Apple Watch Series 5 — «Отсутствующая история активности» и ограниченные значки, а также ошибка в номинации «Всемирный день психического здоровья» 2026
Hello everyone,
I’m looking for help with two issues affecting my Apple Watch activity history and achievement badges.
1. Missing historical activity data and achievement badges
I purchased my Apple Watch Series 5 on December 18, 2019, and have been using the same watch ever since. Over the years, I earned many Activity achievements, including regular and Limited Edition badges.
At some point, a large part of my historical activity data and achievements disappeared from the Fitness app. The earliest activity record currently visible in Fitness is March 28, 2021, even though I had been using the watch since 2019.
I also believe that several Limited Edition badges from previous years are missing. Currently, I can only see two Limited Edition badges, from 2024 and 2026, although I remember earning more.
Some historical steps and workout data are still available in the Health app, but much of my older Fitness history and my achievement badges are missing.
I no longer have my old iPhone. I have reset my Apple Watch at some point in the past, but I am still using the same Series 5 watch. I have also restarted both my iPhone and Apple Watch while troubleshooting.
Has anyone experienced something similar? Is there any way to recover missing Activity history and Limited Edition badges, perhaps through iCloud or an old backup?
2. World Mental Health Day 2026 challenge not awarding the badge
Today, October 10, 2026, I tried to earn the World Mental Health Day Limited Edition award. The challenge requires 10 minutes of meditation or a workout recorded through Mindfulness or a compatible app that shares data with Apple Health.
I completed a 5-minute Breathe session and a 5-minute Reflect session in the Mindfulness app on my Apple Watch. However, the award was not granted.
The challenge progress behaves strangely: sometimes it shows 4 out of 10 minutes, then resets to 0 out of 10. Even after completing another five minutes, the progress sometimes remains at zero. The challenge and the Limited Edition badge also repeatedly disappear from the Fitness app and then reappear.
I have restarted both devices, but the issue persists.
Could this be a Fitness or Health data synchronization bug? Would recording one continuous 10-minute meditation through a third-party app that writes Mindful Minutes to Apple Health make any difference?
I would really appreciate advice from anyone who has experienced either issue or managed to recover missing badges.
These achievements represent several years of activity, and some of the Limited Edition badges may no longer be obtainable. I would love to recover them if possible.
Thank you!
