Not gonna lie, I lowered my Move goal too! But I previously posted that the only days I am able to double are days of a 10+ mile run. It’s a Thursday and I work a full time job. So I lowered it so that I had to do more than I normally would (in addition to my regular run I had scheduled for today, I had to go for a long walk, and also did some shopping at lunch) but it still requires extra effort. I wouldn’t have had to change it if it was the weekend.
Got a tip for us?

Did not lower my move goal, but walked from work instead of drove, had dinner with the friend and a wife and walked home from dinner instead of driving with my wife. Still didn’t double my goal, so walked to the bottle shop to pick up some beers
I have to say that I contemplated lowering mine as well (though not to 10). It was probably my most active week yet due to a 5-day weekend, new walking shoes and some decent weather. This is actually the third time this week I've doubled my Move goal (currently at 650), and I've only doubled it a total of 7 times this year. So three times in one week already feels like an accomplishment. But I knew if I lowered my goal, I'd feel like I "cheated" every time I saw it. So I eventually just put in the effort and got it honestly.
That said, can someone really cheat? I'm not sure. I know I would have felt like that, but I have no issues with anyone else doing whatever they want. They're only "cheating" themselves. Someone getting the badge with very little effort has absolutely no effect on me. So I certainly have no issues with it.
So I can see both sides.
Was there any kind of St. Patrick’s Day special achievement?? I meant to check and forgot to until the day after.
As far as my personal achievement I have to do this month, if is to go 140 miles, which is a little over 4.5 miles per day. As of right now, I have 40.7 miles to go, meaning I just need a little under 3.4 miles per day for the rest of the month to achieve this.
I got this.

Yes, there was one where you needed to keep your BAC below .05
Evidently no one qualified.
Although I like Erik’s answer better, no there wasn’t a St Patrick’s day challenge in the US.
Last week I got an alert that I only needed 343 cals to complete my challenge. The challenge hasn’t updated since, saying that I need to burn at least 16,787 calories this month and that I’ve burnt 16,444 calories so far.
Fix the effing challenges Apple!

My challenge was to double my move goal 17 times this month. It’s been stuck on 15 completions since the 1st.
Hmm. Those numbers might not jive, but I can’t tell...
Do you know how many times you’ve actually doubled it?
I could work it out if I really wanted to. My guess is i will make 17 times by the end of the month.
I finally got awarded my Women's Day challenge yesterday. Not sure why it took so long or why I was never offered the challenge to begin with but it suddenly appeared on my watch as completed and was there on my iPhone.
I completed my March Challenge of Doubling my Move Goal 15 times last night in the gym! Now just have to get the regular March badge.
Today I received my „100 move goals“ achievement. Yay…
The problem is:
- Since I own an Apple Watch, I‘ve only conpleted 73 move goals. In fact, if I‘ve counted correctly, only 88 days have actually passed since I wear the watch.
- The trophy text says, I achived the goal at the end of January, which makes even less sense.
These trophies are one of the most bugged pieces of software I‘ve experienced from Apple. I don’t understand what the problem is. All they have to do is count stuff, right?!

That’s very strange!
There was a point where my watch used to award my longest move streak badge twice a day. I wondered whether I’d get things like the 365 badge early but somewhere along the line it’s righted itself and if I scroll back those days only show one longest move streak badge.
The special monthly challenges are still very buggy but I think most of the rest are working okay for me (or when they do glitch it usually rights itself in a day or two).

I'm supposed to do 62 workouts this month but I'm not going to make it. I just haven't started very many workouts this week on my watch although I've been out walking. Yesterday, I got 38,000 steps in and I'm trying hard to get to 200,000 steps this week.
I want to get move or exercise challenges and not workout challenges each month.

Just been through and counted, today was the 15th time. It will be interesting to see if on Tuesday when I next run it counts to 16.
I just got my watch after Christmas. For whatever reason, I never did get a personal challenge for January or February, but I did get one for March. I needed to walk 215.6 miles which I completed yesterday! Got the badge this morning.
I also only need to hit my move goal 10 more times for my 100 days badge.
It's odd so many people have problems. Beyond not getting a personal challenge for the first two months, I've not had any major issues so far.

I only received my monthly move goal challenge. I didn't get a special challenge because I didn't set any workouts last week even though I walked 200,000 steps. I missed my special challenge for March because I only had 42 workouts and needed 62 but as I said, I just didn't set any workouts last week.
Sometimes it takes a day or two for those special challenges to show up. It did for me last month.
