iOS 18.2 Introduces 'All Rings Closed' Activity Awards for Apple Watch

[MacRumors]

As spotted by Mohammad Aldarawish and others, the upcoming iOS 18.2 and watchOS 11.2 updates add new "All Rings Closed" activity awards for the Apple Watch.

Apple Watch users can earn these awards for closing all three Move, Exercise, and Stand/Roll rings for 100 days, 365 days, 500 days, and 1,000 days, and at every 250-day interval above 1,000 days. One person showed off an impressive 3,250-day award, and tomorrow will be the 3,500-day mark since the Apple Watch launched in 2015, so anyone with a perfect track record of closing their rings should unlock that one very shortly.

The awards are applied retroactively as necessary, with past dates of completion shown in the Awards section of the Fitness app on the iPhone.

iOS 18.2 and watchOS 11.2 are currently in beta testing. The software updates are expected to be released to the public in early December.

Guess I'll nave to get off my ass...

So this in addition to the move streak? And retroactive? More badges I suppose…
I wish Apple would stop making this 250 day increment and rather go to something more meaningul, like year, 1/2 year or month. Who knows what 1750 days are??

I stand at my desk, or use a bar stool, so I rarely close the stand ring. I'm a perfectionist, so I simply don't look at them. I track my frequent workouts, but never look at them, just figure the workout data might be useful someday.

I'd like Apple to add awards for most consecutive days you closed your rings, which is far more impressive.

I just wish they'd fix my 'Longest Move Streak' bug; bounces around between correct at about 2000+ days and between either 400 or 1000 or so. Interesting to see if 18.2 fixes my bug along side this particular feature.

There is a “longest move streak” already

 

[surfzen21]

And yet Apple still hasn't done anything about my request to add a, "cookie eating streak" badge. 🍪

Unfortunately there isn't an all-rings streak which would be cool.

Yup, definitely some bug
Look at mine: I’m at 3231 days for my 3250 goal, so you’d think that my longest move streak would be equal or less, right, yet it shows 3238 days and looking at that actual badge says it ended on Nov 17 and is now 33 days… and my activity clearly shows it did not ent on 11/17…
But sure, add some more badges to convolute this mess

Since rings can be paused now, maybe not as impressive? Besides, most of us miss days for one reason or another, sometimes just a day not wearing the watch. Activity awards should encourage us but not drive us crazy or feel unobtainable.

I wish Apple would fix the bugs in the longest move streak. Mine says 2 days but I know it’s unbroken for about two years

 

[jonnysods]

1230 times (not in a row). I love how the AW has made me more active, getting those rings closed just seems to gel with me and tricks me into an excercise regimen.

 

[Flying Grayson]

Apple should legit add incentives to completing the rings. Like money off some products.

Then observe:
a. Apple Watch sales sore! And
b. International obesity figures plummet!

Consumerism could be the cause of, and solution to, obesity 😂😅

Yeah I have an exercise record of 1429 minutes.

 

[joshuaiz]

Streaks are impressive but really it shows you were able to keep your Apple Watched charged as much as closing your rings.

 

[match14]

Will this come to users with iOS 18 but watchOS 10?

 

[xDKP]

These medals are pretty cool - Would love them to focus a bit more on the gold medals and not just the endless amount of silver medals.

Like how about a "Fastest 5K this year!" or maybe even cooler "Best 10K since 2022!" and not just the silver medals for running the distance and gold for records

 

[Macmamamac]

but still no perfect month or week for all rings closed award?

 

[katanna]

This is great! I have closed all three of my rings every day since I have gotten my Apple Watch (2,251 days and counting), but there isn't one central place to show this off. Glad to see others have longs streaks like me!

 

[LIVEFRMNYC]

Stand time has always been is highly inaccurate for me.

 

[CEmajr]

but still no perfect month or week for all rings closed award?

I believe there's a "Perfect Week - All Activity" award that requires all 3 rings to be closed Monday-Sunday

 

[B4U]

I am not confident that would work right when looking at the longest moving streak constantly bugging out.
Every single bloody time there is an iOS or WatchOS update and every once in a while.
It is just pure frustration that Apple cannot even add 1 to the counter of the last completed number.

 

[Baseiseough]

I don’t understand the 500 days gap between 500 and a 1000. It’s the same with the currently available move ring trophy. 500 days is more than a year and that is if you do not skip a single day. There should be a 750 days award.

It could be a free workout music playlist for those not subscribed to Apple Music or limited time (a week or a month) sub to Fitness+!
