Interesting to hear.
I always though folk on here (and regular cyclists/runner/fit people in general) wouldnt see incentives/gamification as a plus.
I personally don't, my resting HR and weighing scales tells me all I need to know.
Targets for sure.
Is there a setting to have HR monitoring constantly on in apple watch?

The Apple Watch activity app works very well as a behaviour change tool because the rings look so satisfying when they're all complete. /ocd
There's a ring for calorie goal (mine is 580 a day which is pretty easy to hit if I cycle in and home), activity (time spent with your HR above resting) and stands (you have to stand at least one minute of each hour for 12 hours to complete the ring).
The only problem is it doesn't have the same satisfying gamification trick for keeping your calories low and consequently I have lost very little weight. But I am very good at walking up all 14 flights of stairs at work.
