Anyone else’s Earth Day award not come through? I’ve done two workouts totalling 31 minutes and nothing. I know this happened last time with a limited edition award, and restarting both devices sorted it. Nothing this time.
Got a tip for us?

I'm pretty sure it has to be one workout of 30+ minutes, not multiple shorter workouts.
That's what it says, yes. I received my award earlier today, after completing my weight training
To be absolutely fair it doesn’t say it has to be a single workout at all -
If you work out for 20 minutes at one thing, and 10 minutes at another, how many minutes have you worked out for? I’d call that 30 minutes.
I feel ridiculously aggrieved at missing out on this one simply because I managed my daily 5K in 28 minutes and stopped the clock there. Like most people I don’t have time in the day to work out for a whole other 30 minutes now, and there seems to be no way of making up just the other two. Disappointed 😞

Going to head out and do an hour run to take care of this challenge 🏃♂️
German, but that roughly translates to „…because you finished a workout of at least 30 minutes“. So I guess the English version should be a bit more specific to avoid confusion.

That’s exactly what I did. Two work outs of 20 and 10 minutes. I went out for another walk this afternoon totalling about 37 minutes and the award popped up just as the guys above said it would.
I do think they could’ve worded it slightly better I have to say.
Apparently my 49 minute walk didn't qualify. Chalk up another tally mark on the "why I'm done giving Apple my money" board.
When we had the last limited edition award, I did a qualifying workout and it didn’t pop for me. But when I restarted both the phone and the watch it did come up. Don’t suppose you’ve tried that?
I worked out for 50 minutes yesterday. A 25 minute run and a 20 minute strength training....No award. Though I suppose I will try restarting my watch and my phone. Thanks for the tip
As already noted above, you have to do a single workout of 30 minutes or more. And the day has passed anyway so you will have missed out now won’t you?
Apple software at its best eh? They seem to go out of their way to make it more unreliable with every iteration!
