Samsung has launched the second edition of its "Walk-a-thon India" fitness challenge, encouraging users to walk a total of 2 lakh steps between April 21 and May 20, 2025. Participants who meet the step goal will either have a chance to win a Galaxy Watch Ultra for free through a lucky draw or receive a 25% discount on its purchase. The challenge is available exclusively to Samsung Galaxy smartphone users with the Samsung Health app installed.
The event is conducted through the Samsung Health app, where users can register via the 'Together' tab. At the end of the month-long challenge, three lucky winners will be awarded the Galaxy Watch Ultra. The promotion aims to engage health-conscious users and promote Samsung's fitness-focused technology while offering rewards for completing the step goal.
