January 2021 Fitness Challenge Missing

my husband got it on his - not me on my new watch (the newest version) or my old one (the first version) I've updated my phone and apps unpaired and re-paired but it doesn't show on either. his just popped up. The jan 1 is there but no months....

If you unpair your watch and pair is again but setup from backup you can pick the backup from before your current pairing and get your data back. :) Probs won’t give you your jan goal but at least your data will be back.

i had the workout challenge, was almost done it, too. but i noticed this morning that it is missing. the ‘ring in the new year challenge’ was on my watch briefly at the beginning of the month, was replaced with the workout one, and now it’s back with no progress. i’m actually pretty upset about it, which is kinda irrational, but here we are.

Mine was there in January but now it has disappeared. I received badges for a perfect week AND for a 10 day streak but still didnt get the Ring in the New Year badge and now it is gone, as if it was never there. Frustrating!! I want to do the February challenge but whats the point if I wont get the award?

That part is obvious, but I personally wouldn’t work out 7 days a week/every day of the month if there weren’t a badge/reward to motivate me. Obviously folks like the motivation of the badge if they’re in this thread concerned about why they DIDNT get it. Why are you here trolling comments?

No need to state the obvious because OBVIOUSLY folks who work out know the benefits, that’s why we do it. But what’s the point of the badges if some people get them and others don’t? If the rewards/features aren’t consistent across the board for everyone then it’s not fair. I had a notification to complete the challenge which I did, but no reward. So again.. What’s the point? I would’ve been better off without it because there would be no disappointment after working my butt off to achieve a badge I didn’t even get. So no, not silly, just a different way of thinking. Like someone offering you $100 for working out 7 days straight & after you achieve it, they decide they aren’t giving you the $100 reward. You went the extra mile to put in the effort when you didn’t have to 🤷🏽‍♀️

I too didn’t even know I had a January award to earn then discovered I had earned it when I looked at the app on my phone but the medal with the date and year doesn’t show up on my watch at all and sometimes when I touch the black space above the words it crashes closed and I have to open the fitness app again. Three days ago it didn’t even record that I moved more than 57 calories. Could something be wrong with my watch? Got it in June of 2020.

My challenge has been to close all three rings the last 3 months in a row, and now I have it for a fourth month? Does that sound right?

like first couple of months was grand but I’d like a bit of variety.

Me too! I’ve unpaired and re-paired my watch initially from a back up and then “as a new watch” to try and get it to appear but it’s still not showing (and now I’ve lost my historical data too 😓).

Me too!! I contacted apple support and they told me the challenge is available yet..is this true for everyone?

Yes it’s definitely available to some but not pinged out to everyone for some reason?

I received mine on the first (probably less than 5% chance of achieving it though). I know other people that don't have it.

Have received every monthly challenge for 3 years always is announced on the first of the month.

that’s what I figured that didn’t sound right when the support desk told me that thanks!
