This month marks a significant milestone for Apple as it celebrates 10 years of its innovative Activity ring feature on the Apple Watch. In honor of this anniversary, Apple has unveiled a limited-edition 'Global Close Your Rings Day' award, inviting users around the world to participate in this special event.

Apple encourages users to engage in an activity they love, push their physical limits, or even venture into new fitness territory by completing a workout using their Apple Watch. To share their experiences, participants can use the hashtag #CloseYourRings on social media platforms, fostering a sense of community and motivation among users.

The original Apple Watch made its debut on April 24, 2015, and the Activity rings feature has been integral to its design and functionality since day one. This feature allows users to track their movement, exercise, and standing time throughout the day, ultimately promoting healthier lifestyles. In a press release issued today, Chief Operating Officer Jeff Williams emphasized the transformative impact the Apple Watch has had over the past decade on health and fitness. He stated, '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.'

Williams added that Apple frequently receives messages from users expressing how the Apple Watch has significantly improved their lives. Many share stories of how it has motivated them to become more active and even altered their health trajectories for the better.

To earn the exclusive digital award commemorating this event, users must complete their daily goals by closing all three Activity rings on April 24. In addition to the digital award, Apple will also release 10 animated stickers for its Messages app, allowing users to share their fitness journeys in a fun and engaging way.

Furthermore, customers who wish to take home a tangible reminder of this celebration can visit Apple Stores worldwide starting April 24 to obtain a special physical pin inspired by the award, available while supplies last. This initiative not only celebrates the milestone of the Activity rings but also reinforces Apples commitment to enhancing user health and fitness through technology.
