That's your Move ring, which shows up when the Exercise and Stand rings through your Apple Watch are unavailable. When you carry your iPhone with you, motion sensors track your steps, distance, and flights climbed to estimate active calories burned. Any workouts you complete in compatible third-party apps also contribute to the progress shown on your Move ring. An overlapping ring means you exceeded your goal. Tap the Activity area to see details of your progress for that day.
