Started a job that doesn’t allow any jewelry, including watches. What features should I focus on?

Question

Started working at a food factory and this rule is a precaution to keep things from falling into the product. Also, I don’t think I would want to wear it anyways because I bang my wrists a lot building boxes.

Any AW owners have this kind of job? Maybe I’ll start tracking my sleep, but I didn’t see any free apps for that.

Maybe I can put the watch in my pocket and still track steps, but still makes me nervous since I get knocked around with tubs and carts through the shift. Might invest in some kind of case.

It’s still worth keeping for me because I do running on Saturday mornings and like tracking my progress.

Yes, i am not allowed to put anything personal in my pockets, so i just tried iT on my ankle one day and it worked. I often forget its there until I get home and see the charger.

Maybe try this:

Twelve South ActionSleeve/Armband for 42mm Apple Watch, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MY2ENNT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_XNSoCb3R6R8V1

I keep applying! It’s 2nd shift so I can interview during the day.

Keep at it! You’ll find something eventually. Nothing worse than working a job that you’re not a fan of. Especially one where you can’t wear your Apple Watch!
