Thanksgiving 5k challenge not showing on watch

I earned the Thanksgiving 2019 5k challenge. It shows on my iPhone but not on my Apple Watch 5? Call me vein, but I want it on the watch. Both devices are up to date. Any ideas?

Good morning and thank you for the response. I ask because as shown on my watch this morning, you can see badges shown on the watch itself, including the Veterans Day Challenge Badge for my run on that day. It shows on both the watch and the phone but the thanksgiving only shows on the watch, hence my confusion.

The thanksgiving or any other award will NOT show on your watch they are kept in the watch activity app on the phone which keeps a record of ALL your awards and achievements.The watch app only records your workouts and then sends the workout data to the phone.The only time you see the awards on the watch is by way of a notification that you have achieved it.

I stand corrected and apologise,you CAN see awards on the apple watch I just couldn't find them at first,I checked my watch and ALL my award badges are there.according to apple an award may take up to 9 days to appear on your phone maybe it takes longer on the watch?.I know in the past if I didnt get a badge I force reset the watch and the phone and the badge magically appeared.So fingers crossed your award will appear shortly.
