New October Challenge

I got the October badge for closing all my activity rings 16 times in October. The only problem, I absolutely did not earn it. I was nursing a broken ankle the first 3 weeks. I was shocked to see it this morning. I just realized that what it did was give me credit for the 16 times I closed my Move Ring instead.

I beat what October ask by a few miles and never got the badge, it’s gone now and the November challenge is completely impossible so I’m not even looking at it, wish we could delete it off the screen.

I am so with you on that! My October challenge was 328.1 km (203.87 miles). I managed to beat it on October 31, with some effort, and the badge did not change, then it disappeared.

November challenge is 21,911 callories… so screw that.

There's something wrong with my achievements recently.

I didn't get the regular October badge for hitting the Move target every day, even though I haven't missed a day since December.

I didn't get the special October badge because the requirements were too hard for me (something like 8 miles a day), so no loss there.

Also, I haven't gotten the 365 day Move badge, even though I'm at 366 at the moment.

What gives?

My October challenge was to achieve 19668 kcal in October. With two hours to go the October challenge said I was at 19678. One hour later the badge disappeared.

My November challenge is to average 61 minutes of exercise a day. The badge says I'm currently averaging 1622 minutes (27 hours) a day so it will be a piece of cake..

I'd say something is broken.

Dang only 27 hours a day! Ur a busy guy! My challenge was to go 215.1 miles, early on I did a 34 mile bike ride and that didn’t even count. I usually run 120-130 miles a month so I really picked that up and got in 217.1 then watched as the challenge disappeared. My Wife got her badge, some kind of crazy calorie goal that she never met but got the badge a few days early, somehow.

Mine didn’t show up either. I rebooted the watch and all of a sudden my challenge appeared. Give it a try and it may work for you.

My November challenge is 64 minutes of exercise per day!

I’ve tried rebooting but still no sign of it.
 
I never received a notification regarding these new personalized badges you could earn. By the time I saw this thread with about two weeks to go in the month, there was no way I could achieve it as it required me to close my move ring every single day in the month of October and I had already missed a couple. Now, for November, I have two personalized goals to achieve. I believe they are both doable. The first one is again to close my move goal every single day and the second one is to average 804 cal per day. I’m going to get them both.

My October challenge was 54 minutes a day. My average before that was around 35-40 minutes a day, so that was a huge stretch (IMO). I ended the month with 64 minutes.

November Challenge is to go 143.2 mi this month. That's 10% more than I did last month, so that seems easy compared to October!

My October challenge was 237 miles!

I run so I was able to get it. :)
 
I earned one in August and one in October but my goal for this month is 108 miles. Considering all of my activity is comprised of lifting I don't see this one happening.

I think I figured out why I didn't get credit for my Move Streak in October. My Move goal is 700 kcal/day. I decided to restore my iPhone last Sunday morning and it caused my AW to repair to the newly installed iOS. OK, so I ended up with 750 on my Move for the day.

The only problem is that I had 75 kcal before I restored the iPhone, and 675 after. I think, even though, I broke 700 for the day and the Activity app on the iPhone shows 750, the achievements see 675, so I lost the streak (which was at 308 straight days) for October.

I'm hoping that it'll fix itself, but who knows.

For those of you that actively wear 2 different AW's, do you get acheivements if neither watch got the move goal individually?

Still no sign of my missing October challenge but now my November on is broken too. I have in fact burned about 1,600 calories so far; no idea where it’s got 25,540 from!
[doublepost=1509659557][/doublepost]Oh, unless it’s counting the October calories it didn’t give me a badge for; that’s possible.

My October challenge was met (10/31 - 8PM), but it wasn't giving me the medal. I intentionally jumped my activity app to midnight of the next day (11/1), waited about 20 minutes and it gave me the medal. Then I went back to current time (10/31-8:20~PM).
 
I met mine on the 31st of October and it got rid of the badge before a warding it to me. I do think it’s now added October’s calories to November’s running total though; no badge as yet but if that can take a day, maybe I’ll get it tomorrow. I’d rather have the one I actually earned though.

This same sort of thing is happening for me. Just got 21000 calories from nowhere for November...

Edit: Nope, just checked back in and it’s gone back to what I have in fact earned.

But I still don’t have the October goal I worked for. Bum.
 
My challenge was to average 149 exercise minutes a day. Earned it on 11/2/17. Granted the first two days were heavy workout days that did meet that average. But no way was I going to maintain the pace for a full, travel intense month. Bug. But a happy one!

Mine’s still got my October calories bundled into November but no award for either month. Boo!

I was able to fudge my data to get the achievement badges that I hadn't gotten. Just to recap, I lost out on the regular October Move badge as well as the 365Move badge. I had legitimately earned them, but due to restoring my phone on Sunday, I lost out.

So here's what I did.

1. I set the date and time to 10/29, 10:30PM. I chose this time because I was already in bed at that time on Sunday, so I shouldn't have had any data already posted to it.

2. Went for a little walk in order to get an extra 25 kcal on the Move/Active Energy. I felt that 25 was the right target because I had 675 on my watch post restore. I had 82 on the watch pre-restore. I theorized that the 675 didn't trigger the acheivement, which is set at 700.

3. It didn't work ... in fact, it made it worse. I didn't get either badges, plus I lost the rings for 10/30 and 10/31.

4. At this point, I was ready to give up on the badges, but my mild OCD was going crazy looking at the two days of blank rings. All of the data was still on the phone, but the rings were blank.

5. So what I did was change the date to 10/30 and reloaded the Activity app and the rings for 10/30 reappeared. At this point, I got the badges I was due.

6. I then set the date to 10/31 to get the 10/31 rings to reappear.

7. Lastly, 11/1 and 11/2 and 11/3 disappeared too, but by this time, I figured that setting the dates again would fix it. And it did.

So now, I have all of my rings, plus the badges.

I hope I won't have to do this again at the end of this month. Dang.

Moral of the story is to do restores and reinstalls either at the beginning or end of a day.
