Apple Celebrates a Decade of Apple Watch with Global Close Your Rings Day

Apple celebrates 10 years of the Apple Watch with Global Close Your Rings Day on April 24. Users can earn awards by closing Activity rings, promoting health benefits. Insights from Apple's Heart and Movement Study highlight reduced stress and improved sleep for regular users.

Apple is marking the 10th anniversary of the Apple Watch with a special event called Global Close Your Rings Day on April 24. This initiative encourages Apple Watch users to close their Activity rings, which include Move, Exercise, and Stand, to earn a limited-edition award. Participants can also receive a special pin available at Apple stores worldwide, while supplies last. The Activity rings are designed to promote a healthy lifestyle by tracking active calories burned, brisk activity, and standing time.

The celebration is not just about awards and pins. Apple has shared compelling insights from its Apple Heart and Movement Study, conducted in collaboration with the American Heart Association and Brigham and Women's Hospital. The study, which includes data from over 140,000 participants, reveals that individuals who regularly close their Activity rings are significantly less likely to experience poor sleep quality, elevated resting heart rates, and heightened stress levels. These findings are consistent across genders and age groups, highlighting the health benefits of using the Apple Watch.

The Apple Watch Series 10, recognized as the best all-around Apple Watch by CNET, continues to be a popular choice among consumers. By participating in Global Close Your Rings Day, users not only celebrate a decade of innovation but also contribute to their well-being. As Apple continues to innovate, the Apple Watch remains a vital tool for promoting health and fitness, underscoring its impact over the past decade.
