What is Activity (Apple Watch companion)?

The Activity app is a pre-installed health and fitness tracking app on the Apple Watch. It is designed to monitor and encourage physical activity throughout the day by tracking movement, exercise sessions, and how often the wearer stands up. Core metrics tracked include:

• Active Calories - Calories burned through movement and exercise
• Exercise Minutes - Minutes spent doing brisk activity that elevates your heart rate
• Move/Exercise/Stand Rings - Visual trackers to show daily progress towards personalized activity goals

The Activity app uses the accelerometer and heart rate sensor in Apple Watch to detect movement and workout intensity. It provides gentle reminders to get up and move if you've been inactive too long. At a glance, you can check the colorful Move, Exercise, and Stand rings in the app to see daily and historical activity progress. Activity data also contributes to animated Activity award badges and weekly summaries in the iPhone Health app.

Overall, the Activity app aims to promote healthy activity levels by transforming fitness tracking into a motivating and social experience. It offers an easy way to track running/walking workouts, monitor daily activity trends, challenge friends, and earn rewards for staying consistently active over time.
