Apple Watch owners are being challenged to get some exercise on Valentine's Day, with an hour of effort rewarding them with the Heart Month Challenge badge for 2021.
Previously advised in an Apple Watch notification and also appearing in the Fitness app on iPhone, the limited edition Heart Month Challenge award basically boils down to how much exercise a user undertakes on Sunday. Apple marks American Heart Month every February, with most previous challenges involving Valentine's Day in some form.
For 2021, the award advises "Show your heart some love. Get this award by earning 60 minutes on your Exercise ring this Valentine's Day, 14 February."
Completing the award before midnight gains the 2021 iteration of the Heart Month Challenge award, which features both the green Exercise Ring and a heart symbol. Special stickers are also unlocked in Messages for those accomplishing the challenge.
This is not the only challenge that Apple Watch users can undertake in February. The Unity Challenge for Black History Month offers an award for anyone who closes their Move ring seven days in a row.

I have 60 min of exercise but have not been awarded the feb heart award Reaching out to Apple support.
I completed the 60 min exercise and have not received the award
Same here, completed over 60 minutes, no award....
Apple support said it could take up to 9 days to receive an award. Told them nicely that’s not true. Typically awards come immediately. He asked me to be patient.
