Daily point math

Apple Watch competitions award up to 600 points per day. You earn points for each ring you close, and the score scales with how far past your goals you go.

Tips to keep scores steady

  • Close all three rings early in the day to reduce pressure.
  • Use short workouts to top up Exercise minutes.
  • Remember that a 1-minute stand hour still counts toward your daily total.
