In celebration of International Women’s Day on March 8, the Cupertino tech giant will introduce a new Apple Watch activity challenge as an opportunity for users to close their apple watch activity rings and earn custom badges and stickers.
Apple Watch activity challenges are designed to promote fitness and social awareness on a variety of international and national days celebrating festivals, events, causes, and other holidays throughout the year.
Last year, the company launched Apple Watch activity challenges for National Parks, International Day of Yoga, Lunar New Year and Unity, Heart Month, and Earth Day.
A 20 minutes workout will earn an Apple Watch Activity Challenge for the International Women’s Day award
The first Apple Watch activity challenges for 2023 kick off with International Women’s Day. On March 8, Apple Watch users can earn a custom badge and animated stickers to share in messages and FaceTime by completing any 20-minute workout.
On March 8, show your support for the empowerment of women everywhere. Do any workout for 20 minutes or more to earn this award. Record your time with the Workout app or any app that adds workouts to Health.
The new Apple Watch Activity Challenge goal will appear in the notifications of Apple Watch ahead of the event on March 8 to record a workout in the Fitness app and get a pink and purple 2023 badge, and inclusive stickers of a pregnant woman working out, and women with different skin tones waving.
International Women’s Day is a global holiday celebrated every year on March 8 as part of bringing attention to the women’s rights movement to bring attention to issues like violence and abuse, the right to education, gender equality, reproductive rights, and gender equity. The United Nations explains:
International days and weeks are occasions to educate the public on issues of concern, to mobilize political will and resources to address global problems, and to celebrate and reinforce achievements of humanity. The existence of international days predates the establishment of the United Nations, but the UN has embraced them as a powerful advocacy tool. We also mark other UN observances.
