The challenge has been called the 'Heart Month Challenge' and it aims to promote cardiovascular health among its users. As part of the Apple Watch Heart Month challenge, Apple Watch owners have been tasked with earning 60 minutes on their Exercise ring, which displays how many minutes of brisk activity a user has completed.

For every user who completes the challenge, they shall be rewarded with an exclusive virtual badge from Apple that will show up in their iPhone's Activity app. It is accessed through the Summary tab of the app. It can also be viewed through the Awards section of the app on the smartwatch.

A number of users have been asking how to turn off Apple Watch or reset Apple Watch in an effort to fix the issue, but unfortunately, that wouldn't work. Also, it is worth noting that resetting your Apple Watch will only erase all your valuable data and content. If you are still looking to perform a reset, you can do so by following the 'Reset' option on your Apple Watch which can be accessed by following this path on your smartwatch Settings > General > Reset.  

To restart the Apple Watch, you simply need to press and hold the side buttons and Digital Crown for about 10 seconds, then release them once the Apple logo appears.
