Thank you. I might be overdoing it some days though.. Watch is really important for my health and exercise and I am now allowing myself to slow down some days.
Remember when the apple watch came out and apple thought sending people your heartbeat was a big deal. They had the fitness stuff from the start but it wasn't until the 2nd or 3rd watch they figured out that was the target. Yes it does all that other cool stuff but the fitness MP3 player stuff was the most important.
It's cool they gave us another ring to attain since they took away International Women's Day and the Unity Challenge (I wonder why)

Not entirely sure. ✔️
The press release says that Apple Store will have it in stock for a free giveaway starting on April 24th next Thursday but I highly doubt how it would go fast unless if folks saw it a lot on the Apple website days leading up to the exclusive activity challenge being live.
I may ring my local Apple Store next Thursday to see how they distribute it I plan on going there sometime the weekend after it goes live.
Up for the challenge. Looking forward to closing the rings and collecting the award. Would have been great if Apple is releasing a special edition strap for the anniversary.
I appreciated the rings for a while. It even made sense, but that was with the Apple Watch Series 3. Today, when Garmin offers adaptive training, fatigue level… Heck! Even the small studio behind Gentler offers a much better motivation and evaluation system, what Apple does seems unbearably limited. And ok, I understand if it was like this, that they leave a loophole for developers who create an application for ambitious amateurs and pros – Apple stays at the basic level with the rings, fine. But for God's sake! Let them open the API and let them give the possibility to overwrite these stupid rings. No, I would rather not disable them (although now I have the option), but I want Apple not to bombard me with the same idiotic goal, if I did 400% the day before.
They have the Apple Watch Ultra – they should have introduced adaptive training and fatigue level when that watch was launched. Otherwise, it is, the iPad Pro M4, which is not going to do much more than any other iPad.

IIRC Pausing rings is a new feature of one of the recent updates. I will definitely do that going forward.
Just tried to ring my local store (UK). Got through to a centralised number who didn’t know anything about it, so I’m none the wiser…
Mate, it seems too early it’s Wednesday.
Will ring the Apple Store on Friday or Saturday to ask about it. Thursday I’m quite busy
There you go that’s how it looks like ❤️ thanks for the link
Apple Sydney have the pins just had to ask the person at the door and he pulled it from his pocket.

Apple Broadway (NSW) also have the pins, so I'll assume all stores have them today.

Our Australia Apple Watch wearers received their pins today, and I appreciate you sharing that. I’m quite busy tomorrow, but I’ll be getting mine this weekend.
I’m fully committed to the challenge!
I wanted to check before going in today, but was no bother, just asked someone and they got one out of the store cupboard. Nice pin, glad I hopped in there in between work calls. Now to decide what to do with it…

Display it.
Pin it on a corkboard.
Usually with pins I do not put it on clothing as I may forget to remove it before throwing it in the washer.
I also put it on lanyards, they are the best places to put pins. I still have my NASA NCAS pin on my work badge from my old job lol.
Planning to get mines on Saturday or Sunday, quite busy today. I will ring them to see if they have it before I come in the Apple Store. But will do the activity challenge today!
They look great! Are they magnetic like the WWDC pins
gives out?
