Apple Adds Apple Watch Activity Challenge for Veterans Day

[MacRumors]

Apple will hold a special Apple Watch Activity Challenge on Veterans Day, November 11. As with past holidays, Apple Watch owners can earn an exclusive badge and an iMessage sticker if they complete the challenge (via 9to5Mac).

To earn the badge and sticker, Apple Watch wearers must clock up an eleven-minute workout on Veterans Day. To record the activity, wearers need to use Apple's stock Workout app or a third-party app that feeds data to Apple's HealthKit.

Veterans Day is a U.S. holiday, so the Challenge won't show up for Apple Watch users set to other regions. The last special activity challenge Apple promoted occurred in summer in coordination with the National Parks Foundation.

Dear Apple: How about donating a dollar to Veteran's charities for everyone who completes this challenge?

“Veterans Day” is a US-specific holiday, but 11th November is also Remembrance Day for most Commonwealth countries. It’s a shame if Apple doesn’t also do something similar in those countries.

Misread your comment. Updated and removed.

Simple badge concept, too. Something poppy-themed.

Maybe Apple needs to expand its cultural diversity team to include non-US cultures.

I hope Apple sees this. The themed badges are fun so far as they go, but the idea seems to be missing something. Coupling the badges with a charitable donation would really align the workout incentive with the reason for the holiday.
