Apple Watch users thrive to stay active, which is one of the biggest reasons to even get the premium wearable. Although, with the right settings, Apple Watch can prompt users to stand up if you're sitting for too long and hit those preset targets by completing the rings, what gets you really moving is if you are challenged to get moving. Now, Apple Watch users can participate in the new "Get Active India" challenge - courtesy of Apple Authorised Resellers.

Apple Watch users can participate in the challenge from their respective cities and earn points to make their city emerge victorious. The challenge started on Monday and runs through March 14. Apple Watch users from Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Pune, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Chandigarh, Lucknow, and the rest of India can participate and get fit.

As the burden of atrial fibrillation (AFib) in India makes it an important health issue, Cupertino-based iPhone maker on Thursday brought its much-anticipated ECG app and irregular rhythm notification feature to Apple Watch users to India.
