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.

It does have my name on the back. Nope not airpods, I actually have the Bose Soundsports.
 
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.

So do you wear your watch when doing tournaments or do you just keep it in your pocket? When I do high school games I keep it in my pocket and does a pretty good job. They don't let us wear watches during games for school

It varies depending on who I’m working with. I prefer to wear it but have some partners that make a stink about it so then I just put it in my pocket.

I'll be interested to see if it closes tomorrow for those of us that already have 7+ day streaks going... (like the special January challenge did.)

Mine is still open and I have about 100 day streak currently going.

I almost blew it the first day. I was gonna blow off my evening elliptical session, and then realized I hadn’t closed my ring and it would affect this new one week challenge. So I flipped on my current amazon prime video binge series, The Guardian, and did 20 minutes go close my rings.

My goal is to go 229.6 miles this month. So far I am at 81.0 miles so I will clearly make it. I've been getting 9-9.5 miles each day. Today I forced myself to get in two walks till I got 20,000 steps in. I hope to get 140,000 for the week and I am at 98,135 according to my watch. That will be my all time best.
 
Hello there MR!

Welcome to the 2018 Monthly Challenge Thread! Each month, as we all know, the Apple Watch via the Activities app will challenge each Apple Watch owner to push themselves in terms of calories burned, minutes of exercise, exercise amounts and distance done while doing exercise. This extra push comes from an analysis into our historical activities and workouts.

This thread is for anyone trying to reach their own goals to post. The goal of this thread is to provide a support area by which we all see where we are and where we want to reach and how we are doing to reach the goal.

So post up your month challenge and have fun completing them!

We do realize Apple has some glitches and bugs in the system, post them here too and we'll try to help out so your challenge stickers appear.

Have fun!

So January only has 6 days left. How close are you guys to completing the fitness challenge?

21k calories to burn here. I'm clocking at 18.8k right now. Should take me 4 more days and have 2 to spare.
I earned my heart challenge today but no surprises as I exercise a lot which reflects on my excellent and beautiful physique that has been admired by anyone at my gym and anywhere whoever look at me. I am a bodybuilder after all.
 
I got the award already today even though I haven't closed my move ring. I'm close but not there yet.

It's the Exercise ring that needs to be closed, not the Move ring. So you did finish the challenge properly.
I see. Thanks for clarifying.
[doublepost=1518620998][/doublepost]By the way, my February challenge is to walk 229.6 miles. I'm at 127.5 so far and I will get another 4-5 before today's over.
 
Looks like I somehow got screwed on the heart challenge. I closed the exercise ring with no problem from the 8th through the 14th, but the award no longer shows and I received no credit.

Not the first time that has happened, got similarly screwed on the Veterans Day award, which as a vet, pissed me off even more than this one

Edit: After rebooting both the phone and watch, I finally did get credit for the Heart Challenge at 6:27AM MST on February 15th. Apple still owes me the Veterans Day award though

My February challenge is to double my move goal four times. I’ve doubled my move goal four times. Today I got an alert saying I’ve doubled my move goal three times and to do one more. :rolleyes:
