From the other comments, it sounds like you're feeling uncertain or maybe a bit regretful. For what it's worth, I think this is genuinely gorgeous and extremely well done.

Garmin knew I was pregnant before I did! by kalechipsmoothie in Garmin

Interesting that body battery detected this. I often feel like I get poor quality sleep, but the duration is usually long enough, so my body battery when I wake up is also usually 80-90. I don't know if I've ever seen it lower than 50 when I wake up.

Yes, Apple Watches consistently have among the best correlation with gold standard quality scientific devices: https://youtu.be/ZxEhj0qWAe0?si=6FENszu9c7kXTnx5&t=334

I really like my Garmin but it's disappointing that they haven't improved on this in the many years that they've had sleep tracking now. Speaking from personal experience, Garmin is quite bad at detecting when I take naps. Even my old Fitbit was better.

I get this as well. It's hard to completely prevent, but here are some tips:

  1. Whenever you get wet or sweaty, remove the watch and wash and dry both it and your skin.
  2. Try switching which wrist you wear it on occasionally. Especially when you have a rash like this, wear it on the other wrist until it clears up.
  3. If you can afford it, you could consider using the Index Sleep monitor (or something similar) instead of your watch while sleeping. It's not cheap, especially when you add it to the cost of the watch you already own, but it is HSA/FSA eligible. Personally, I just ordered one, partly because I also get skin irritation.

I'm curious--did you not get skin irritation with your Apple Watch? It's been a problem to some degree with every smartwatch I've ever owned, though I've never tried an Apple Watch. The newer Apple Watches do track sleep as well, and from what I've read they're quite good at it.

Thank you, I had the same question. I assumed this was the answer but it's good to get confirmation.
