Golden Week Badges not available for everyone?

I just checked and also did not get a badge with a Fenix 5s. It's pretty poor of Garmin.

True, they should give badges to everyone or clearly inform about limits.

Looks like they set some badges for ROW and some for APAC, so this can depend from where a watch is.

Thanks BunBun!.  I finally understand now.    For some reason, I was set to "Japan" in Garmin.com.  That explains why I got the Golden Week Badge and my other friends here did not.  I have no idea why I was set to "Japan".  Weird.  I just changed it back to the USA.

Is Gramin not a global organisation, and it doesn't matter where you are.

Like other countries, NZ is really multicultural we have people who celebrate the Cherry Blossom, Thanks Giving, Matariki (Maori New year), Chinese New Year, Thinking Day just to name a few.

I have Garmin friends from all over the world - it just seems very narrow-minded of Garmin.

True, very strange why garmin limit badges to regions. And what's worse, they hide those requirements. In badge description they don't inform what region you need.

Some events are quite global. For example I have in my country an event like Songkran at the same time, of course with translated name, but idea is quite the same. So, badges should be for everybody. No reason to limit that.

At least now we know how to manually change region, so we can get those missing badges.

Hello, I tried to do this, becaouse I have activities on all days, but it didn't helped, maby you must do this before activity to get the badge? or at that day?

After you change your region, you need to edit those activities slightly (change name/add description) and save. You should then be awarded the badge.
