Limited Edition Badges in Apple Watch not showing anymore

Hi everyone. So here is my problem. I have a Watch 4, updated to the latest OS and an iPhone X with the latest OS as well. However, I don't receive any of the special badges anymore. The latest one was in February, the Unity Challenge. Since then, nothing else, although there were quite a few. Anyone has an opinion with what can cause this? Any ideas? The daily rings are OK, I complete them every day and they show up. But no Special Challenge.

Help :(

That's pretty good if they still appear on the Watch app. I would not be that worried about it..., give it a couple more days to settle and see how things evolve.


If the issue still remains, you could also delete the Activity app and then reinstall it. That might give it the required push to sync everything back in.

Yes there is that kind of sync issue with the limited edition badges now and then. Have you checked if they are still displayed on the watch itself, or are they gone there too?


Which series of the watch is it? Anyways, my kind of lame recommendation for this is to close all apps, restart both devices and then just hope that the next sync with iCloud.com will bring them back. In most cases that seems to happen automatically. I am thinking that one possible reason is that the sync pull occasionally times out, and the limited edition awards are possible the last ones on the list to be pushed across.

Hi and thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I tried all that. Restaring and everything. I even re-paired the watch, restored it and everything. Nothing.

Now that you mention it, the special badges are completely gone from the watch history. They still appear in the phone app. The watch is a 4 series with the iPhone X. I have been wearing it 758 straight days. And now I am not sure what to do anymore…
