Limited edition challenges

Ok I thought I was losing it. Nothing this month at all.

I didn’t receive the Unity challenge or the National Women’s Day challenge. Have the challenges been discontinued?

@lukairure46 What version of ios are you on? This issue seems to have appeared after one of the recent ios 17 updates.

You can tell Apple directly about your thoughts and wishes for future updates by using the Feedback link, since Apple does not follow these discussions.

🐲 wow very disappointed-no Lunar New Year badge to earn it’s the year of the Dragon and also no Healthy Heart badge-why are all these badges disappearing-it keeps me going to earn a badge and it’s fun to see them appear in your Fitness app-your Apple Watch team is going down the drain-looks like I’m going to have to purchase an Omni Ring-at least they are consistent. I have many friends that have made this change because Apple Watch is letting them down in the Fitness app meaning badges medallions consistency with these challenges. Very sad 😢 Apple is losing customers ☹️ Bye Bye Apple 👋

Disappointed ☹️ was hoping to get the dragon this year. Care to explain Apple for not including the Lunar New Year challenge? So inconsistent. Dragon year only happens once in 12yrs 🥹🥹🥹. Pls do add !!

Disappointed there was no Lunar New Year Challenge. My daughter who also just got her first apple watch was also looking forward to this challenge after seeing my Lunar New Year badges from the last two years.

I just want to add in how disappointed I am by this as well. Last year I had a goal to earn all monthly and limited edition badges, and it was so satisfying each time I earned one. When I reached my goal at the end of 2023 I was so proud of myself and I was very motivated to do it again this year. I’m so sad to be missing the Lunar New Year, Unity, and Heart Health this year. I really hope the team in charge of this steps it back up or I may also be looking for a new product.

I tell my husband “I need to do my exercises today, I want my dragon award!” What? No dragon award! ******!!! Apple: wake up!

Drama: my husband just showed me his dragon award from his Garmin watch. He’s laughing at me now.

I was, too. I was born in the year of the dragon, so that it would be really cool. Don't understand why none of this showed up. The Heart Challenge has shown up. I've reset both my deices and nothing.

I earned my heart day challenge today, happy that they send us the heart challenge.

Agree with every one else that it is so disappointing that we did not get the lunar and unity challenge. Was looking forward to it.

Hopefully we will get challenges the rest of the year.

It's sad that these cultural events (and they are events and cultural recognition) are not being recognized anymore. Who made that decision? Did someone complain that they were given badges when others were not? Then add badges for more events, don't take them away. IMHO I'm in Canada, and we don't get badges for Thanksgiving or Rememberance Day either. They're fun to collect. Please bring them back.

My longest move streak on my iPhone is correct at 605 days, but my watch says 527 days. I’ve had the streak inexplicably go to zero a couple of times and then a day or two later it would be back. After the last glitch the iPhone and watch have been out of sync and none of the suggestions here have corrected the discrepancy.

I tried the typical suggestions short of completely clearing and resetting my watch. The limited edition challenge badges weren’t showing in the fitness app at all for at least a few days. The badges came back when I checked at 11:59 PM EST on February 14, though they had not been there minutes before. The badges now also include the 2024 heart challenge which I had completed by virtue of doing my usual workout routine.

I have a discrepancy between my iPhone and the watch on my longest move streak and when. My phone correctly says 603 days ending September 7, 2023 (I had to take a couple of days off for back surgery) with 152 days in the current streak. My watch stubbornly says my longest streak was 527 days ending on September 20, 2023. The watch is correct with my current streak of 152 days.

As long as the data on my iPhone are correct and presumably also correct in the iCloud, I can live with the watch being wrong.

I talked to the Genius Bar people at the Apple Store who were puzzled and suggested that my watch might eventually correct itself. That was about three months ago.

Idris - That comment was meant for Apple and I should've been clearer when I wrote it. I'm assuming people at Apple are reading these posts because someone said they shared an email address for Apple in their post and that post was deleted and not by the person who wrote it.
