Got it for a (I think) steal around 400€ for the 45mm GPS.
Actually also got a question. How can I use the sleep function for naps? Because I slept more than that. Anyways this is cool!
With two hours and nine minutes of deep sleep you don’t need any naps! That’s impressive
Maybe because i started going to the gym and work together is a little bit exhausting so my body enters deep sleep better :D
Also do u think it was worth the money? For me it was but I just wanted to ask this question.
What’s that app?
i like the pillow app way better than the official sleep app, it tracks your sleep automatically. i have fallen asleep on plenty times after lunch while watching tv and somehow pillow always registered it. i use the free version btw
The native app talks my sleep automatically.
only worked for me if i had sleep schedule on, which i didn’t have when napping. AW8 btw
Talks your sleep?
Fellow pillow user here. Bought it 10 years ago. I like it.
What case is that?
I think if you hit the sleep focus mode it tracks
smart that you got a basic case, I know people say that makes the watch look bad...but in my experience I get more for when I trade it in as it looks new. I'm not afraid to use a case on my AWS 8 at all
The most deep sleep mine has ever recorded is about 40 minutes .. 2 hours is impressive! What’s your secret? 😂
The two obvious ones are more physical activity, less stress.
Intermittent fasting might give you good results for increased deep sleep. Try eating in a smaller timewindow -- e.g. stop eating ~5 hours before you go to sleep, and have breakfast later in the day.
Just randomly had 4h last night. Not even had a busy day or anything.
I have the galaxy watch active 2, I'm thinking of switching to Apple just for the watch because of heart health issues.
AutoSleep works for naps. It costs $5.99, but I like the fact that it's not a subscription like almost every other app out there.
Buy Auto Sleep app. The default Apple Sleep is garbage. My $20 Huawei smart band can track sleep at any time. Auto Sleep does the same. Just install and forget. However, its sleep stage is dependent on Apple Sleep app which requires bedtime. Documentation says it needs Sleep Focus enabled during your bedtime but for some reason it works even if it's just added bedtime schedule, not Sleep Focus.
I heard about this app but I heard some bad things like that the tracking is not accurate or as accurate as the standard one? Idk but I might buy it.
I used it for a while but didn't like it. The sleep tracking is not that much accurate. Sleep tracking devices like Oura, and Smart Watches tracks sleep stages with 50-60% accuracy, my doctor told this who works at sleep clinic. Apple and Polar devices has the best sleep accuracy.
So you think I should just stick to the default sleep app?
Yea. I bought autosleep and was not satisfied with it. But that is only my experience about it. Even with autosleep app the true sleep stages etc. are quite far away from truth, save your money. The default is good enough.
edit: if you want to record your snoring and possible sleep apnea sounds then it might be good for you. But sleep apnea can also be silent like in my case.
7 mins awake? you don't pee.....good 4 u. wait till your over 40....
I do pee at 5am... Problem is that I wakeup at 6am 😩
Pillow is the one for me if you want to track naps, writes them directly into the health app as well
i don't understand how anyone can sleep with it on their wrist.
What band do you have by chance? I bought mine like 4 days ago and the first day with the sport loop I was adjusting it and def felt it but since then I’ve never had it off besides charging and sleeping has been no prob
Sleep goals
That’s a lot of deep sleep
