Apple Watch users invited to fitness challenge on China's National Fitness Day

Apple's Health ecosystem lets iPhone users collect data from Apple Watch, third‑party wearables and medical devices, view trends, customize the app layout and share selected information securely. The app supports integration with devices such as WHOOP, Oura Ring, Withings blood‑pressure monitors and smart scales, and allows users to add medical records from providers.

To mark China's 18th National Fitness Day on 8 August 2026, Apple launched a promotion for Apple Watch owners. Participants who record at least 20 minutes of activity—using the built‑in Workout app or any third‑party app that syncs to the Health app—receive a limited‑edition virtual medal and four dynamic iOS stickers. The challenge coincides with events organized by the Chinese National Sports Administration in Foshan, Guangdong and Hegang, Heilongjiang.
