00-11:59am, but then sit from 12:00-12:49pm, at 12:50pm the watch will tap you to remind you to get up. This seems to be every hour at 12:50pm regardless of when you moved last. It should be noted that some are even reporting that even standing at a desk doesn't seem to count. It should be called "Stand and Move," or something similar because standing up from your chair doesn't cut it. You actually need to move around for a good minute or so before it registers that you have been up. To be honest, I really like this feature and hope that it gets tweaked a bit further to be as great as some of the other fitness bands on the market.

Exercise ties in with the Workout App (more on that later). Exercise must be at least 30 minutes, but can be anything equivalent to, or greater than a brisk walk. For some people 30 minutes of daily exercise may sound too easy. For others, 30 minutes may seem like a daunting task. I hope to see some customization from Apple in the future with regards to their exercise regulations so that some folks who like to exercise a lot can set their standards a bit higher.
