The Apple Watch accompanies us daily and makes moving is more and more a challenge and an objective than an obligation. One of the causes of this fact is the closeness of watchOS with the user and the number of 'challenges' or interjections to the user. In fact, monthly there are a series of activity challenges that allow you to get prizes, medals and stickers to show off in some iOS apps. The arrival of the month of February brings with it these new challenges related to Lunar New Year which begins on February 1, the day on which the Black History Month. These two objectives are key in the new challenges of Apple's activity.

As we have commented, Apple Watch activity challenges they allow the user to get medals and stickers when they complete an objective. Apple makes a monthly personalized challenge available to the user. However, from time to time they launch global challenges to get trophies celebrating a key global event such as the New Year or World Natural Parks Day.
The month of February brings two new activity challenges For the users. The first of them aims to commemorate the Lunar New Year or Chinese New Year This year begins on February 1. In that challenge, Apple asks users to exercise for at least 20 minutes between February 1 and 15 to earn the badge and complete the challenge.
El another event to celebrate is the Black History Month, a celebration that occurs in some countries such as Canada, the United Kingdom or the United States in which some important events and people of the black race are commemorated. While in some countries like the Netherlands this month is October, in the United States Black History Month is celebrated in February. The objective of the challenge, in this case, is close the Motion ring (the Red) for 7 days in a row in the month of February.
These challenges have started to appear to some users but It is still unknown if they will be global challenges. This is because in Spain, for example, neither Lunar New Year nor Black History Month is celebrated. So it is likely that Apple has decided to limit these activity challenges to certain countries, as is the case with other global challenges throughout the year.
