Apple Sets April Apple Watch Challenges for Earth Day and International Dance Day

Short, single-day goals with digital rewards aim to boost Apple Watch workout habits.

Overview

  • Apple confirmed two limited-time Activity challenges for April 22 and April 29 with date-specific goals and rewards.
  • Earth Day on April 22 awards a badge when users log any 30-minute workout using the Workout app or an app that saves workouts to Health.
  • International Dance Day on April 29 requires a Dance workout of at least 20 minutes recorded with the Workout app or any Health-compatible app.
  • Finishing either challenge unlocks a special Fitness app badge and animated stickers for use in Messages.
  • Workouts from third-party apps count toward the goals, and Apple typically surfaces Watch notifications before each one-day challenge as part of its recurring holiday program.
