Great sleep monitor
I have a fenix 7x that is hard to sleep in. I am trying to monitor and improve my sleep. I wanted to stay in the garmin ecosystem and this product enables just that. The spo2 measurements are much more accurate than my fenix due to what I understand is an improved ppg sensor. The band is extremely comfortable and you do not even feel it on your arm.

Big miss on this one…
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.

Ongoing and recent sleep sync issue
Works great other than continually failing to sync sleep data. Hopefully this is some sort of software bug, otherwise really like the interface and setup.

From a sleep nerd
First, I’m a sleep nerd. At least my wife calls me that. I wear a lot of sleep trackers to bed, including the Wellue 02 ring, Oura, and Whoop. Now I’ve added this to my repertoire, although it’s overkill.What it’s accurate on: HRV, and SP02 (although it only monitors your oxygen levels every minute – which is significantly better than only Oura, which does a snapshot like every 15 minutes and therefore will miss any potential breathing events.Also – I find the breathing variations to be accurate and in-line with my Wellue 02 ring.Comfort – a major plus, especially on nights I forget to wear my 02 ring. It will let me know with very good accuracy on nights that I have some breathing disturbances and signs of mild sleep apnea (which, are usually nights I drink alcohol).Last positive: battery life is truly 6-7 days.Now for the negatives: Sleep stages I would not rely on. It does ok with deep sleep but overestimates in most situations. I am also wearing an Oura and Whoop and they both are usually in sync and this is not in sync most of the time with those two – which in my opinion are probably the ones to go off of (but I am asleep so therefore it’s truly hard to say).Also – syncing is a major issue. In fact, there are nights it simply doesn’t even record my sleep. Or if it does, it ends up showing up much later in the day. This continues to be an issue about once per week.I do not wear a Garmin watch. The app is still useful. I wear the Apple but take it off at night in favor of the Whoop. For most people, this will be a more than suitable sleep tracker and will give you reliable HRV, and more importantly, give you insights into potential breathing disturbances you may be unaware that you have. For me, this is a secondary device that ends up as a 4th tracker at night, and the majority of people use one / two trackers at the very most, not four like me. That’s why I’m the sleep nerd 🙂

Good product but hard to charge and limited analysis
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 flashesSo 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

Perfect sleep tracking without wearing a watch
I love this product. I’ve always had trouble wearing my Garmin watch in bed — it’s uncomfortable and often disrupts my sleep — and this completely solves that problem.The Garmin Index Sleep Monitor is lightweight, unobtrusive, and easy to forget you’re even wearing it. Despite that, it still delivers accurate and detailed sleep tracking that integrates seamlessly with the Garmin ecosystem. Setup was quick, syncing is reliable, and the data quality matches what I expect from Garmin.If you want high-quality sleep metrics without having to wear a watch overnight, this is an excellent solution. Highly recommended for anyone serious about sleep tracking but sensitive to wrist-based devices.

Hace su función exactamente como anuncia, son los mismos sensores que un reloj (en mi caso FR955) para dormir y te da las mismas estadísticas de sueño, con la comodidad de no tener que usar el reloj y de hecho es muy cómodo de usar, solo no lo aprieten demasiado y que el sensor quede en una zona donde no lo vas a apretar contra tu brazo o se va a quedar marcado.

Ich nutze den Garmin Sleepmonitor nun seit einiger Zeit, um meine Erholung genauer zu tracken und möchte hier meine Erfahrungen teilen. Für jeden, der seinen Schlaf optimieren möchte, ist dies eine Überlegung wert.𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗮𝘂𝗶𝗴𝗸𝗲𝗶𝘁 & 𝗠𝗲𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗻𝗴Der größte Vorteil gegenüber meiner Smartwatch am Handgelenk ist die Genauigkeit.Schon die Zeitpunkte für Schlafeintritt und Aufwachen sind bei meinen Aufzeichnungen mit dem Sleepmonitor genauer als mit der Smartwatch. DIe Daten zu den einzelnen Schlafphasen (Tiefschlaf, REM etc.) erscheinen mir plausibel. Als Sportler schätze ich zudem den genauen Blick auf die Herzfrequenzvariabilität (HFV).𝗔𝗸𝗸𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗳𝘇𝗲𝗶𝘁Laut Garmin beträgt die Akkulaufzeit bis zu 7 Tage. Diesen Wert erreiche ich bei meiner Schlafdauer nicht ganz, ich erreiche Laufzeiten von 5-6 Tagen. Eine eigene Anzeige für den Ladezustand hat der Sleepmonitor nicht, der Wert kann nur über die App eingesehen werden.𝗨𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁ü𝘁𝘇𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗲𝗶 𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗹𝗮𝗳𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘂𝗻𝗴Die Auswertungen in der Garmin Connect App sind sehr detailliert und bieten echten Mehrwert. Ich konnte verschiedene Maßnahmen in meinem Alltag testen, die sich positiv auf meinen ‚Sleepscore‘ ausgewirkt haben. Das hat tatsächlich dazu beigetragen, meine Schlafqualität gezielt zu verbessern.𝗛𝗶𝗻𝘄𝗲𝗶𝘀 𝘇𝘂𝗿 𝗚𝗿öß𝗲Angaben von Garmin::S–M: Für einen Oberarmumfang von 20 bis 29 cmL–XL: Für einen Oberarmumfang von 26 bis 42 cmEin Tipp zur Passform:Mit meinem Umfang von etwas über 26 cm lag ich genau dazwischen und habe die L-XL-Variante gewählt. Sie passt, aber für einen etwas engeren Sitz würde ich mir ein Ersatzband in der kleineren S-M-Variante zulegen.𝗙𝗮𝘇𝗶𝘁Wer seinen Schlaf ernsthaft optimieren möchte und wem die Messung am Handgelenk zu ungenau oder nachts störend ist (wie es bei mir der Fall war), findet hier eine hervorragende Lösung.Eine klare Kaufempfehlung für alle Statistik-Fans und Gesundheitsbewusste!

this product is fantastic especially after the disappointment with sleep tracking using my Wellue BP smartwatch, its BP monitor is great BTW. I prefer wearing the Garmin arm cuff to bed than a watch anyway. The sleep chart is definitely accurate in terms of start and end time, I trust the sleep stage times as I can compare these to my Resmed CPAP machine metrics that flow into my myAir app. I’m following CBT-I (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia) as I’m currently sleeping only 4 to 5 hrs a night and want to extend this to 8 hrs. The sleep tracking is extremely helpful for this. Now I have to tell you why I dropped one star. The battery ran dry on me and I had to re-pair. You do this tapping the module 15 times. I must have had to repeat this 20 to 30 times before the module entered pairing mode to reconnect with my phone. I almost gave up their troubleshooting instructions are useless. I have sent Garmin support a feature request, give us a more deterministic way to pair. Initial pairing went smoothly so don’t let your battery run dry.

Fácil de poner en el brazo, no molesta nada y es más cómodo probablemente que llevar un reloj para dormir, obtiene muchos datos de la calidad del sueño, la aplicación es muy buena, aunque no obtiene datos acerca apnea del sueño como si tienen los últimos Apple Watch.

La fascia funzione egregiamente, ma a mio avviso manca la segnalazione del battito alto o basso come presente sugli orologi.
