How to change the Activity goal on Apple Watch
Finding how to change settings on an Apple Watch can be tricky, as there are only so many options that can be shown on a small screen. However, you'll find plenty of information by scrolling using the dial or touchscreen.
- On your Apple Watch, navigate to the Activity app and tap on it
- On the first screen, scroll down to the bottom and tap "Change Goals."
- Tap on the "+" or "-" icons to increase or decrease your Move, Exercise or Stand goals.
- Tap "OK" on the "Stand Goal" menu to finish changing your Activity goals.
That's it. You can also check your weekly summary in the Activity app to find out what goals you achieved during the week. However, your iPhone will give you a more in-depth report on daily goals throughout the year.
As you'll find in our Apple Watch Series 7 review, the Apple Watch is well ahead of the competition, especially with its other health-tracking features including the ECG sensor, SpO2 monitoring and heart rate tracking. The latter even helps tracks workouts in the exclusive Apple Fitness subscription program.
