I just finished covering my first Mobile World Congress (MWC), Europe’s largest tech show held annually in Barcelona, Spain. As has become tradition when covering such events, I logged my daily step count on my trusty Garmin Instinct 3 all five days of the show.
Did I ultimately cover more ground at MWC 2026 than at CES 2026 in Las Vegas? Did I climb the equivalent height of the Sagrada Familia? Do I regret breaking in a new pair of sneakers? How many ham sandwiches did I consume? Find the exciting answers to all these questions, and more, below.
