Considering buying an Apple Watch for sleep tracking - worth it?
As you can guess by the title, my quality of sleep is awful and I’m always exhausted. For those of you who own an Apple Watch, how good is the sleep tracking? Has it been useful?
If I can buy one used for cheap I’ll pull the trigger
I’ve never used my Apple Watch to track sleep simply for the reason that the battery life is horrendous. It’s usually the watch you use during the day then charge every night.
With that being said, if you use it to track your sleep, then charge during the day, I see no problem. Personally don’t know how good the data is
I've heard good things about whoop/oura, but the apple watch doesn't track sleep very well - moreso for exercise/general.
I tried Oura and it was underwhelming for sleep tracking. The fact that you need to pay a subscription is robbery as well
I have a garmin instinct. It's being sold at a discount right now because the newer version came out. I use it to track sleep, workouts, heart rate variability, etc and it has a 14 day battery life. Would recommend.
Awesome, thanks man I’ll check this out
Best product on the market right now is probably 8Sleep. Not a wearable but a full system to enhance sleep including changing matress temp. It is like $2k for the entry level product so certainly not cheap but heard good things.
Garmin > Apple
Bought my Garmin in 2018 and it is still going strong.
Garmin watches do a poor job at tracking sleep quality, and many of their statistics are wrong from actual numbers.
Check out Quantified Scientist on youtube. This guy buys all watches and compares them to devices used for measuring specific stats. Apple Watches are very accurate with measuring most stats, and Garmin isn’t that great, especially with sleep tracking. The biggest flaw of the apple watch tho is the battery life sucks.
