I've got an Apple Watch, but I must say I hardly even notice these events or challenges. Do people actually pay attention to them?
Yes, there is a good number of people (like myself) who use their watches as workout motivators. Challenges and events are a little extra motivation.

Nope, not seeing it.

It does show up on my watch though.
That's strange - hopefully you'll still get the Award once you have achieved the challenge - good luck.

Did anyone receive a notification about this challenge on their watch or phone? I didn't.
