Index Sleep Monitor

Worth it. I forget it is on. Very comfortable to sleep with. I don't want to sleep with my watch. Very acurate data and instantly uploads when I get up and take it off.

I'm a huge Garmin fan--but this is a dud sadly. Perhaps I got a faulty device, but the experience has been bad so don't want to try another one. I tried for 2 days to troubleshoot--turned bluetooth on/off several times, turned phone off/on several times, "forgot device" in app and on phone & re-added multiple times, made sure app was running in background, confirmed it was connected to both phone and app itself before bed, tapped the back of the pod firmly and quickly up to 15 times per the troubleshooting recs, etc etc etc. But (1) it never synced with the app a single time at night despite all of the above and (2) most annoyingly, it would vibrate on my arm randomly throughout the night and wake me up (yes, I checked all of the recommended settings to prevent this happening). So, turns out, the device that is supposed to give you stats on your sleep quality actually ruins it in the process. The one upside for anyone wanting to try it: it's very comfortable to wear at night. I can't sleep with any 'extras' on my body--I bought this because wearing my beloved Garmin watch is too bulky and uncomfortable since I sleep on my side. Garmin's done a great job at making it comfortable--you can barely feel it on your arm. Garmin is a great company so I'll most likely try this again in a few iterations, but this one's going back.

I've been using it for 2 weeks solely to monitor my sleep. The app shows lots of colorful information about phases of sleep, duration, etc. The idea of sensor on the belt is great too - very comfortable. And my first impression was pretty good corresponding for many nights to my own feel of how I slept. Don't know whether it was a coincidence. Last night I had a very poor sleep but the device showed it as "excellent" even though I was awake at different intervals for the total of several hours. I am pretty certain that the device was attached to my arm in exactly same way as all other nights. Basically, that last night has ruined my trust. Plus the price of $169 seems to be very high although it's not a majot factor. I hope it works better for other people.

Before the sleep monitor, I slept with my Garmin watch to track my sleep. The strap of the sleep monitor is definitely more comfortable to sleep with and makes sure you're not hurting anyone during the night :) This is a positive, but is it enough to shelve out $170? I am a bit on the fence there. I would have expected more data, more analysis. Maybe because the sleep monitor is new, this is still all to follow. I wonder also why the monitor is only for sleep, and not to wear continuously to monitor heart rate and activities during the day. Charging the device is another headache. While it works fairly okay for the watch, it's a headache for the monitor. I have 2 cables and have to try my luck entering the cable until the green light flashes So 2 stars, because it is a solid product and does well for what it is being sold and doesn't charge well. No 5 stars, because of the limited use of the monitor

Works great as advertised. Prefer this to my Enduro for sleeping! Not a fan of wearing a watch while sleeping! This band is very comfortable. Don’t even notice it while sleeping. Works for me. 4 stars because I think it’s a little too expensive.

Have it for two days and track my sleep perfectly, just make sure before you put it on use you finger to cover the sensor that will trigger the band to power on. Band will vibrate as confirmation.

The device is comfortable enough, but the app is a hot mess and the device stopped recording after less than 4 months. Specifically: * The app seems tb written for some sort of wrist-worn device different functionality. "Steps"?? * The hourly graph of sleep activity needs labels on the time axis * The UI is cluttered, non-intuitive, and difficult to navigate. * I have gotten a a few nights of data so far, but this morning it threw "No sleep detected" at me. Coincidentally, there was an update today (Sept 28th) that was labeled as tb released on the 29th per the Google Play page. * Usually, I am in bed at 2200. One night I did not get to bed until 2315 - moving around and doing stuff, NOT wearing the monitor. Next morning it showed " Light Sleep" from 2200 to sometime after midnight. If it cannot get that right....???? Addendum: Today I woke up at 0645, but did not remove the device until 0715. That 30 minutes was represented as REM sleep on the graph. Oh well... EDIT: Bought the thing on Sept 19th. Now it's Feb 8th and it has been dead since Jan 10th. Started throwing the occasional "No sleep detected" early on the game and just did it more-and-more frequently until it became an every day thing.
