I know not all Apple Watch Fitness Challenges are available in all regions (we do not have the Veterans Day and the National Fitness Day challenges) - but normally I get the Lunar New Year Challenge and the Unity Challenge around the end of January - but today is 1 February 2024 - and they are nowhere to be seen. Have UK been excluded from both this year?
Apple Watch Series 5
Lunar challenge hopefully will be around 10 February this year
Chinese New Year falls on different dates each year as it follows the lunar calendar. In 2024, Chinese New Year begins on February 10th and continues for 15 days, with the Lantern Festival marking the end of the celebrations
Please mind that Apple is not necessarily reading these community discussions.
Thus I have reported a “Problem” to Apple via their feedback and support portal:
I kindly suggest that you do the same.
The more people report this issue, the more likely it will be to get our beloved limited edition challenges back again.
I have written:
Today is February 16, 2024, and I haven’t received the limited edition Chinese Lunar New Year Challenge 2024 (Year of the Dragon) or the Unity Challenge on the Apple Watch this February, which have been offered in previous years.
Only the Heart Month Challenge 2024 was active on February 14, which I successfully completed.
Apparently some other Apple customers have also noticed this problem, see here:
Limited edition challenges - Apple Community
Apple Watch limited edition challenge for… - Apple Community
Weder Mond Neujahr noch Unity für 2024 we… - Apple Community
I'm also not sure why Apple doesn't announce that these challenges will be discontinued or when and where they will be available.
I'm really hoping for an update, and to get these very important challenges back from Apple next year. Thanks!
The more people do the same, the more likely we are to get the attention we need. Regards, Axel
Canada this year didn’t get lunar year nor unity challenge . It’s March 8 today too and we didn’t get international women’s day either. And also we don’t get Veterans Day or national fitness day . Needless to say , I am NOT happy.
Folks, let's send constructive, clear feedback to Apple that we really miss these Limited Edition Challenges, but still want them. The more people send feedback, the more likely we are to get these challenges back 💪
You can do it here - it's really easy:
P.S. That is what I have sent to Apple just now:
"Please bring back the Limited Edition Challenges. Today is March 8, 2024, and now the Limited Edition Challenge for International Women's Day 2024 is also missing.
Before that, in February 2024, we were already missing the Lunar New Year Dragon and Black Unity Challenges.
I had successfully completed every single International Women's Day challenge since 2018.
And now no challenge at all? That's very disappointing and frustrating!
Therefore, I ask you to bring these Limited Edition Challenges back as soon as possible. That would be a small thing for Apple. But for many users it means a lot.
Thank you very much!"
Same her, no International Women's Day Challenge in the UK :-(
I've used the product feedback link and sent a complaint.
No, still nothing - no Lunar Challenge, no Unity Challenge.
It will be interesting to see if we (UK users) are cut out of Heart Month Challenge (14th February) and International Women’s Day Challenge (8th March) too.
its 2nd Feb today and still no challenges received for Lunar new year and Unity Challenge. Hope Apple is adding these to all regions
I've not got it has anybody else got the challenge?
Heart month has now appeared but no lunar or unity
yes
its 2nd Feb today and still no challenges received for Lunar new year and Unity Challenge. Hope Apple is adding these to all regions
I also got the heart month
Same! Got Heart Month now.
Today is February 10, Lunar New Year for Year of the Dragon- where is our Lunar New Year challenge? Did Apple do away with that AND the unity challenge? what is going on, Apple??? At least come out with a list of what challenges are going to be available for those of us who obsessively-compulsively look for these so we’re not strung along and then left hanging. Bad form, Apple. Really bad form. That is not good customer rapport.
