Many customers speak highly about its sleep-tracking functionality, in particular. What the reviews say: The Apple Watch is a fan favorite, and for good reason. Simply turn on Sleep Focus, and it will limit distractions overnight. Of course, any smart watch runs the risk of disrupting your sleep by notifying you of messages or calls-fortunately, Apple thought of that. The Sleep app also shows your total sleep for the previous night and sleep trends for two weeks. Abnormal respiratory rates can give you a clue when it’s time to seek professional care, as they sometimes indicate sleep apnea. The watch will also track your nighttime breathing rate, which can be an insight into your health as a whole. Overnight, it will provide estimates of time spent in different sleep stages ( core sleep, REM and deep sleep), plus it notes when you may have woken up in the night. You can also customize a handful of sleep-related settings, like sleep goals, bedtimes and wake-up times. Apple’s Sleep app gives you the freedom to create multiple schedules (weekends and weekdays, for example). Now, the watch has a longer battery life-though it’s still on the short end-and reminds you when it needs to be charged in advance of bedtime to work through the night.īattery limitations aside, Apple’s sleep tracking software is quite good, if a little less detailed than what you’ll find on other sleep trackers. The company waited years before adding sleep tracking to the device, in part because of the watch’s previously abysmal battery life. Sleep tracking on the Apple Watch has come a long way. As one customer puts it, “Fitbit excels at sleep tracking.” Another writes, “I had no idea how sleep deprived I truly was until I started wearing the FitBit Sense 2.” What the reviews say: There are over 1,600 reviews for the Sense 2, and customers have great things to say about its functionality for sleep, and beyond. There, your Sleep Profile will break down your monthly sleep data and highlight ways to improve your sleep based on specific metrics, such as “time before sound sleep,” “nights with long awakenings” and “deep sleep.” You can view some of these stats on the watch itself, and get more detailed info on the accompanying mobile app. It combines all that information with other data that’s not found on many other sleep trackers-including your stress level, which the device measures throughout the night using 10 different factors related to responsiveness, exertion, sleep patterns and blood oxygen levels. The Fitbit Sense 2 delivers detailed sleep reporting with a nightly “Sleep Score,” which is calculated based on your heart rate, time spent in light versus heavy sleep and your sleep stages. (It can even perform electrocardiograms now.) The Sense 2 is designed to collect all this information for a comprehensive picture not just of your fitness, but also your overall wellness. The Fitbit Sense 2 is the brand’s most advanced fitness watch, and it’s brimming with sensors that can measure heart rate, temperature, stress, blood oxygen levels and sleep quality. Fitbit pioneered an entire genre of wearable fitness trackers and was among the first companies to offer sleep tracking on consumer devices.
