When it comes to smart watch, you probably don't think about this term at all. Apple fans will immediately think of the Apple Watch, supporters of other operating systems, for example, watches from Samsung. Smart watches, such as the Apple Watch, can do a lot - from heart rate measurement to music streaming to activity measurement. As for activity tracking, you can compete with other Apple Watch users to see who can earn more activity points during the week.

Unfortunately, the watchOS operating system does not in any way treat the activity goals of individual users. This means that if someone has a daily goal of 600 kCal and someone else 100 kCal, then the other competitor with a smaller activity goal will achieve it faster and with less effort. In this way, it is very easy to cheat in the competition. After lowering your daily activity goal to, for example, 10 kCal, your competition points will increase several times, even after you "raise" your activity goal again. Doing this whole scam is very simple - just go to the native app Activity on Apple Watch, where after press firmly with your finger on the display and select an option from the menu that appears Change daily goal. Then change it to something extra low value and confirm the change by pressing the button Update. Once you do so, wait for the adding points in the competition. The goal of the activity is then just returned immediately - the points in the competition will not be deducted and no one will find out about the fraud. However, please note that the maximum you can earn per day is 600 points.

If you are going to do this process, then definitely do not abuse it. You should only use this cheat if you want to shoot someone. Cheating never means anything good, and if you use it regularly, you will have a guilty conscience and your friends will definitely not appreciate it. Let's hope Apple fixes this shortcoming as soon as possible. It would be appropriate to solve this deficiency by setting a common goal in kCal, which the participants of the competition would have to meet when challenging the opponent. Otherwise, i.e. in the current case, the competition simply has no meaning. This scam has been known for quite some time and unfortunately Apple still hasn't done anything about it - so hopefully we'll see a fix soon, for example in watchOS 7, which we'll see coming soon.
