Excellent point! My current one is a couple of years old now 
What you are describing is swift my friend uses it and finds it brilliant.
I got a gen 4 Apple TV when released in 2016 (I think) best bang for buck of pretty much any Apple product I have had (except the antenna gate free case).
About £32 a year now. Thinking of getting a new one if they release one as an excuse to get a 4K tv…
I had an Apple TV but no Apple Watch. So will be getting an Apple Watch today just to try out 3 months of fitness, by then, the gyms should be open again(?).
this is the only thing stopping me from getting this. If they enable it to be airplayed to my smart TV then great. I think not being able to see the watch metrics isn’t so bad as you can just look at it after you’re done with the workout on your watch anways right?
I’ve had something similar with a friend who lives abroad who also takes his watch off a good amount. I don’t seem to get live updates and the final tally can be a little unpredictable. He once took his watch off for a week after a competition closed and I had to ask him to turn it on and charge it just to clear the “pending results” message from my app

If you turn the clock back on your iPhone (and thus the watch) and set your goal to like 1/12 hours then it’ll likely give you the full points.
Ofc this would be better not to as it should be a friendly competition.
I have a friend who is a gym goer and very fit and active but because his move goal is like 100 calories a day he always gets 300% and more per day so I don’t bother with him.
Not least because he always brags about closing his ring on social media… like yeah, a snail could close that one

One method is airplane mode your watch and it will prevent it updating until after the time has ran out so you can sync and beat the person.
I know people who would do that with Fitbit as well by turning Bluetooth off on their phone.

I can’t help with how and why, but I like that you’re as equally terrible as I am with stands!
Did you ask your mate about how they achieved 4,200? I would.
There’s really no point competing in a friendly like this if someone’s going to cheat.

Cheating vs a friend to win a medal in the fitness app. What a low!
