I’ve been an AW user for years now and wear it daily. I only use it to track runs, walks, hike, strength, and to keep up to date with any notifications. I don’t use it to reply to texts or calls, and I don’t wear for sleep tracking (I tried it once but only had about 3 hrs sleep but it told me I’d had 8.. so never bothered since).

I love how the AW it integrates with my phone and think the system is so slick compared to what I’ve seen of Garmin. I get Garmin is a sports watch’s and Apple is a smart watch, but really I only use my AW as a fitness tracker mainly anyway.

The battery is the problem for me. I charge it overnight which isn’t an issue but if I do a few workouts in the day the battery is almost gone.

I’m thinking of getting a cheaper forerunner to wear for runs or other workouts and then thinking I could just wear my AW for the rest of the day… does anyone else do this?
I know the benefits of wear the watch all day and night to track body battery etc, but I’m not fussed on those stats. I just want the stats from my workouts which I feel Apple covers fine anyway

Can anyone let me know of any decent stability shoes to wear for race day. Looking for something not so “chunky” and a wider toe box if possible

Worked consultancy side for the past 4 years. It’s been up and down in terms of being on project or waiting for work. Been on a project for the last 8 months and honestly I’ve done hardly any QS
/commercial work. I’m basically doing an admin job or data entry/data checks. I’ve had so much free time.
My issue is that I look back and I’ve not developed at all in this time. The time of my cv means nothing. It’s also affecting my confidence now as I’m loosing touch with what a QS role should be. Don’t get me wrong down time is nice to an extent but in the role I’m in currently, I wouldn’t even class myself as a QS.
I don’t think consultancy work is right for me, the constant changing, the stop start nature being on a project and then waiting for something to start. My question is how do others find consultancy? Anyone been in the same boat? I feel like I could do so much better and become a good QS but where I am currently I feel like I’m wasting my time
