Completed Apple Watch monthly challenge but didn't get the award

Okay, last month's (October) challenge was to move 134.9 miles, which I did complete. But the watch hasn't actually given me the award thus far. I've tried every possible solution I've searched for on here and in general, and nothing so far. Anything else I could try?

Well, we have no idea what you have tried. The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

If that doesn't help, the next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup just created. This should result in no loss of data. It deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system.

Hello, thanks for the reply, I should've been a bit more descriptive. I indeed tried restarting both devices, I tried killing the fitness app on the watch, I pretty much tried everything that didn't involve unpairing, erasing and re-pairing the watch, and that would be a last resort because when you do that, the watch stops tracking your fitness data for the day. But yes, I just unpaired and erased, paired it back, let everything rebuild and reinstall and I still don't have the October award.
