In watchOS 5, there's a new Apple Watch activity feature that's designed to motivate people to work out and get active through competitions with friends. You can challenge any friend to a seven-day competition on Apple Watch, with each person earning points for filling their rings each day.
Your move goal should be challenging for you to complete, but still attainable. Your Apple Watch will start you off with an average calorie amount, around 500, but after a week will ping you with new suggested goals if necessary.
Close Your Rings. Three rings: Move, Exercise, Stand. One goal: Close them every day. It's such a simple and fun way to live a healthier day that you'll want to do it all the time.
Apple's next Activity Challenge for Apple Watch owners will take place on Earth Day, which falls on Monday, April 22. Apple Watch users will be able to earn the Earth Day 2019 badge by doing any workout for 30 minutes or more.
Open the Activity app on your Apple Watch. Go to your rings, then firmly press the screen. Tap to increase or decrease the number of active calories for your daily Move goal. When you're done, tap Update.

The red ring is the Move ring and indicates how many estimated calories you have burned. The green ring is the Exercise ring and tells you how much of your daily exercise goal (in minutes) you have achieved. Finally, the blue ring is the Stand ring and tells you how many times you've stood up (per hour) during the day.
During the competition, you both earn points by filling your Activity rings. You get a point for every percent that you add to your rings each day, and you can earn up to 600 points a day. That's a max of 4,200 points for the week. Whoever has the most points at the end of the competition wins.

Since you can only save playlists on your Apple Watch, scroll down to "Playlists" in the Music app. Playlists that are saved on the Watch will be underneath "On My Apple Watch"—select the playlist and play a song!
