Let’s be real, we’ve all been there. Staring down that empty Move ring and feeling the pressure. The thing is, the Apple Watch makes it surprisingly tempting to cheat the system. I mean, have you ever accidentally swung your arms while you were just, like, making a sandwich and suddenly you’ve earned steps? It’s kinda wild.
Apparently, the easiest way to do it is just to, y’know, fire up the Workout app. Pick something… uh… believable? Maybe “Other.” And then just… wiggle your wrist? Apparently, that works for some people. I’ve even read about people saying that the active HR checking on the watch can cause like a little spike, y’know, like when you’re nervous at the doctor’s. Maybe that could help? I dunno, just spitballing here.
But seriously, before you go full-on faker, maybe just try squeezing in a quick walk? Or, you know, dancing to your favorite song while you’re waiting for your coffee to brew. Small changes add up. But hey, if you’re really in a bind… I guess I’m not gonna stop you from experimenting with the Workout app.
Now, here’s a curveball: what if you bought a “too good to be true” Apple Watch off eBay or AliExpress? Chances are, my friend, you got yourself a fake. And a fake Apple Watch? Well, who knows *what* kind of activity data it’s spitting out. It’s probably counting dishwashing as a marathon. Just something to consider if your activity numbers are suddenly insane.
And another thing! If you accidentally logged a crazy workout (we’ve all fat-fingered the screen, right?), you can’t actually *edit* it on the watch or even the Activity app! It’s kinda dumb, tbh. There’s gotta be a workaround though, I’m sure. Maybe Google it? I’m too lazy to look it up for you right now.
