Badges - No connections have earned this?

Dinglebert
over 4 years ago

I have no doubt this has been asked a lot of times but I just can't find the answer.

I seem to make zero progress with some of the badges while at the same time make progress with others.

Two examples

2021 Walking - Stage 2.   This informs me that I have done zero miles while at the same time being on my way to earning the badge.  However equally it states  No connections have earning this.

April Weekend walking - Again no connections have earned this.

My steps are being counted.as per normal, (although 8000 difference yesterday between apple health and garmin.  Probably because my watch hand was on golf trolley.

I presume I'm missing something simple.

    This challenge is 3 months long so it is unlikely that many have walked it all already.

    As soon as you join a challenge the text changes to "You're on your way to earning this badge." even if you haven't logged anything.

    Note that you must record it as "Walking" not "Hiking" and you must log an activity with a Garmin device for it to count.

    Maybe your connections don't join these challenges. You must join it and walk 3 miles/4.83 km April 23-25. It is unlikely that you accidently will do all that. I got 35 connections with the badge.

    Steps got nothing to do with these challenges. You must start a "Walk" activity on you Garmin device, save and upload to Garmin Connect.

    Thanks for prompt response.   Get it now.   Bit annoying that I only read the answer after I had an 8 mile walk this afternoon!   Too late to count as I take it I can't make anything retrospective.   The Walking stage 2 I would have done as I've completed 128 miles past four weeks

    There is a trick that can be used and that is to report a 1 second activity and then edit it with the correct values. Date, time, distance etc. That usually works.

    Thanks for that.  Have put todays in.   Will not go back over past four weeks.   Will reach the 91 miles for now to end of June.
