Special New Year Apple Watch badge expected next week


Looks like Apple is planning a special fitness badge for the New Year.

The Ring in the New Year Challenge awards the Apple Watch a digital badge on their Apple Watch for closing all three activity rings each day for any full week in January.

There are four badges to be earned in the month, and those who tick off the exercise challenge can brag about their achievement by sharing it with special stickers in the Messages app on their iPhone.

This would follow the special Thanksgiving Day 5K badge and sticker that required 5K exercise session. This sort of spices things up a bit. Apple issues badges/rewards for completing move, stand, and exercise streaks weekly and monthly.
