Arleady have 80 minute of exercise and no badge :/
Today only, Apple Watch owners can complete a new Apple Watch activity challenge in celebration of Heart Month, which is aimed at promoting cardiovascular health.
The challenge, which is listed in the Fitness app on the iPhone, tasks users with earning 60 minutes on their Exercise ring.
Completing the challenge will award users with a unique badge viewable in both the Summary tab of the Fitness app on iPhone and the Awards section of the Activity app on Apple Watch.
Activity Challenges are often tied to special occasions or holidays throughout the year, including Earth Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day, and New Year's. Earlier in February, Apple kicked off a Unity challenge in celebration of black history, tasking users to close their Move rings seven times in a row during the month.

Usually I get a message letting me know of these contests. Got nothing for this one. Oh well, off to the gym. 20 minute walk there, 30 minute workout, 20 minute walk back. We'll see if it gives me some bling.
Wife and I went at it for about 1.5hrs today so we good .

63 minutes now and still waiting for my badge
I had to reboot both my iPhone and Watch in order for the badge to appear.
Soft resetting my Apple Watch didn't do much, I had to turn off my Watch for about 2-5 minutes and turn it back on again, then it showed up.
I'm not sure why I had to reboot both of them, but it did the trick for me.
I finished 60 minutes at 730AM Texas time, but no badge. I looked up several articles and even restarted my Watch, but nothing. Finally, around 10AM, the badge popped in from nowhere. I guess that patience *is* a virtue!
Yes, this challenge causes you to improve your activity and your patience.
I literally don't know anybody who does not take supplements. And the folks who are on far-from-vegan diets do take most supplements of all (especially the keto folks, who usually depend on drinking alcohol daily and need additional stimulants like coffee, nicotine, etc). But that's just the few thousand people I know, maybe it's not a representative batch.
If you mean B12 by saying "nutrients", maybe it would help ideologically to mix B12 into the water that is used to water the veggies. In this way B12 would be in veggies "naturally". This would be the equivalent of the common practice of adding it to animal feed (that's how B12 gets into 99% of meat nowadays).
Anyways, I was merely moaning that Apple does not advertise these specific diets (that reduce coronary artery disease) front and center, with a side-dish of exercise monitoring. Governments are not talking about it, big media for sure keeps silent too, and big corp seems to have no interest either... 😥
I walk 60-90 minutes and doing 150-200 push-up everyday..my YouTube channel is Ken88 ( with blue K ). I don’t need any badge on certain day to motivate me to do 60 minutes of exercise. the biggest reward I get is my health, which during coronavirus pandemic it’s the best and only reward I ever need. Stay safe everyone. Happy Valentine’s Day.
p.s, kind of shame so many “ sex “ jokes. Stay classy, my friends😊

Restart your Apple Watch, that worked for me (and others).
Did a 60 minute Orange Theory Fitness class this morning, got my badge approximately a half an hour later (although I had to go into the Fitness app on my phone for it to register).
No, it seems to be a fairly regular set of extra challenges. The Veterans Day is 11 minutes of excercise.
The funny thing is many of those who have had heart related conditions can’t realistically get this achievement. The people I know are generally restricted to a heart rate maximum and since the Apple Watch learns what it considers exertion it stops counting their walking and such as exercise because it thinks they aren’t exerting themselves.
