Typically these special badges are a 1 day type event (without needing the multi-day of the standard Month challenge) so what the hell are you doing that your battery is shot for a 20 minute exercise session? ?
I think it’s always the 7 day in a row type that get me, I’ve gotten some of the one day ones but it seems most the time it’s on the one day I forget to charge my watch!

Yea I think I’ve missed all the ones I’ve wanted, usually because one of the days my battery goes dead for awhile so it cuts short all my data.
Yes, it's even more frustrating when the reason is a depleted battery!
Hopefully upgrading this year (at the very least will get a new battery for my Series 6).

Yep, I missed this year's Unity Challenge because I was a handful of kcals short of closing my Move ring on one day when I'd already passed the point of there not being enough days left in the month to get 7 in a row! Frustrating.

Looking forward to adding this one to my collection. I find them motivating, and it's neat to build a digital collection of awards.
