Hello everyone,
I wanted to share an update regarding an issue I encountered with hiking badges in the Fitness app, hoping this might help others who come across a similar situation.
In order to be eligible for the golden badge (record awards), it’s essential to complete at least five workouts of the same activity. It’s from the sixth workout onward that the system begins to recognize and award new record badges.
In my case, I achieved my personal best in terms of distance and elevation gains during my third hike. However, since this achievement fell within the initial five sessions, it was not recognized as a personal record for badge distribution purposes.
It’s worth noting that if, like me, you happen to reach a significant milestone within these first five activities, the system won’t award you the golden badge for it. Achievements within these initial sessions aren’t considered for personal record badges.
It might be helpful if this mechanic was more clearly communicated within the app. But I hope sharing this here helps clarify the situation for anyone else encountering similar badge distribution issues.
