Apple Watch limited edition challenge for Chinese New Year 2024

The dragon woulda been a cool icon 😤

What a disappointment! I trained really hard yesterday to get the dragon of the Chinese Lunar new year 2024.. nothing happened 🙁

Same. They have really crapped put the last few years on the challenges we used to get for limited edition. Thanksgiving. Then yoga last year and now lunar this year. Kind of a bummer:(

I have reported an “Issue” to Apple via their feedback form and support portal:

Feedback - Watch - Apple

And I kindly suggest that you might do the same. The more people report this issue, the more likely we might get back agin these wonderful limited edition challenges.

Today is February 16, 2024, and I haven’t received the limited edition Chinese Lunar New Year Challenge 2024 (Year of the Dragon) or the Unity Challenge on the Apple Watch this February, which have been offered in previous years.

Only the Heart Month Challenge 2024 was active on February 14, which I successfully completed.

Apparently some other Apple customers have also noticed this problem, see here:

Weder Mond Neujahr noch Unity für 2024 we… - Apple Community

I'm also not sure why Apple doesn't announce that these challenges will be discontinued or when and where they will be available.

I'm really hoping for an update, and to get these very important challenges back from Apple next year. Thanks!

It appears the international women’s badge isn’t happening this year, as well as the unity, and Chinese new year one never did either. It’s a massive shame as I enjoy doing these challenges for many years now.

Tell Apple what you'd like to see:

They do appear. However there isn’t one appearing for the 2024 Lunar New Year - Year of the Dragon. That holiday was yesterday. No annual challenge exists for the Year of the Dragon.

I agree. Apple still hasn’t done the Women’s Day challenge either. Did they get rid of that too?

Apple has gotten pretty lazy it seems. I guess they want to render themselves unnecessary…without the challenges etc there is no gimmick keeping you from going to any other smart watch… I was hoping for one today too but when it wasn’t listed the last few days realized they weren’t going to do that one either. I’d love a programmer to go over how much work it is to push those things out. Seems weird to just not offer them but keep offering the boring monthly ones. So. Weird.

Have you told Apple what you think?

Corporations are not democracies. As long as they follow local law they make their own rules which are not based the something as nebulous as equality for all regions. Apple is a US-based corporation, the US gets more things from Apple than the rest of the world. It is what it is.

Apple does not read here in this user-to-user forum for feedback or suggestions. You can, however, let the know your thoughts here:

Honestly, I’m hoping they have these challenges for next month. Not sure what’s going on with Apple, but I’m hoping they fix this issue.

Have you told Apple that?

Well, at least I got my heart months badge yesterday. However, I am still missing the Chinese Lunar New Years and Unity badges a lot this year… 😢 Greetings from Germany, Axel 🖖🏽

The scuttlebutt on the internet is that there is only a Hearth Month Challenge for FEB 2024.

No Unity Challenge and no Lunar New Year challenge.
