Some of these specialized challenges my watch will notify me, but mostly not. It would be nice to get a reminder the morning of.

If I had a National Park even remotely close to me, I'd do this.

And also a nice trophy case to view your friends achievements and favorite badges.

Apple continues to be bad at marketing all the cool things they actually have buried in their software :/

I really do enjoy these. Would be nice to have quirky ones every so often. "Hop, skip, and jump," if you do ten minutes of some exercise.
