Activity Rings
Definition
Apple's three daily activity targets — Move (calories burned), Exercise (minutes of brisk activity), and Stand (hours with at least one minute of standing). They appear as concentric rings on Apple Watch and in the Activity app, and they 'close' when you hit your goal.
How MoveTogether uses it.
Activity Rings are the universal currency of MoveTogether competitions. Three of the five scoring methods derive from rings: Ring Close Count rewards closing rings, Percentage of Goals scores how completely you closed them relative to your personal targets, and Raw Numbers sums the underlying values directly.
MoveTogether reads ring data through Apple Health, so users on non-Apple wearables (Garmin, WHOOP, Fitbit, etc.) participate via their normalized equivalents — Garmin Intensity Minutes map to Exercise minutes, all platforms report steps and calories.

MoveTogether is free on the App Store. Connect a wearable (or just your iPhone) and start your first competition this week.
