The new Garmin Sleep Tracker offers a week of battery life

Sleep monitoring is not new in Garmin’s fitness watches, but the company’s last laptop is a dedicated intelligent sleep group. The SLEEP Index Monitor offers a week -long battery life with continuous monitoring of pulse beefs to monitor your blood oxygen saturation while you sleep.

Garmin’s tracker is carried on the top of the arm – which should make it more comfortable – where it follows a variety of metrics: skin temperature; Light, deep and Rem sleep stages; and variations in your heart rate and breathing. The data is then combined to provide a global personalized daily sleep score which can be viewed in the Garmin Connect application. If you already use a Garmin smartwatch but do not sleep with your wrist, the index Sleep monitor is designed to add the missing measurements to the ideas you already get from the watch.

Monitoring the skin temperature gives you a better idea of ​​how your sleep environment affects the quality of your sleep, while signaling the potential diseases indicated by temperature changes. This metric also extends to the monitoring of menstrual health, with skin temperature changes useful for the monitoring of cycles, past estimates of ovulation and what Garmin describes as “predictions of improved periods”.

The Garmin’s Sleep index monitor will also monitor your energy levels, providing you with its “body battery” measurements that advise you to rest more when reading will arrive. Again, this information should be more precise and reliable when combined with a compatible smartwatch worn during the day. The Sleep Band will also follow your stress throughout the night and presents an intelligent alarm that tries to wake you slowly during the lighter sleep stages, so you will feel less tired.

The SLEEP index monitor is available in SM and L-XL sizes and costs $ 170.
