Apple wants you to start 2025 off strong with new Apple Watch Activity Challenge

Apple is ready to help get 2025 off to a strong start. A new Apple Watch activity challenge launched in January, encouraging you to “ring in the new year” by closing all three rings for seven days in a row.

The “New Year Challenge” will be held from January 7th to January 31st.

Taking on the New Year’s Challenge: Let’s start 2025 on the right foot. This award is earned by closing all three rings for 7 consecutive days in January.

The Apple Watch Activity Challenge is designed to promote the use of the watch for fitness and as a way for Apple to guide users to take advantage of exercise tracking features. Apple has held this New Year’s Challenge every year since 2016.

If you successfully complete the challenge using any workout app that logs data to the Apple Fitness app, you’ll unlock virtual achievements on your iPhone, Apple Watch, and Apple Messages app. You can also access exclusive stickers that can be used in messaging apps, FaceTime, and more.

You can also complete challenges using Apple Fitness+, Apple’s own workout service that offers content in a variety of different categories.
