Sorry for the stupid question, what do you mean by people losing weight?

  It tracks your calories, exercize time, and number of hours you’ve been active (walked for at least a minute).

  Apple added gamification elements to the Apple Watch. “Closing the rings” which means completing 100% of the move, stand and exercise targets adds a competitive element to fitness which has worked well for many users.

    I haven't yet found the rings and other features to be nearly as motivating as when all of my friends had Fitbits and we were connected through their service. That was one thing that kept me from switching faster, I didn't want to give up the Fitbit social network.

      FWIW, Apple Watch has a similar thing; it just has fewer users on in the network…

        I had not seen that. Thanks for the tip!

      You might like this. Haven't tried it, but saw it announced by someone local who'd worked on it and thought it was a great idea and strong design: https://steps.im/ https://steps.im/
