Apple Watch Activity challenge marks 10 years of encouraging exercise as Apple Store to carry physical pin to celebrate

Apple has just announced a special new Apple Watch fitness challenge to mark 10 years of the product’s impact. Separately, there’s a special limited-edition pin that you can pick up at an Apple Store to celebrate a decade of closing Apple Watch rings.

Apple Watch challenge April 24 and limited-edition pin

Apple is celebrating 10 years of Apple Watch with a special fitness challenge.

It’s marked Thursday, April 24 as ‘Global Close Your Rings Day’ and will reward users who participate in the challenge with digital awards. Additionally, there’s also a limited-edition physical pin that anyone can take home while supplies last.

Here are the details:

On April 24, Apple Watch users are encouraged to do something they love, push themselves further, or try something new, and then share what they did using #CloseYourRings. Users who close all three Activity rings will earn a limited-edition award, plus 10 animated stickers and an animated badge for Messages.

To celebrate Global Close Your Rings Day, customers can obtain a special pin inspired by the award. Customers can pick up a pin at Apple Store locations worldwide starting April 24, while supplies last.

Apple regularly offers fitness challenges for Apple Watch users as a way to motivate healthy lifestyle choices, but I love that the company is doing something special for the product’s 10th anniversary.

There isn’t yet a photo of exactly what the special pin will look like. But per Apple’s announcement, it sounds like it will resemble the digital reward, which you can see below.

I know the virtual medal will motivate me to close all three rings on April 24, and I imagine the physical pin will bring awareness to even more users than the average Apple Watch challenge.
