The next Apple Watch fitness challenge is set for Veterans Day on Tuesday, November 11th, 2025. Apple Watch Challenges increase awareness about fitness features and healthy habits while observing holidays and other notable occasions.
In exchange for completing a workout challenge, participants earn virtual achievements in the Fitness app on the iPhone as well as special animated sticker packs for iMessage and FaceTime.
The fitness challenge for the next Apple Watch Activity Challenge is the same as previous years: Earn this award on November 11 by doing any workout for 11 minutes or more. Record your time with the Workout app or any app that adds workouts to Health.
Veterans Day was established to honor Americans who have served in the military.
Apple Watch fitness challenges work with Apple’s Workout and any other apps on Apple Watch that track workouts and log the data in the Fitness/Health apps on the iPhone. Apple Watch users will be officially notified a few days before the challenge begins.
