Apple will launch its next Apple Watch activity challenge on Tuesday, April 22 in celebration of Earth Day.

To complete the challenge, Apple Watch owners will be required to complete a workout that lasts for 30 minutes or longer, with the activity recorded through the Workout app or an app that adds information to the Health app.

On April 22, celebrate Earth Day and win this award with any workout of 30 minutes or more. Try to get outside for it!

Apple Watch owners who earn the award will unlock an award in the Fitness app, plus they will get a series of animated stickers that can be used in the Messages and FaceTime apps.

The April Earth Day challenge comes just before Apple's special Close Your Rings Day award on April 24, which is being offered to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Apple Watch.

Apple Watch users who close all three of their Activity rings on April 24 will earn 10 animated stickers and a digital award, plus Apple retail locations are offering a special physical pin while supplies last. The special Close Your Rings Day stickers are below.

The pin will be available at Apple Stores on April 24 on a first come, first serve basis.

I had an Apple watch for about 2 years in total a few years ago and didn’t even look at the fitness stuff ?. Has this always been on there ??‍♂️.

yes, it's something apple has been doing since the original Apple Watch, given that it is a health focused device, it makes total sense :)

OPEN QUESTION: I work out five days a week, on my treadmill for 45 min at 3MPH. A good brisk walk, heart rate’s up, the works. Depending on the day it might record a 45 min workout, or a 30 min one, one day last week it said I worked out for 12 minutes. I can find no rhyme or reason for what it thinks I did. But I do the same thing every day. Any ideas WTF might be going on? My AW6 never did this. the AW10 I have now didn’t either, until a few weeks ago.

Make sure you are doing an indoor walk workout and not just general weight lifting or general cardio. I believe the workout is calculated based on heart rate in some cases. Instead of just treating the entire session like a workout, it only calculates heart rate above a certain threshold to count towards exercise.

This is based off personal experience and I have no data to back this up. Good luck

Honestly I think I have only looked at that app about twice ? since owning it over the years. I wish Apple would do a cheaper Apple Watch without all the health features, all I used mine for was telling the time and notifications ??.

Apple already does that (not cheaper) and it’s called an iPhone, which you already own. There saved you USD 300 ?
