Let's get out there and show some love for the planet. On April 22, work out for 30 minutes or more to earn this award. Record it with the Workout app or any app that adds to Health.

On International Dance Day, Apple Watch users can earn an award by completing a Dance workout that lasts for 20 minutes or more.

Get into the groove! Earn this award by recording a Dance workout of 20 minutes or more on International Dance Day, April 29. Record it with the Workout app or any app that adds workouts to Health.

Apple Watch owners who earn the awards will unlock dedicated badges in the Fitness app, plus they will get a series of animated stickers that can be used in the Messages and FaceTime apps.

Very cool but I might pass on trying to achieve the dance one 🕺

 

[JPack]

Today is International Poutine Day. Apple should make something for that.

 

[Felder71]

I love that we are getting an animated sticker of the Apple Fitness Dance crew. That's a fun add.

 

[sjsharksfan12]

I guess I will be missing out on the Dance award.

 

[redbeard331]

We still want an award for international yodeling day, maybe next year.

As for these, we do a lot of chanting, drumming, and dancing here, so we hope to win these!

 

[Octavius8]

Any one actually “collects” those?. I do exercise 4 days a week and I seldom see an achievement “unlocked”.

Today is International Poutine Day. Apple should make something for that.

You are correct. They say it first appeared in Quebec in the 1950's. Best if Apple does not mess with this delicacy.

 

[Pecka]

I hate dancing.

 

[philcourage]

I want international Apple price increase day.
Wait, there's many of those lately.

How about Courage day™️

A day where we all show some form of courage for 20 minutes to get an award? They could award us a nice set of animated lion heart stickers.

The question is, can our Apple Watches detect courage?

I’ve collected over 150 since 2017, these challenges can keep exercise a bit more interesting from time to time just like the challenges on Strava.

"On International Dance Day, Apple Watch users can earn an award by completing a Dance workout that lasts for 20 minutes or more."

Just dance inside your home, with or without the blinds/shades down, to your heart's content.
Shake your booty and earn that badge! 😂

Love that Apple does these activity challenges.

one animated sticker earth is bouncing a bowling ball while holding a bottle of vodka, while the other is playing with decapitated heads? this recession is hitting apple hard

 

[B4U]

Did someone say dance?
This is the only kind I know. (That is not me in the video though)

 

[Verified Whiskey]

Good to know that I can get credit for my dancing!! Me and the girls are definitely getting down next weekend.

 

[Naraxus]

Come celebrate Earth Day with Apple by purchasing devices with proprietary charging methods thereby necessitating the need to buy dongles and cables creating more e-waste!

Lol ...

is the 4th emoji a celebration of Saturday Night Fever's John Travolta's dance? Gads when he passes that dance will break the internet

Also the 5th emoji is that the Macarena? eeek/w!

 

[svish]

Good stickers. Ready for the challenge.

 

[East India Company]

Am I the only one who finds these “awards” very creepy?

Disco doesn't suck after all. 46 years later the dance icon is the John Travolta "iconic" (pun intended) pose from Saturday Night Fever... The icon would be better in white instead of green.

I don't know but it feels like Apple is shaming me for not being able to dance with this challenge 🤣

 

[Smigit]

Does anyone know whether there’s a maintained calendar (iCal) of these events that one can subscribe to. Often miss the notifications and thus the event, or get the notification days earlier and have forgotten on the date. Last few I’ve added calendar reminders myself, but if there was a published calendar somewhere that’d be simpler.

 

[Flight Plan]

I don't care what ANYBODY says, and I don't care how bad it gets. My onscreen character is NOT doing a curtsey. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I'll climb a 10-storey building. I'll swim the English Channel. I'll camp out in the Tundra in January. I will even listen to the chipmunks Christmas songs! But there are some things neither I (nor my knees) will do.

Okay, I'm not swimming the English Channel either. I won't do any sport that has no bathroom breaks. Those people are nuts! Nuts in a good way, but still nuts!
