I don't think I will ever complete the December challenge.. during the holidays I don't do much exercise. 
Got a tip for us?

I always end up having to take a bunch of days off of work--because we can't carry over vacation days--so I usually find it easier to get in longer runs around the holidays. It's only on Christmas Day that it's hard to find time to squeeze in a run. (We have 3 separate family events on Christmas: early morning, late morning, and dinner time.)
I'm at 20/27 days for my Move ring challenge with 10 days to go.

One more stand ring closed and I'll have completed my challenge. Not that it's as much a challenge as you all have had. Only tough part of closing my stand ring is my Series 5 having a faulty accelerometer/gyro and I often have to smack my watch to get the credit to register--merely standing up for a minute-5 minutes isn't making it happen. Faulty watch; now it rattles as I move!
Finally done it
hoping next month is an easy one as I’m on holiday for 2.5 weeks but one week is spent travelling around Sri Lanka in a car etc so won’t have much opportunity to move about

I just started using the Apple Watch in the middle of November so I got an easy one that was completed two weeks into December.

That's what I originally thought as my challenge is mileage based. I only need 3.75 per day to make it, so I'm sure I can achieve it.I don't think I will ever complete the December challenge.. during the holidays I don't do much exercise.
For myself the ability to do any amount of exercise is severely limited during Winter as the only real place I can walk to do an outdoor walk/run is outdoors. It can get as low as singe digits come January.
I had a challenge to close all 3 of my rings 29 times in the month.
I missed one day, then on Christmas day after closing all rings it was still stuck at 23 out of 24.. boxing day and the same thing happened so the challenge failed.
My first failed monthly challenge in over a year

Should hit my December goal of 153.3 miles tomorrow. My 2019 new year's resolution was to get all 12 monthly goals. Tomorrow I'll get 12/12. Very happy!
YO ADRIAN!! I DID IT!
Got these bad boys about 24 hours ago as I stepped off the elliptical from my nightly workout.
Mine chimed in the middle of my rowing workout this afternoon.
The Start-the-new-year-off-right Challenge (or whatever it's called in English) showed up today too. It requires closing all three rings 7 days in a row sometime in January. I have it for 2017 and 2018, but not for 2019, even though I had a perfect month in January this year. Did they not offer the challenge in 2019?

Same January goal for me as well. Another easy one too.
No they didn’t, Apple was having issues with the Challenges this time last year.

It’s a one-time Challenge. Your monthly January challenge will be different.
I got my December Challenge completed on Saturday. Burned over 33,000 calories in December, didn't think I'd make it due to work/school. Then work got slow, and school finished, I became a gym rat. I couldnt help but laugh as the award popped up at the intermission when I was at the matinee showing of the live action play, Lion King, which I highly recommend people go see!
27 minutes from 2,900 exercise minutes for December. I should get that easily today.
Since my more recent challenges seemed like they were designed to kill me, I decided not to check December's until the end of the month. Turns out that I actually got one that was doable
Just hit 96 miles to clear my challenge. Going for a nice even 100 to finish the year.
