One thing I've been curious about and tried to check but haven't been able to fully confirm, is – if my Apple Watch is on my wrist but still locked (i.e. I just put it back on my wrist and have not put in my passcode):
- If I move around, will I get credited for that fitness activity?
(i.e. Will the active calories, exercise and stand rings still go up)
if I later remember to put in my passcode? - Will the watch do heartrate and other readings and add that to Health when locked?

Billie Hawkins has noted about the stand goals. I checked to see if the Apple Watch would track steps.
So here was my test:
So, yes, the Apple Watch will track your steps if it is locked but will update after it has been unlocked.
