Apple Watch's Latest Activity Challenge Starts Tomorrow, Earn a 'Heart Month' Award and iMessage Stickers

February is Heart Month, aimed at promoting cardiovascular health, and Apple is taking part with a new Activity Challenge that tasks Apple Watch users with closing their Exercise ring in the Activity app for seven consecutive days. The challenge kicks off tomorrow, February 8, and runs through February 14.

I've got an Apple Watch, but I must say I hardly even notice these events or challenges. Do people actually pay attention to them?

Nope, not seeing it.

It does show up on my watch though.
That's strange - hopefully you'll still get the Award once you have achieved the challenge - good luck.
