20 JULY 2022 - It’s one of the biggest Apple Watch activity challenges on the planet, and you probably can’t participate. 9 to 5 Mac has word of the “National Fitness Day” challenge, marking the day of activity in China.

Yes, it’s a huge region with about one-seventh of the planet’s population. Still probably regional, though it’s not been officially announced by Apple. Based on the regional assumption, 9 to 5 Mac says, “Apple Watch users in China can unlock a special Activity award by completing at least 20 minutes of exercise on August 8.”

As usual, folks can hit their goals either by using one of the built-in activities on Apple Watch, or through a third-party app that shares info with Apple Health. Also as usual, participants get a cool virtual-medallion to mark the achievement, as well as animated stickers to be stuck in iMessage and FaceTime.
