Activity Rings

Activity Rings are the universal currency of MoveTogether competitions. Several of the seven scoring methods derive from ring metrics: 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, and active calories come through from every supported source. Steps are the exception: Strava activities do not carry them, and MoveTogether does not ingest WHOOP step data (WHOOP counts steps in its own app, but our integration reads strain, calories and workouts).

One limit worth knowing: of Apple's three rings, MoveTogether scores Move and Exercise but not Stand. Stand hours reward being upright rather than being active, they are the least comparable measure across brands, and most non-Apple wearables have nothing to map to them. Steps take the third slot instead, as the most widely reported metric across brands, with WHOOP and Strava the exceptions noted above. So when MoveTogether talks about three rings it means Move, Exercise and Steps, not Apple's Move, Exercise and Stand. Everything else behaves the way it does in Apple's Fitness app, including personal goals and the reset at local midnight.
