Earn Activity awards using your Apple Watch

To earn Activity awards, use the fitness apps on your Apple Watch to meet your goals. You might use the Activity app or Workout app.

When you earn an award, a notification appears on your Apple Watch. You can earn some awards multiple times. For example, you might earn a Perfect Week (Stand) more than once. 

To learn about each award, open the Activity app on your Apple Watch, swipe left to the Awards screen, then tap an award. You can also do this in the Activity app on your iPhone: tap the Awards tab, then tap an award. 

To see when you earned an award and why, tap the award. To see the back of the award, swipe left or right. 

Every so often, you can complete a special Activity challenge and earn a special award, like the Ring in the New Year Challenge. Before the challenge begins, you'll receive a notification from the Activity app on your Apple Watch about how to earn the special award. Every month, you can also complete a customized Monthly Challenge that's chosen just for you.

When available, you can view these special challenges in the Activity app on your Apple Watch or your iPhone. These challenges are only available for a limited time, and if you don't earn the award during the specified period, it will no longer be available.

You can also earn awards by participating in competitions with your friends. During the competition, you earn points based on the percentage of Activity rings you close. When the competition is complete, you can earn an award: Either an award for participation, or if you win, an award that's unique to your competition with this friend.
