Monthly challenge has no difficulty

So whatever happened to the monthly challenges that they are now ridiculously easy? I thoroughly enjoyed being challenged to walk 144km or exercise an hour daily, and now it’s 14 days of a couple kilometres a day which is literally my commute to college.

I thought it was supposed to be a challenge, and therefore make me work harder to achieve it. Now it makes me barely care for getting the badge because it doesn’t take much work.

For February I have to double my exercise goal 10 times. But it doesn’t matter if it’s 5 minutes or if I set it to 50. That is not a challenge.

Can we please get a feature to choose if we want harder challenges or not, like a checkbox in the settings or something?

This is an interesting topic!

It seems to me that these challenges are produced by algorithms based on you and your abilities.

One person needs to close their Exercise ring 12 times in February.

Mine wants me to beat a certain number of calories 14 times in February.

And then... I'm not sure if you'd be interested in trading watches with this person, but theirs is going to be a really good challenge!!

Supposedly this person needs to close all their rings 31 times in February!!

Ohh... Hang in there. Maybe it's just making it easy for you this month ;-)

Hey there!

Thanks for your reply. Even though I have been heavily working out, for the past 5 months the challenges have been like that since an update in October.

So I’m sure it’s not being easy on me, and I have a friend who is also bothered by it. She goes to the gym almost everyday to do heavy strength training and some of her challenges have been even more ridiculous.

The algorithm used to be like you described it, but since the update, they are being weirdly easy. They are all 10-14 days long and I have to achieve a specific small goal daily. I miss the ones where I was actually challenged, like when I had to achieve 16,700 calories in September.

But I’ll stay hopeful, that they will be more challenging soon..
