Apple Watch's Latest Activity Challenge Starts Tomorrow, Earn a 'Heart Month' Award and iMessage Stickers

February is Heart Month, aimed at promoting cardiovascular health, and Apple is taking part with a new Activity Challenge that tasks Apple Watch users with closing their Exercise ring in the Activity app for seven consecutive days. The challenge kicks off tomorrow, February 8, and runs through February 14.

Those who successfully complete the Activity Challenge will receive a special heart-themed award and iMessage stickers, as shared by Kyle Seth Gray on Twitter.

Activity Challenges are often tied to special occasions or holidays throughout the year, such as Earth Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day, and New Year's. Achievements can be tracked in the Activity app under the Awards tab.

I've got an Apple Watch, but I must say I hardly even notice these events or challenges. Do people actually pay attention to them?
Yes, there is a good number of people (like myself) who use their watches as workout motivators. Challenges and events are a little extra motivation.

Nope, not seeing it.

It does show up on my watch though.
That's strange - hopefully you'll still get the Award once you have achieved the challenge - good luck.

Did anyone receive a notification about this challenge on their watch or phone? I didn't.
I did a day before the challenge. There's one more hour till midnight in my timezone so I should have it pretty soon.
