How many of you guys wear your AW 24/7? I’ve been only wearing it as a watch. Not really even working out in it since I have Whoop but I’m interested in utilizing more of the features such as HRV, V2O, etc. but I feel like I will have to wear it 24/7. I usually only wear my AW only during work.

I do. The vibrating alarm has been a fantastic addition to my life.

That's the only reason why I use it to sleep. I used to have a Garmin, and compared to that, the AWU is very discomfortable to sleep with.

Why did you switch from garmin? I would assume AW is annoying since garmin battery life was amazing

Well, because the Garmin was 100% fitness focused, while the Apple Watch feels much more like a smartphone, it has much more features than the Garmin.

Also, I do a lot of weightlifting and there are apps like Gymaholic that makes the Apple Watch a much better companion compared to the Garmin.

I had a Garmin for years before I got an Apple Watch. My Garmin was awesome for tracking my workouts but personally I really hated the vibration, it was super intense and felt kind of itchy. I got an Apple Watch after a solid 3 years of no smartwatch and its drastically improved my quality of life over the last two years. Apple has really put a lot of time and thought into making their products accessible to those with sensory issues (me!) and just disabilities in general!

No regrets leaving my Garmin in the dust, lol
