Apple's Ring in the New Year Activity Challenge: What you need to know!

Ring in the New Year with Apple's brand new Activity Challenge for Watch!

Apple's "Ring in the New Year Challenge" is coming to encourage us all to get off our holiday-fed butts and kick off 2017 by filling all our rings in a fit and healthy way. Do it every day, and you'll get a brand new achievement to go with the New Year. Do it every week, and you'll get all four!

When does the challenge begin?

You'll get a notification on Wednesday, December 28 when you put your watch on. That's local time. Hi Australia!

Monday January 2, 2017 is the official start date, though.

What's the special achievement?

A "Ring in the New Year" badge and sticker pack. The badge will be proudly displayed in the Activity app on your iPhone. The stickers you can send to all your friends via iMessage.

And you can get it up to four times?

Indeed! Every week you close out all your activity rings, you'll get the achievement. Do it every week in January, and you'll get all four.

Any questions?

The Thanksgiving achievement — walk or run 5K — was a lot of fun. This one should be as well. If you have any questions, drop them in the comments!
