Hey guys, so I had my iPhone X since launch day and it’s been working great up until 2 days ago where it started experiencing non stop springboard crashes and system crash reboots so I took it to Apple and they said it was a hardware issue and they replaced it for me, The only backup I had in iTunes on my computer was an encrypted backup I created the day before I got my iPhone X on Nov 3rd which is about 3 weeks old now and that’s the backup I used to restore the iPhone X Apple gave me as a replacement.


Since I restored from a 3 week old backup I lost about 3 weeks of health data progress which isn’t a big deal as all my prior won achievements badges are there but during the month of November there were 2 “Special” Apple Watch Activity challenges during this month that happen on rare occasions, one was the Veterans Day challenge and the second one was the Thanksgiving challenge and I succefully completed both during this month and I had the achievement badges under the “Achievments” section in the Activity App to show for it,


Needless to say, Now that I’m on a 3 week old backup, The achievements section does not show any Veterans Day challenge or badge nor a thanksgiving challenge or badge as if they were never offered nor completed by me.


Is there any way I can recover these 2 “Special” achievement badges into my Activity app or are they lost?
 
Based on my experience with managing health data they're probably gone for good. From here on I would highly recommend you set up automatic iCloud backups as Health data is included in those and the watch backs up along with it.
