Hey everyone, today I wanna talk about something that’s been on my wrist for a while now – the iWatch and its awards system. I’ve been trying to get more active lately, and let me tell you, this little device has been both a motivator and a bit of a taskmaster.
So, it all started when I finally decided to take my fitness seriously. I got myself an iWatch, paired it with my iPhone, you know, the usual setup. What really got me hooked was this whole “awards” thing. It’s like a game, right? You’ve got these rings – Move, Exercise, and Stand – and the goal is to close them every day. Sounds simple, but it’s surprisingly addictive.
First off, I started tracking my daily activity. I walked more, took the stairs instead of the elevator, and even started doing those quick workout sessions during lunch breaks. The iWatch is pretty good at recognizing different activities. Walking, running, even swimming – it tracks it all.
Getting Competitive
Then, there’s the competition part. You can actually compete with your friends who also have iWatches. I added a couple of buddies, and let me tell you, it gets competitive. You earn points for every percent you add to your rings. I found myself checking throughout the day to see where I stood against them. It’s a seven-day competition, and you can earn up to 600 points a day. I was pushing myself to get those points, even if it meant doing an extra lap around the block.
Customizing the Experience
- Started customizing my watch faces. There are so many options! I found one that showed my activity rings prominently. It was a constant reminder to keep moving.
- Dived into the Health app on my iPhone. It’s where all the data from the iWatch goes. You can see your progress over time, set goals, and even track your sleep. I was fascinated by how much (or how little) I was moving each day.
- Explored third-party apps. While you can’t add completely custom watch faces, there are apps that let you personalize them further. I tried a couple, like Watch Faces by Facer and Watch Faces PRO. They have some cool designs and complications you can add to your watch face.
The Results
After a few weeks, I started noticing changes. I was feeling more energetic, sleeping better, and generally just feeling good about myself. And yeah, I did win a few of those weekly competitions, which was a nice bonus.
But it’s not just about winning. It’s about making a positive change in your lifestyle. The iWatch awards system, with its rings and competitions, it’s a fun way to stay motivated. It’s like having a little personal trainer on your wrist, constantly nudging you to do a bit more.
So, if you’re looking for a way to get more active, I’d say give the iWatch a try. It’s not just a gadget; it’s a whole experience. And who knows, maybe we’ll even end up competing against each other someday!
