Apple Watch Challenge Algorithm

Apple needs to change the algorithm that calculates each monthly challenge as it is becoming a demotivator.

One month it can be very achievable, and if you exceed that challenge, the next month will not just increase in a small increment, it will jump to something that is almost unachievable.

In January this year, I had to double my move goal 3 times. I did this, and as it was dry January, did exercise every day, accumulating 60 miles of walking. The February challenge turned up, and it was to walk 103 miles, not just a simple increment, almost doubling. I'm not even going to bother going for it.

Last year was the same, January fairly achievable, February was to close all three rings every day, and March was so unachievable that I gave up with the intention of resetting the challenges to something realistic. This took until December, and looking back at the last year, my activity dropped off considerably during the year until December, just to get a challenge to something realistic.
