Apple held Global Close Your Rings Day on April 24, 2025, to mark 10 years of Apple Watch Activity rings. Apple Watch users who closed their Move, Exercise, and Stand rings that day earned a digital award, 10 animated Messages stickers, and an animated Messages badge. Apple Stores also offered a separate commemorative pin while supplies lasted; its current availability is unconfirmed.
What was the Apple Watch 10th-anniversary challenge?
Apple announced Global Close Your Rings Day on April 14, 2025, inviting Apple Watch users to close all three Activity rings on April 24. Apple encouraged people to do something they enjoyed, push themselves, or try something new, and share their activity using #CloseYourRings.
The date marked 10 years since Apple Watch became available on April 24, 2015. Apple’s chief operating officer, Jeff Williams, said in the April 14, 2025 announcement: “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.”
How users earned the digital reward
