Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 So did my first ride with my Apple watch and no HR monitor. Got 600 points on a 90 min more vigorous than my last ride where I got 3000 points using my Garmin and HR monitor. What gives ? Myles ??What app did you use to track the workout? Did you use the "workout" app, or Strava, or just run strava on your phone? You need to query it with Vitality if you use the watch to initiate the recording, and have got HR data for the exercise.

I used the Strava started on my Watch only. was I supposed to use the Outdoor cycling on the Workout app as well ?

If so, then it should have allocated the points correctly. You may need to update the app on the device or on your phone as well. Also - query it with Vitality...

Also got only 600 points for a 3+ hour ride, and 2+ hours rides, recorded with strava. How does one query it with Vitality, hopefully not by phoning them?

LONE TWO Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 HI Guys, I am sure this has been dealt with before hand but to many pages to go through. So I do aplogise 1 If I upload my strava rides to discovery how many points do we get, and how is it calculated? 2. Why do you get different points if you use a HRM as appose to without. 3. Anyone else's app just keep crashing constantly? I go to VA to redeem my smoothie but cant get the code. I log onto the computers at VA to take a screen shot of the QR code but cant seem to find the "redeem your rewards" on the website.

shaper Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) 3000 max and only one activity a day will be logged being the max points allocation one... irrespective of how many activities you do! You should really read the vitality active rewards webpage as is all explained there plain and simple... so that you know how to maximise your points and activities Edited February 9, 2016 by shaper Dexter-morgan 1

Max 30,000 points from fitness activities per year, but you carry on "earning" points even when you've reached the cap for the purposes of the Vitality Active Rewards Program. If you include fitness assessments in your calcs, then the max points for fitness activities and assessments is 45,000 points per person per year.
