Apple is holding its Close Your Rings day celebrations, when Apple Watch fans claim both physical and virtual freebies.
Over the past 10 years, Activity rings on Apple Watch have offered a simple, engaging, and customisable way for users to stay active throughout the day.
To highlight how staying active can lead to a healthier life, on April 24, all Apple Watch users are encouraged to close their Activity rings to earn a special Global Close Your Rings Day limited-edition award, along with animated stickers for Messages.
“Apple Watch has changed the way people think about, monitor, and engage with their fitness and health. A decade ago, we introduced Activity rings — and since then, Apple Watch has grown to offer an extensive set of features designed to empower every user,” said Jeff Williams, Apple’s chief operating officer.
“People write to us almost every day sharing how Apple Watch has made a difference in their life, from motivating them to move more throughout the day, to changing the trajectory of their health.”
To celebrate Global Close Your Rings Day, customers can obtain a special pin inspired by the award. Customers can pick up a pin at Apple Store locations worldwide starting April 24, while supplies last.
The design of the pin is based on the virtual award you unlock, seen at the top of this article, suggesting it will be a cross between a medal and the graphic representing Apple’s Activity rings.
The following stickers are available:
- Someone dancing
- A person cycling
- A swimmer
- A hiker
- A person racing in a wheelchair
- Someone in a yoga pose
- A runner (with a mohican haircut)
- A person doing crunches
- Someone throwing a frisbee
- A snowboarder
