I'm really enjoying my Apple Watch. It's early days, but there's a lot to love. Some of the best and most refined aspects of the watch are the fitness features.

I say this not as an advanced user of fitness devices, which I am, but for those looking to make better health a goal in their life. I'm training for the New York Marathon in November and I'll need to continue using my Garmin GPS for my advanced training.

That said, Apple has nailed the gamification of fitness with the three exercise rings. The internet is littered with stories from people who are now obsessed with closing the exercise rings on their watch. Many of these people have never given any real thought to fitness before.

There are three rings that comprise the Activity app on the watch. They are Move, Exercise and Stand. Move is an active calorie goal you can adjust. Everything you do during the day helps chip away at this goal. Exercise wants you to elevate your heart rate for 30 minutes a day. Stand encourages you to move around for a minute every hour.

Among these three rings, only the Stand ring requires action regularly throughout the day. Because of this, the Move and Exercise rings can be closed near day's end by moving around. There are many funny stories about people walking repeatedly around the block in the dark at night. I've walked on the treadmill for 10 minutes before brushing my teeth and going to bed to fill the Move ring.

Apple missed an opportunity to make this ring closing task easier so I mocked up my idea.

There should be a "Close My Rings" option in the Workout app on the watch. It will show the remaining move calories and exercise minutes required to close your rings.

Selecting this workout option leads to your selecting a workout option and then the following screen when the workout is started.

During the workout, you see the status of your rings. As a ring is closed, it drops off the screen.

When your Move and Exercise rings are closed, a congratulatory message is displayed. You can still continue your activity until the workout is stopped.

I think having a quick way to close unclosed rings would be a workout option used by a lot of people. With the advancements coming with watchOS 2, Siri can even help by starting a "Close my rings" workout without ever touching the watch.

The screen mockups were created for the 42mm watch and are available for download here. Just unzip the file, add the images to your synced Apple Watch photo gallery and you can see them on your watch.
