Apple to Celebrate Veterans Day With Apple Watch Activity Challenge

[MacRumors]

Apple is planning to offer its next Apple Watch Activity Challenge on Thursday, November 11 in honor of the upcoming Veterans Day holiday.

Apple says that Apple Watch owners can earn the Veterans Day award by doing any workout for 11 minutes or more on November 11.

Earn this special award on November 11 by doing any workout for 11 minutes or more. Record your time with the Workout app or any app that adds workouts to Health.

As with all of Apple's Activity Challenges, the 2021 Veterans Day challenge will be accompanied by an award that can be viewed in the Fitness app and a series of animated stickers that can be used in the Messages app.

Apple has hosted a Veterans Day Activity Challenge for many years now, and the challenge is also often accompanied by other Veterans Day content that Apple highlights in the App Store, Apple TV app, Books app, and more.

That’s a great way to honor the veterans! Woo hoo! Thank you for your service. 🇺🇸

 

[jz0309]

Like they do every year…

 

[yaxomoxay]

For anyone that served: Thank you!

 

[stinkdieren]

Just curious, is this international or USA only?

 

[ned1]

I’m sure the veterans would/will be ecstatic….

Just curious, is this international or USA only?

A simple Google search for the date + Veterans Day will help you here.

 

[BF1M]

Wish they’d change the badge….

Nope that didn’t answer whether this award is US only or international.

Nope that didn’t answer whether this award is US only or international.

Has been US only all the other years.. no reason it would be international this year.

 

[Rocko99991]

This is great-will be doing this for sure. We need more ways to celebrate veterans.

 

[dontwalkhand]

11 minutes? That should be doable for most people.

 

[rbwca]

I hope it's US only, particularly with the stars and stripes badge format. In Canada and UK, November 11 is a day of solemn remembrance

Some of us will.

We do, but we need to do a better job of separating honoring those who have fought/served and our fetishization of military power. Maybe actually funding the VA/jobs programs for troops and stop giving the military a blank check to buy pointless military toys.

I'll be earning this badge though, finally an apple watch user (SE 44MM) and loving it. haven't missed a work out day since I strapped it on.

 

[DaveSanDiego]

Is it just me? or does that badge resemble a stylized STRAWBERRY more than an "Apple"?

 

[B4U]

Glad to see the additional sailor sticker.
Are those all of them? Will there be one that has a flight suit?

I celebrate veterans day by writing my elected representatives and asking why veterans have insufficient healthcare. But this is cool too I suppose.
