Apple Watch Users Could Get Special Rewards On This Day: Check Out the Date, Rewards and More 

It’s been almost 10 years since the first-ever Apple Watch with Activity Rings was launched globally. To celebrate this 10th anniversary, Apple is introducing Global Close Your Rings Day on April 24th, encouraging users to stay active and earn special rewards. 

On this day, users who close all three Activity Rings will gain access to special rewards. The reward includes 10 animated stickers representing various exercises such as cycling, hiking, swimming, running, yoga, skating, and dancing, etc. along with an animated badge for the Messages app.

Eligible Devices 

These limited-edition awards will be available to users running watchOS 5.0 or later on their Apple Watch. The interesting part is that watchOS 5.0 is also compatible with the original Apple Watch, meaning even users with a decade-old device will also be eligible to earn these rewards.

Taking the celebration a step further, Apple is also offering exclusive pins to users who complete all three Activity Rings. These collectible pins can be picked up at Apple Store locations worldwide starting April 24th. Make sure to grab one from your near Apple store till the supplies last.

Activity and Health Research Insights From Apple

Apple also shared some insightful findings from the Apple Heart and Movement Study, which took inputs from more than 140,000 participants. The Apple Heart and Movement Study is conducted in collaboration with Brigham and Women’s Hospital, the American Heart Association, and Apple.

According to the data, participants who regularly closed their Activity Rings showed some notable health benefits. They were 48% less likely to experience poor sleep quality, and 73% less likely to have elevated resting heart rates which is a key indicator of cardiovascular fitness and overall heart health. Additionally, these individuals were 57% less likely to report high levels of stress, as measured by the Perceived Stress Scale-4 (PSS-4), a brief four-item questionnaire designed to assess perceived stress levels.

This shows that fitness should always be a part of a person’s lifestyle. Consistent movement and daily activity can have a powerful impact on overall well-being, proving that even small efforts each day can lead to long-term benefits.

If you’re planning to pick up an Apple Watch, here’s a quick reminder: Apple has two official retail stores in India. The first is located at Select CityWalk near Saket in New Delhi, and the second is in Mumbai at Jio World Drive, inside the Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC).

It’s worth mentioning that the Apple Watch Series 10 starts at ₹46,900 for the 42mm stainless steel variant with GPS. The more affordable Apple Watch SE, on the other hand, starts at ₹24,900 for the 40mm GPS variant.
