Just my 2c, but I don't much care about badges. Is there really a need to be able to graphically brag to your friends about how many glasses of water you drank this month? I know there's value in 'gamification' aspects but this is what the dashboard and graphics already do. If badges do get included, please ensure users can turn the feature off, as some apps go way over the top and use badges mainly as an excuse to send emails and to create marketing messages for non-users, rather than providing any real value.
Sorry if that sounds grumpy but I've abandoned apps before for getting this balance wrong.
There are better ways of reminding yourself to 'stand up every 30 minutes' like using a kitchen timer or countdown timer on phone/computer etc.
The trouble with including this in the app is that there will be many times when you don't want automated alarms constantly going off so you have to go in and turn them off, then have to remember to turn them back on again....
