Insider Watch Challenge: Sophie's Story

August 06, 2024  •  Leave a Comment

Life is full of challenges as we all know. Some are faced with tougher challenges that we didn't sign up for. My toughest challenge was my cancer diagnosis as 36 and having to navigate a new life of hospitals and treatments.

Fortunately for me, l've made it out the other side and now face the new challenge of surviving and dealing with a new life and body.

When Phil @the.adventures.of.phil.jones contacted me and asked me to see if I wanted to join his #insiderwatchchallenge it resonated with me and I instantly turned my watch around. And you know what, I felt better for it and haven't had it on the outside since! I feel less stressed and my Garmin seems to measure steps better too.

My most recent challenge was climbing a literal mountain, the tallest in England. My fitness hasn't been great as I struggle with the constant barrage of after effects of treatment and the chronic conditions I now live with. But slowly and surely, I reached the top with my fantastic crew, all to raise money for @the_bowel_movement

I flipped my watch around to try and switch things up. And I now wear it like this in support of everyone else facing this struggle. If you're interested in joining me, give it a try!

“Trying the Insider Watch Challenge was a game-changer!” Many found that flipping and wearing their watch on the inside of the wrist not only felt more comfortable than wearing it the conventional way, but with smartwatches, some people also felt it improved their accuracy, although this isn’t scientifically proven, yet!

Join the Insider Watch Challenge and together let’s bring awareness and create a positive change to life’s challenges and struggles. Wear your watch with the face on the inside of your wrist and share a photo, reel or story. Tag @themischiefmovent, @theadventuresofphiljones and the charity or a friend you are supporting.
