I love this one. Cycling is the best way to complete it and it provides the best work out ratio.
How many times do you complete a perfect month? Remember, the Apple Watch looks into your historical and challenges you to push yourself a bit more. If your historicals show you don't complete the month perfect challenge, that might be why.
I used to consistently get perfect months, but my daily move goal is now up to 1140 a day, so I havent got a perfect month since October. The Apple Watch should know though that a perfect month is already an achievement you receive. It shouldn't be an option as a second personal achievement. Why should I get two awards for the same goal. Give me a different goal to work for besides that.
I go to a Crossfit class 3-4 times a week. Other days, I bike or do the elliptical machine. Last year between June-August, I was training for my first Sprint Triathlon. Here is my progression for Move Goal:
June 2015 - July 19th, 2015 - 420 a day
July 20th, 2015 - August 23rd, 2015 - 460
August 24th, 2015 - September 13th, 2015 - 510
September 14th, 2015 - April 17th, 2016 - 560
April 18t, 2016 - September 4th, 2016 - 610
September 5th, 2016 - September 11th, 2016 - 670
September 12th, 2016 - October 16th, 2016 - 700
October 17th, 2016 - October 30th, 2016 - 770
October 21st, 2016 - January 8th, 2017 - 840
January 9th, 2017 - March 12th, 2017 - 870
March 13th, 2017 - October 15th, 2017 - 950
October 16th, 2017 - October 22nd, 2017 - 1040
October 23rd, 2017 - Now - 1140
Finally got mine the last day of the month.
Wow. Better late than never getting it... Hopefully Apple fixes these issues ASAP!
My challenge is bugged, again. It's for exercise minutes and is already showing that I've completed 18 hours of exercise on the first day (which it's actually getting from last month, meaning that the amount will never increase as February goes on and it'll be impossible to complete the challenge). Sigh. I really wish Apple would fix these issues because so far not a single monthly challenge has worked for me - every one of them has been bugged and has been counting data from the previous month instead of the current month.
Finally got mine the last day of the month.
Does it have your name on the back of the award? Or is it blank like everyone else's? Also, is that the battery for your airpods? I'm going to have to figure out how to add that now instead of going to bed.

I would be really cross if this was my challenge so I share your frustration but it is also making me laugh. It’ll be interesting to see whether you get both badges; the normal move goal one always fills in immediately you hit it but the personal challenge badges don’t and achieving the target on the last day means the badge can disappear without trace before if fills in so you never get it. (Yep. I’m still bitter about October.)
February Challenge: 63 workouts that last for 15 minutes or more.
Seeing as I have been sick with the flu the last few days, this one might be tough to hit.

Got my February challenge on the right date this time.
The challenge is double my movement for 7 days, and it says I already completed 5. At the end of the day (February 1st) I had doubled my movement and it said 6/7. So I thought it worked this time, but I easily completed it today also and it did not count.
Really annoying bug, feels like Apple owes me several badges.

It is really hard to be motivated to achieve my February Goal when I busted my ass to get the January Goal and it didn't show.. very disappointed. When I spoke to Apple they just tell me to restart the watch and phone and then pair and unpair.. which doesn't work. My Goal is 600 move average a day.. which is looking tough off the back of a bad flu. I'd plan to take a week off workouts.
I think I’ll be pushed this month. I need to double my move goal 10 times. In January I did that 9 times, but on 8 of those days, it was when I was refereeing basketball tournaments and running 3-4 games a day. I only have 2 such days this month on my calendar right now and not likely to increase significantly. This one will be interesting.
Clearly my Feb challenge is buggy as I got this today:
I’m not proud, so I’ll take it
It is technically possible to have it in two days... after all each day is ~1440 minutes.
They told me to do the same thing and I lost my data. Their response was 'sorry you lost your data'.
Of course, it kind of fixed the problem eventually - I ended up with TWO Move badges for January but on the downside I lost my February Move Badge even though two days in I'm still on track...
The whole challenge and tracking from Apple Watch has dropped the ball and I'm quickly losing interest.
We won't know because I didn't finish my move goal on day 1. I needed a day off so I only got up to 673 of my 1140 goal.
My February challenge has changed from averaging 51 minutes exercise a day to doing two (yes, two) workouts lasting 15 minutes or longer. Hmm. Admittedly I don’t generally do workouts but all I need to do is start an outdoor walk workout twice for the walk from the station to work. I think I can manage that!
I'm assuming everyone's heard about this by now?

I'd create an entirely new thread, but I don't want to copy the info from another site as if it's my information.
