For Lunar New Year, Apple Watch owners can earn an award after doing any workout for at least 20 minutes. The challenge will need to be completed between between January 22 and February 5, and it will be available worldwide even though Lunar New Year is primarily celebrated in select countries. The 2023 Lunar New Year begins on Sunday, January 22 and lasts for 15 days.

It’s under Messages > Activity Tab.

The designs for some of these awards are one of the more underrated features of the watch. They really pop.

Hey MacRumors where do you get advance info on these activity challenges? They are not showing up in the Fitness app yet. Is Apple announcing them?
I've found that the designs of the actual badges usually show up here before anywhere else:

Dunno why, but that bunny face reminds me of a big shaking ass from someone that is bend forward. The eyes are the venus dimples and the whiskers dunno yet.

Thanks that's my pfp now but it doesn't animate.
