Apple Watch Owners Notified of Upcoming 'Ring In the New Year' Activity Achievement

I did lose them I didn't want to lose them.
Had an iPhone 6s failure and Apple did replace it but I did not want to restore from a backup due to some battery issues I was having, which did not want it to be cloned. So everything on my activity was gone and I paired my AW. Surely there must be away for Apple to make an old activity restoration possible even if you did choose to activate a new phone without restoring all the apps and settings from an iCloud back up.

Some people may choose to not fully restore from an old back up (for all sorts of reasons, for example fixing the software related issues they are having)
You do get phone contacts, messages, notes, emails etc linked to your Apple acount.... even if you choose to activate a fresh new phone. Activity App should be an option also.

Physical fitness is really important and detrimental to you overall energy and health. When you're up and moving and running, your inducing more positive energy to your body and allowing your body to build stamina.
I personally weight lift more than I run, but even so, every single day when I weight lift, it really does make a difference in how you feel about yourself and your overall energy levels.
I'm guessing you restore from an iTunes backup?! If this is the case, you must check 'encrypt iPhone backup' before you backup your old device. You need to encrypt your backup in order for health data, including achievements, to be backed up. When you restore from the encrypted backup to your new device, your achievements will all be there. Hope this helps.
I never got it, no notification, nothing, it never showed up in my achievements. I have not restored my phone or watch, so I don't know why I haven't got it.
I was wondering the same thing myself. I'm not interested in having someone else set random goals for me. It's an unwelcome intrusion - particularly when it arrives on my watch and can't be ignored.
So I've turned off all notifications for the Activity app. I've been doing that lately for other apps that have started spamming me with excess notifications.
The thing is, I use the activity app quite a lot and it might prevent it working normally? Anyone know? Anyone tried this already? I guess I'll find out soon enough.
Contacts, message, notes, etc are stored in the cloud and your backup. Apple's does not store health data anywhere in the cloud, it's only in your backup.
I sometimes do weights but for me I find the push whilst running is more difficult to get to, but more easy to surpass. When I hit my limit with weights I'm done for the night. With running I can continue in broken mode
I really miss it. I used to run 2 miles a night and settle down to a film whilst my body recharged. It was great fun. But yeah... in depression it can be difficult to kickstart exercise but once it starts you feel so much better. Doesn't fix it (for me at least) but makes the day brighter!
That's exactly the problem. You restore your phone due to say a software issues to eleminate whatever issues you had before, all that health data is gone. Unless you choose to restore from an iCloud back up and carry over whatever issues you had before.
They feel your health data is too sensitive to store it. I don't disagree there should be an option, but I don't see them changing anytime soon.

You got a notice of the upcoming achievement.
Completely agree - and I'm speaking with over 35yrs of my 43yrs alive.
Physical fitness has such a profound impact on your life:
stronger,
better utilization of nutrients in your system,
more accurate breathing and thus your body self meditates,
cleaner skin,
more taught skin,
looking younger, and cause you're more fit you FEEL younger, you SMILE more, you FEEL BETTER about yourself,
your outlook on life is better - ESPECIALLY when your chips are down - and trust me HUGE breakups, financial crisis 3x in life and I mean MAJOR ones where a gadget and food come second to your daily thoughts(!!) you are better left mentally to take such challenges better on! On top of that you become more organized to avoid such challenges and begin new ones which you choose,
you become essentially happier and this somehow leaks off of you onto others around you ... they notice your moods becoming stable, happier they see a better side to you mentally not just physically.
The serious bonus to this "selfish" effort of work ... when we have an untimely end to our lives, your organs are better served into another's body who just may need that second chance in life who may also transcend other lives, for the better.
Happiness chant off:

Soon there'll come a moment where you're inner core will snap and you'll just get sick and tired of being 'depressed' - hopefully. Maybe a more subtle start is the power of lies.
honestly, we all lie and for many different reasons, infants life at 8mths (ever see a baby fake a cry to see a parents' reaction before?
So ... what I propose is wake up in the morning after using the can, look into the mirror whilst washing your hands and tell yourself what you SEE yourself as, what you SHOULD SEE, yet phrase it as present tense! example: I'm happy to see another sunshine today, I'm happy I have xxx color eyes, I have the sexiest smile (and do so whilst FORCING a smile! sometimes these acts begin to cause self belief ... do it daily ... start with just 3 things. maybe say you're proud of your child/ren, then that you've done a great job in raising them whatever it takes! Do this daily so what if you may sound stupid saying it just do it, you can ... it's in your home ...
OR if you're that depressed try just running out the blahs' ... it may help to?
Maybe favorite tracks you have or parents favorite tracks ... recall what they did while listening to them when you where very young, and try to figure that out ... you'll have a eureka moment or laugh your head off.
The Turkey day badge was NOT US only (I got it) ... just got the ring-in announcement as well, (my iTunes account is EU, my location not US) ...
I had a chat with an apple genius yesterday about badges, somehow my activity database seems to be out of whack and I seem to be getting my move streak badges too late, but I still get them (on day 439 now, kinda very OCD about it, but that's the watch's fault
Having said that, I still totally love my Apple Watch, so much in fact that I bought a second one. The first one's battery can barely track a 20K run before dying ... I also asked about the battery replacement program, but they were similarly oblivious about that (ok, there was also still very heavy holiday traffic in the store)
Funny now I have my Thanksgiving award shows up twice on my iPhone. It is ugly. I restarted the phone, but nothing happens. I am one of those who really cares about those things. My longest move streak is 541 days and counting.
I think it's only for OS 3. I haven´t got anything related to this on my Apple watch series 0 with OS 2.
First, iCloud backups are stored in the Cloud by definition. Apple very much does store your health information in the cloud - it just doesn't allow developers to do so
Second, I never got the notification for either day
I completed the challenge earlier today, but haven't received the badge yet. The placeholder is still showing.
EDIT: I just checked again. The achievement isn't awarded for just for completing the challenge over seven consecutive days, but seven consecutive days beginning on a Monday and ending on a Sunday.
UPDATE: Got the badge as advertised. It was a fun little challenge with which to begin the year. Hope Apple does more of these!

I completed this last Sunday, but no achievement has unlocked yet
I was so motivated to do this, went walking from the office at lunch time as well Any idea why it's not unlocked?
