The next Apple Watch Activity Challenge will take place in March in celebration of International Women's Day.

The challenge to unlock the virtual trophy consists of completing a workout of at least 20 minutes or more on International Women's Day in March. This can range from a 20-minute yoga session to a 20-minute run with the Workout app or any app that logs workouts in the Health app.

In addition to earning the special trophy, users will also receive exclusive stickers that can be used in Messages or the FaceTime app. The sticker collection includes:

  • A female gender symbol
  • Two women standing while waving
  • A women in a wheelchair waving
  • An animated 2021 sticker with purple and red colors

Apple hosts many Apple Watch Activity Challenges throughout the year. Just recently, the company celebrated Heart Month with the "Heart Month Challenge," which challenged Apple Watch owners to complete 60 minutes of exercise on Valentine's Day.

Apple Watch users should receive a notification alerting them of the International Women's Day Apple Watch Activity Challenge shortly before the event kicks off on March 8th.
