Move ring
The Move ring tracks active calories. Every workout, walk, or active burst nudges it upward.
Exercise ring
The Exercise ring tracks minutes of brisk activity. The goal is 30 minutes by default, but you can customize it in the Fitness app.
Stand ring
The Stand ring closes when you stand and move for at least one minute in 12 different hours.
Why rings matter for competitions
Each closed ring adds points to your competition score. When everyone in your group closes their rings, the leaderboard gets exciting fast.
