Apple Launches World Mental Health Day Challenge with a Limited-Edition Award
Earn a special limited-edition award this World Mental Health Day by completing a 10-minute mindfulness or meditation session with your Apple Watch.
Today, October 10th, 2025, is World Mental Health Day. On this day dedicated to raising global awareness of mental well-being, Apple has launched a new limited-edition Apple Watch challenge to encourage users to care for their inner selves through brief meditation and mindfulness exercises.
On October 10th, let's take some time to appreciate all the ways we can care for ourselves and each other. Record 10 minutes of mindfulness or meditation with any app that adds mindful minutes to Health to get this award.
This beautifully designed award is not only a memento of your achievement but can also be shared as an animated sticker in the Messages app to spread the message of self-care.
Note: If you don't see the limited-edition challenge in the Fitness app, try changing the region settings on your Apple Watch.
This initiative is part of Apple's ongoing commitment to integrating wellness into its ecosystem. As public awareness of mental health grows, technology has evolved from being a simple productivity tool into a powerful partner for personal health management. You can use the built-in Mindfulness app on your Apple Watch for daily moments of mental calm and use the Health app to track the time and effort you invest in your mental well-being.
On this special day, Apple is sending a warm signal to millions of users worldwide with a small award: caring for your mental health is just as important as physical fitness. So today, why not put on your Apple Watch, spend 10 minutes, and have a quiet conversation with your inner self.
