I will try to do some additional walking if my watch tells me I’m close to meeting my goal. I should still exercise more but a small improvement is good as long as I have a sedentary desk job.

How is that "allowing them to be more active throughout the day" ? You were already in a position to be more active if you wanted to. It's not like the watch increased your productivity 10 fold and suddenly freed up an additional 3 hours of your day to go exercise. The wording is questionable.

Do you have an Apple Watch? It’s remarkably effective in getting people to exercise who were otherwise not likely to do so.

I believe the issue is with the word "allowing" which is less correct than "motivating" in this context.
