The Apple watch does not track all activities as the other fitness tracker apps do. The Apple watch does more than tracking calories and counting steps. It focuses more on the health specifically on overall health. The activity tracker in Apple watches generally differentiates actual exercise from a healthy movement. It encourages the user to stand more often than sitting down.
There are some features by which you will come to know about how the Apple watch tracks your daily activity. Apple Tech Support shall be your assistant if you want to know more about the products and services or facing any issues with any of them.
Rings – Combination of Specific Health Apps
The stand, move and exercise rings constitute the actual part or the total activity as captured by the Apple watch.
Stand
The stand is one of the most accessible features. You can fill the ring related to standing by actually standing up only for a single minute in an hour for twelve hours. This ring is actually informing you that you have not moved in a while.
So, when the app notifies you to stand, you can stand up and move around a bit so that it informs you of the activity.
Exercise
The exercise ring tracks only a specific type of activity. According to Apple, exercise is something that increases the human heart rate continuously. It controls your movement and checks whether you are exercising or not. The Apple watch gets used to your daily habits and tells you how to improve them.
Move
The “move” ring shows you the calories you have burnt in a day. It captures the whole of your twenty-four-hour movements and not only the exercise that you do. Furthermore, it captures your heart rate data. This will finally teach you how you can burn your calories in a better way.
