Not so happy with the sleep tracking. I find it difficult to wear something on my wrist to sleep, but it has been helpful. Seems it doesn’t start tracking sleep until an hour after I am sleeping. The metrics showed I sleep mostly in light, like you said. This was not the reason I purchased the tracker, so it was helpful to see your confusing statistics. As I have been exercising at home, I am happy with the results overall and appreciate your scientific approach.

Its doing well, though needs. more ferquent charging and some times sleep tracking goes to old mode of 2 coloured line graphs only. That's not really helpful. I bought Huwaei Band 6, reasonably good, but I couldn't like their app fucntions, UI etc. It lacked staircase climbing, so I am forced to return the Huwaei. Looking to CHARGE HR 5 model sooner.. though HR 4 might also fit my needs.. Let me wait to see HR 5 and then decide. Can you throw more light on VO2 max graphs and HRV, Sleeping HR rate patterns please. I am 59 yrs, looking to maintain my heart and sleep patterns well with good health. Thank you again.

Hi Dale, so I have only looked at a few devices so far. However, based on that (limited) experience: if you're looking for a (relatively) cheap sleep tracker that is also a fitness tracker, a FitBit appears to do quite well. If you really want to study sleep in detail specifically, the Dreem 2 appears to do quite well based on a scientific (non-peer-reviewed) paper I read. I have to say that the Oura ring and Mi Band 3 seemed to be sub-optimal. The Polar and Garmin devices I have not looked in to yet, so I cannot comment. Hope this helps at least a little bit

And can you please comment on how you quantified sleep with he EEG device? Was this an automatic algorithm? And is there any data on how accurate this automatic algorithm is compared to manually scoring sleep stages? I'm a neuroscientist who partly works in a sleep lab, so any nerdy details I'll appreciate!

Just wondered what your experience was with the provision of detailed sleep for all your Fitbits, and if you found the Charge 3 to be more (or less) reliable than the Charge 2 in that respect? Thank you.
@TheQuantifiedScientist4 жыл бұрын
Hi Darrell, I used to have similar problems, though not as severe. About a year and a half ago (for a while) my FitBit would indeed record a lot of nights with just a basic sleep report. These were nights where I did sleep for more than 4 hours (which I think is the minimum that FitBit requires). At that time I found that if I restarted my iPhone and opened the FitBit app as the first app to start it would often work again the next day. Though this is very anecdotal of course, and there was no way to properly test it. I have tons of trackers and apps that require bluetooth, gps and all other sensors, but I have no idea of this contributed. Recently I have not experienced this problem on a consistent basis, and I have not really seen a difference between the charge 2 and 3 when it comes to reliability. Not sure hat it could be in your case... You could even try installing the app on a different device (phone/tablet) if you have one, and see if it makes a difference. Otherwise contact fitbit support to make sure your unit is functioning properly. Of course also make sure that the FitBit is as tight on your wrist as they recommend. Sorry I could not be of more help. let us know if you got it to work in the end! Have a great day :-D!
