If you\u2019re a committed collector of Apple Watch badges, then you\u2019ll know that there\u2019s always a special award available on Earth Day, which you can only earn on the day itself.<\/p>\n

Earth Day falls on Wednesday, 22 April this year, so if you want to get hold of the limited edition badge, you need to get moving today, or you\u2019ll miss out.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The first Earth Day badge was made available in 2017, so if you\u2019ve been diligently collecting them each year since then, you definitely don\u2019t want to miss out on 2026\u2019s award.<\/p>\n

My own record with the badge is disappointingly spotty \u2014 I\u2019ve earned 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022 and 2023\u2019s badges, but missed out on the others.<\/p>\n

Earning the Earth Day badge is simple \u2014 you just have to get active for 30 minutes on the day and record it with your Apple Watch.<\/p>\n

You can do this either in the native Workout app or using any app that syncs the workout over to Apple Health \u2014 my favorite Apple Watch running app is WorkOutDoors, for example.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve recorded the workout, you\u2019ll be rewarded with the Earth Day 2026 badge in the Fitness app, and you\u2019ll also receive some special edition stickers to use in the iMessage app.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t see the badge and stickers after completing your workout, make sure you synced the info with your iPhone, then try restarting your watch and phone.<\/p>\n

Seven days after you get active on Earth Day, you have the chance to earn another limited edition Apple Watch badge, and this time you\u2019ll have to dance to get it.<\/p>\n

You can earn the International Dance Day 2026 award by recording a dance workout with your Apple Watch.<\/p>\n

The workout must be 20 minutes long and can be recorded with any app that syncs with Apple Health. Just make sure you record it all in one workout \u2013 you can pause and resume, but don\u2019t end the session before 20 minutes is up.<\/p>\n
