When I changed the region, the watch reset. But then I did do a hard reset, still no badge. No biggie.

Sorry, I meant the phone, maybe you tried that too. Anyways, you have the run registered, so you should get it once Apple fixes the issue. This made us all move today, at least me :)

Cheers.
 
Because if I use anything other than "other" I don't get credit for my exercise. Even if I do 3mph at a 7 deg incline I still get 10 minutes of credit for an hour's worth of work.

That doesn't really make any sense. I've used indoor walk on a treadmill and it's always worked perfectly.

Is your heart rate not elevating at all?
 
OK, I couldn't wait any longer so I did a 3.15, or thereabouts, outdoor walk using the native activity app. That triggered the achievement. So I have the achievement now. I'm still disappointed that I didn't get it after running over 4 miles this morning using the Nike+ Run Club app.

This is all part of Nike's evil plan to get us all a little fitter. Pure evil!
 
Did a 5k run this morning with NRC. No badge although the mileage was shown. Did an unpairing and restore to see if that would work. No dice.

Edit: Went for a 5k walk with the workout app and got the badge right after it ended.

I finally got it. Went for a walk after dinner and used Outdoor Walk on the Workout app. I did 3.3 miles, and it took me a little over an hour. Maybe next year I'd manage it faster. ;)
 
Didn't get a chance to get out today. Think I can use the top travel feature to get the badge?

I just went ahead and walked a 5k on the treadmill using the workout app. My 4 mile run this morning on NRC didn't take and all sorts of rebooting didn't work either.

Damn them for making me healthier

So I realized tonight I got the Thanksgiving badge notification. Even though I reset and updated my watch in the morning. Of course it was too late to for me to go outside and power walk. So I tried to do an indoor workout before 12am. I missed the quota by .10 mile.

I'm seriously pissed!!

I would've ran outside for 2 mins. That should cover that
 
reading it now it says you have to use the workout app so it records it. no NRC no anything else. sucks because i did 5 miles today. owell
 
Badge doesn't even show up anymore, so if they changed the requirements i can't see it. Reached out to Apple Support on twitter and they were pretty unhelpful. Couldn't go for 5k run at 10:30pm to get the badge.
 
Ran 3.15 miles with Nike app. Didn't get the badge. Tried restarting all devices after closing all apps. Just tried unpairing and repairing. Nope. Not working. Kind of mad.

The workout appears in every single app, so no idea what's wrong. Did it yesterday, btw, obviously.
 
It looks to me like using third party apps does not work, despite the description saying otherwise.

It's terrible. When you're in the Health game you have to be reliable.

The first party activity app seems to work.

Only after unpairing, hard restart and repair did lots of us have any luck getting it using the native outdoor run.
