Still glitchy for me. I have an XS Max and S3 watch and while the award on the phone is up to date, the awards don't show up on my daily history. For instance, it will show 200% and 400% but no 300% or move streak award in the daily history tab, even though they show in the awards tab.

I closed my monthly goal for January (80K+ calories burned) but the goal didn't show up on the day I earned it. I'm assuming it will show on January 31st or on January 1st after February begins. I feel like the award should show the date you earned it, rather than just something generic -- especially considering how hard some of us are having to work to earn them.

Here’s to hoping watchOS 5.2 or the next iOS update remedies the issue.
Amen, but on both issues. (As well as my S3 not tracking flights, even though my XS Max is now. (My 6 Plus was not -- since August -- but my new XS Max is showing flights now since August in the Health app, just not on the watch or in the Activity app on the phone.))

I'm guessing Apple knows all about these bugs -- they just have to prioritize what's most important, and since our watches and phones are working in general, these issues just aren't as important as other issues.

I just came from the Genius bar. I don't know how Apple addresses software issues -- or if they will ever be able to restore everyone's limited edition awards. I hope so, because I know now how hard everyone has worked for them. I would be pretty upset if I lost anything that I've worked hard for.

With that said, I do realize there are bigger issues at this time. Watching any news cycle puts things in perspective.
 
It’s literally problem after problem with the activity app and badges. First some limited edition ones went missing. They fixed that, but then badges were delayed 3-4 days. They fix that, and now all my limited edition are gone. I truly don’t understand why things keep breaking.
 
So I unpaired my Apple Watch a few days ago, and now I’ve been receiving some of the old notifications I used to receive.

Nothing seems two days behind as it usually is. I will check tomorrow to see if everything remains in working order.

Finally...!

So I had my Veterans Day Challenge disappeared a while back when I got a new iPhone and paired the Apple Watch 4 with that.
But today I was curious and changed the iPhone's and then the Watch's region to US, restarted both, and the missing Veterans Day Challenge came back.
It won't resolve the issue for the people set already on US region, but for the others it might.

ps. after this I changed the region back to Hungary and the badge is still there :)
 
So my special edition Watch achievments from 2019 are gone once again since I got my new iphone 11 Pro and restored from my XS backup with iTunes, I have an encrypted backup that should contain all that health data and achievements yet all my health data including activity rings from 2019 and prior years are all there except an entire year worth of special edition achievements and monthly challenge achievements.. What the..?

Crazy enough, I can’t access my awards tab and can’t see any of my achievements on my iPhone 11 Pro Max. To be fair it was like that on my iPhone X and started doing that in June, but I thought a new phone might fix it. Ugh. This is one bug that really irks me, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.

I didn’t have Health for iCloud turned on either, but I turned it on to see if it made a difference, alas it did not.
 
Yeah I indeed lost all my special edition achievments that I acquired in 2019 yet again in the upgrade process from my iPhone XS to the 11 Pro as I suspected from the beginning, Achievements were never restored through iCloud as some members here on the forum claimed they would. Apple you should be ashamed of yourselves.
