Wimpiest Challenge badge yet 
(of course Mother's Day was a BIG challenge too). How is 11 minutes of any Workout much of a challenge? Sort of like the everyone who finishes the race gets a 1st place medal. Is this years Thanksgiving going to be downgraded from a 5K to a 5M "Challenge"?

This morning, I got a notification that I got the award on my watch but when I now check it on my phone it is not on there yet. Maybe it will eventually show up. The workout mins and calories burned already synced up.
Now my watch is being charged in my hotel room. We will see.

Well, its because of the 11/11 theme of Veterans Day. 11km or 11miles would have been too much.

Your comment presumes everyone using the watch is young/healthy. I would imagine there are some users out there, not the majority, but some, for whom 11 minutes is a challenge, and a 5K is completely out of reach.
Yeah, but the regular goal starts at 30 minutes. I saw the goal, laughed, and earned it anyway.
in my activity app it says "record your time with the workout app or any app that adds workouts to health" so do i need to do anything on my aw when i go running tonight?
....and some people are extremely de-conditioned, some have extremely limited abilities and some can't workout at all. So to be 100% PC just automatically give the Challenge badge to everyone.
It's not much of a Challenge badge if it's not at least moderately challenging to many or most people.
Mother's Day was another example of a non challenging Challenge.

Yep, same with me. Walked for 1:30hr and nothing has been recorded. Used the workout app.I'm in the same boat - finished a workout and no badge
Come on Apple
When I look at my history for today, I got the award, but when I look at achievements it shows as not completed.
Turn off the iPhone and watch. Turn it back again and go for a 11 min. walk using the workout app and should appear.
