You Start the Challenge. Different Watches, One Board.

How does MoveTogether score friends on different wearables fairly?

Every device reaches MoveTogether the same way, through Apple Health on iPhone or Health Connect on Android, as Move calories, Exercise minutes, and Steps. Every scoring method uses those same three numbers, so every method is fair across devices.

Each competition picks one of seven: Ring Close Count, Percentage of Goals, Total Activity, Workout Count, Personal Goal, Stick To It, or Head to Head. Head to Head races one number: steps, calories, or exercise minutes. Default goals are 500 Move calories, 30 Exercise minutes, and 8,000 Steps, and each person sets their own.

Heart rate, HRV, and VO2 Max are not scored. Every brand estimates them differently, so scoring them would rank the hardware instead of the effort.

Which fitness trackers can compete on the same MoveTogether leaderboard?

Anything that syncs to Apple Health on iPhone or Health Connect on Android. That includes Apple Watch, Garmin, WHOOP, Oura, Polar, Strava, Ultrahuman, and Google Health / Fitbit. On Android, Galaxy Watch works through Samsung Health. Strava brings workouts, not all-day steps.

To set up, turn on sharing in your tracker’s own app, then give MoveTogether permission. No wearable is required: your phone’s own step count works.
