Dear Apple, I Ran More Than 5K

Dear Apple,Apple Watch is a great fitness device. Sure, the battery could be better, and music management still needs work, but I use it for every run.Right now, though, my sense of accomplishment is getting undermined by your design decisions.When I finish a 6K, 7K, 8K, or 9K run, getting a 5K Apple Watch medal feels like a slap in the face. I understand that real-world races do this. There are 5K, 10K, half-marathon, and marathon medals. But I think this is the one place where I can’t get behind skeuomorphism. Why don’t you give me a reward for the run I actually finished?Why limit yourself — and me — with these fixed, real-world categories? This is software. You can generate a medal for the actual distance I ran. You can make a 7K feel like a 7K. And when I someday run 19K, you’re going to give me a 10K medal? Really?I don’t need the app to pretend I ran an official race. I need it to acknowledge what I actually did.It’s not like you’re giving out real medals anyway.Sincerely, Greg
