Apple Watch owners in the U.S. can get a special Activity Challenge on Thanksgiving. To obtain the reward, a user must run or walk 5K (3.1 miles) on November 24 using Apple’s Workout app or any third-party app that integrates workouts within HealthKit.
If achieved, users will receive an Achievement medal within the iPhone Activity app, and a special iMessage sticker that users could send to their friends.
Contextual achievements are brand new to watchOS, while achievements have been a staple on the Apple Watch for a while.
So far, it seems as though this achievement is only available for those in the United States, which would make sense as not all countries in the world celebrate Thanksgiving. Although, it’s unclear whether or not Apple will create a separate challenge for the rest of the world to motivate them to do something and earn a special medal and iMessage sticker.
Thanksgiving Day Challenge
Earn this special achievement on Thanksgiving Day, November 24th when you complete a walk, run or wheelchair workout of at least 5K (3.1 mi) in the Apple Watch Workout app, or any app that records these workouts into the iPhone Health app. You’ll also earn a special Messages app sticker!
