Turning Off Activity Rings on Apple Watch SE 3

Tuesday, June 30, 2026: 1:28 PM: Copilot isn’t always the most accurate consultant on certain things, like software settings, even if you do tell it the exact version. However, upon further investigation, it would seem that Copilot is correct in stating that everything I need settings wise to convert my Apple SE 3 watch from Exercise Coach to monitor can be found under settings/Activity.

Copilot is also correct that once a ring is established, you can only pause it for up to 90 days, which is fine by me. Apparently, if you pause a ring the watch stops recording data, which is something I don’t want it to do. So, after all three rings are close today, I will turn off “Stand Reminders”, and switch “Send to Notification Center” to Off.
