Unity Challenge Award

The error is in the programming code. It seems to have calculated the previous 7 days taking it back into the end January, instead of calculating forward from February 1. The unity award should have shown completed 7 days after February 1, that is if all the rings have been closed.

I think your perspective on "unity" versus "history" has merit. I'm an African-American and I didn't focus on Apple's cultural correctness. The way I see it, this challenge may help many, regardless of race, get up and get moving in this pandemic.......it's about the health benefits for me where it concerns earning any of the badges. If I may ask, what would you suggest that Apple do to become more culturally correct?

Also, the issue of the glitch has already been reported as a bug.

The description says ‘close your Move ring seven days in a row during February’. So taking that literally you should be able to begin on a Wednesday and close your Move ring everyday up to and including the following Tuesday, or Saturday to Friday or any seven consecutive days starting on any day of the week as long as all seven days occur within the month of February.

As February began on a Monday, the 1st February to the 7th February would also work which is what I did although a bug in the system actually gave me the award on 1st February. The last day you could begin your 7 consecutive days is 22nd February (a Monday) which means you would finish on the 28th - the following Sunday.

As 2021 is not a leap year, the 28th is the last day of February. If you begin on 23rd February (Tuesday), the 7th day would be the following Monday which is the 1st March and means you would only achieve 6 days within February and therefore you would not qualify for this award. However, the known bug in the system may well give you the award on any of the last 6 days in February even if you hadn’t completed 7 consecutive days. But that is purely speculation on my part as, having already received the award, I have no way of testing whether that would be the case or not.

Taking that to its logical conclusion, if one has failed to close their Move ring on any day during February except Sunday the 28th (ie the 28th is the first day of February that the Move ring has been closed) the apparent bug in the system may allow you to be given the award.

I got the award this afternoon (1-Feb) once the move ring is closed. It seems definitely a bug. (It seems it is looking at previous seven days and if the last of the seven days is in Feb)

After 4-5 times force restarting, the appear on the watch and on the iPhone.

You all aren’t the only ones. Another person and I have already got a thread going on this as well

I submitted a bug report to Apple.

I got the unity award as well, on February 1, 2021. I am suspecting a program error.

I got my Unity Award at 15:30 GMT on the 1st February. It states that you must close your Move Ring 7 times in February. Meanwhile I have not received my initial Skipping, Pilates or Mind and Body awards.

The award is rewarded when rings are closed seven days, every day of the week. It could be at the beginning of the month, middle or end of the month.

I got it on watch on feb 1 and not even showing as an award on my phone app for this at all and I finished the week today and it won’t show still. On phone app.

Well and i closed all rings during last 7 days (Feb 1 - 7) and this challenge is still pending...

also failed to get a perfectly week one. There must be a bug...

The 2/14/2021 heart award didn’t show up on my iPhone 7 and Apple Watch 4, until I rebooted the devices.

Did you close 7 days in a row too, no misses in between? It has to be a clean sweep.
