yes, the "ring in the new year challenge" is a "limited edition challenge". There is a monthly challenge every months ... browse thru this forum for December, activity challenge, November etcIs this a different challenge from the 'ring in the new year challenge?' My watch just notified me of this one and the goal is a bit different from the one a couple of days ago. The New Year one was 7 times closing all three rings, and I got that notification on Dec 31. Certainly it didn't expire since it was literally one day before the New Year?
Either way the new notificaiton has upped the ante, to now closing all three rings 23 times.

Welcome to the Apple Watch![]()
It was an alert of an upcoming challenge that started 1/1/20. So you have to close all your rings for 7 days straight anytime during the month of Jan.How could it have expired then? I got the notification for the new year challenge literally one day before the new year, and it was to close all three rings for 7 days in a row! I didn't have 7 days!
open the Activity app on your phone, under Awards (bottom) you will find you January challenge under "Go for it" and the new year one under "limited edition", both will be gray'ed out, so you have 2 challenges at the same time ...How could it have expired then?

That’s bonkers
I usually briskly walk about 10 miles a day. So far, I have 470 minutes in 2 days. I need to average 194 minutes a day for the rest of the month.That’s bonkers
Wow. To think I was complaining about 745 calories a day. I am also in a winter climate. Hit 770 on the 1st, but only 648 yesterday. Not looking good.Mine is to burn 33,200 calories for January. It might be tough for me, 1,070 calories a day. Winter climate where I live.
Mine is to burn 1,310 a day. Me and the treadmill are going to be best friends.Wow. To think I was complaining about 745 calories a day. I am also in a winter climate. Hit 770 on the 1st, but only 648 yesterday. Not looking good.
If I had to burn most of mine on the treadmill...ugh. The thought is depressing. I have a treadmill, but I prefer not to use it. I do use my rowing machine now, but those are shorter secondary workouts. I don't mind the ~20 minutes/5000m so much. If I were rowing for 10 hours per week, I'd probably find that mind-numbing too.Mine is to burn 1,310 a day. Me and the treadmill are going to be best friends.
They are personalized based on your actual recent activity levels. Mine seem to reflect a slight increase over my prior three-month average.Are the goals actually based on your body type (BMI, weight, x burned in y days over time, age, gender, etc) or are they just simple challenges? I feel the 'smart' goal of '380' to burn every day is tough but I'm a tiny thin little man as it is. Any goals involving 1,000+ I will have to give up sleep.
Oh no doubt, but I love music and podcasts, so I’m plenty entertained lol.If I had to burn most of mine on the treadmill...ugh. The thought is depressing.

My wife had the full badge, but had also upgraded. I went ahead, installed 13.3 on my phone and 6.1.1 on my watch and the badge is complete. I also got the regular monthly badges and the additional awards for 1000, 1250, etc goals.Specifically, I am worried that Apple didn't code the appearances of the 2020 badges into iOS 12 (which I still use for jailbreak reasons), so... no more shiny monthly badges?? If so, this is a dick move towards iPhone 6 and 5S users, or people who uses iOS 12/WatchOS 5 for stability reasons.
Alaska definitely presents a whole different level of challenge when it comes to winter fitness than Ohio, especially southern Ohio, where we've had a mild winter so far!Winter Climate residents - UNITE!! We can do this!!!
I have the calorie goal this month, and mine calls for 27,800 which, at the beginning started at 897 per day. I have exceeded it on 3 of the first 4 days, and my current average needed has dropped to 874 per day.
We can do hard things!! Don’t just write it off cause you think it appears unachievable on the surface. Give it your best effort. Even if you don’t earn your award, you might still achieve positive healthy results by trying!!
PS - I’m a winter climate resident myself. Lived pretty much my whole life here in Alaska. Current temp as I write this is -9F at 6:08 pm. It hasn’t been above zero for 3 days and isn’t supposed to until Tuesday or Wednesday.
Given my watch's broken workout detection (having to start a walk manually after I've waited 13 minutes hoping it'd detect, and losing that first mile and having to walk three miles to get the two miles to record sucks) I bet it's going to make some impossible goal because I have to double my activity to get the data I want to record.
