With watchOS 11, Apple announced that you’ll be able to pause Activity Rings, allowing you to finally take rest days without guilt. It’s long overdue.

When I had covid, I was miserable, hacking up my lungs and confined to bed for several days with horrible brain fog. I don’t remember much from that time. I do, however, remember waking up bleary-eyed and feverish to an Apple Watch notification. It said I hadn’t made much progress on my rings. I should take a brisk 27-minute walk. “You can still do it,” it said. No, I could not. It wasn’t my fault I’d gotten sick, but my 85-day streak was broken anyway.

It’s no coincidence that elite athletes have flocked to trackers like the Oura Ring or Whoop, which prioritize recovery and sleep above all else. For these reasons, pausing rings is an excellent idea. In watchOS 11, you’ll be able to pause rings for a day, week, month, or whatever time period you need without it affecting your Move streak. That takes away the sense that you’ve failed.
