Step requirement for an activity hour

Is there a way to change how many steps you need to take in order for an hour to be counted? I want to take a minimum of 500 steps per hour for it to count an hour on my activity ring.

Apple Watch Series 6, watchOS 8

Hey WatchQuestions5,


While there would not be a way to change the step count, there are options available for changing your activity goals. This article explains how: Track daily activity with Apple Watch - Apple Support


"Change your goals

If you find your activity goals either too challenging or not challenging enough, you can change them.

  1. Open the Activity app  on your Apple Watch.
  2. Turn the Digital Crown to scroll to the bottom of the screen, then tap Change Goals.
  3. Tap the Minus button or the Plus button to adjust a goal, then tap Next.

Every Monday, you’re notified about the previous week’s achievements, and you can adjust your goals for the next week. Your Apple Watch suggests goals based on your previous performance."

Thanks!
