OK, so I’m a former employee of That Company, but I never worked on Phone, Watch, Fitness, etc.
So this is a pure thanks:
I am ever so happy with the Apple Fitness Rings which have motivated me to close all my rings 1000 times, and close my Exercise ring for 100 perfect weeks, soon to have the Move ring join it.
Clearly Apple hired the right psychologists to create a motivation system that really does work.

@haineux It’s not perfect, but it’s good. I recall a conversation with a former colleague on the psychological effects of breaking a streak, factors outside the wearer’s control, effects of same-day adjustments, and his choice to set much lower goals than he could reasonably achieve to compensate for his unpredictable work requirements. Later I would forget to adjust my goals the day before a surgical procedure.
