How to change the move / calorie Activity goal on an Apple Watch

activity.appapple-watchapple-watch.app

I've recently set up a new Apple Watch; during the setup process I selected the "most active" setting (Very Active, I think).

Now that I've seen the daily targets in the Activity app, I realise that the move/caloria goal (red ring) is too high.

Can I change that?

I've looked in a bunch of places, including the general Settings, Health settings, and Activity settings (all in the Watch app on the iPhone) – and the Activity app on the iPhone. But no luck.

Additionally, can the three goals be changed independently?

The option is hidden behind a long/hard press - so not easily discoverable:

  • Tap on the Activity app from your Apple Watch's Home screen.
  • Swipe left until you see the Move ring.
  • Press firmly on the screen.
  • Tap on Change Move Goal.
  • Adjust your move goal to whatever you'd like and tap Update.

The calorie goal is the only configurable goal.
