Title: watchOS 3 wish-list: Activity challenges and leaderboards! Post by: HCK on February 03, 2016, 09:00:20 pm watchOS 3 wish-list: Activity challenges and leaderboards!
Health and fitness are their own reward... but there's nothing like a little competition to increase motivation! The Apple Watch has a built-in Activity app that tracks how often you stand up and move around, the calories you've burned, and the minutes of brisk exercise you've done. It's a great way to motivate people, and a type of gamification that feeds us the same sense of accomplishment we get when we solve a puzzle and make it to the next level. In classical terms, it's us-against-ourselves. Some people, however, aren't as self-motivated or self-disciplined. Some people are competitive and they don't just want to do well — they want to do the best. That's where a little us-against-them social networking and challenges would be great. The Apple Watch already does a great job popping up alerts to get us going and to tell us we're almost there, but imagine if there were also challenges from friends to keep us going and a leaderboard to really get us there?
