There is a lot of room for improvement. Still, it works, and I see evidence that development continues. To me, that's worth 5 stars.

Once set up it does work but battery drain over the course of a night was 40% so renders it unusable. Such a shame as clearly the potential is there but poor software (likely Garmin's fault not the developer's) lets it down.

Doesn't work and also causes battery drain on Fenix 7 sola sapphire

I used to love using sleep as android as my alarm / sleep analyser back when i used a mi band. However even though the most recent update fixed it is still unusable due to the batterydraun. A normal sleep night (without sleep as android) drains about 5% using this app i had a battery drain of over 40%!! In one night (8 hours) this sadly makes the app unusable at the moment. (Not that pulseOx was turned off and that all watch settings are the same during the normal drain and the sleep as android drain. I use the forerunner 745) Edit: i just saw that a new update has been released on march 31st. I will test this version soon

I used sleep as Android with my polar H10, which worked fine. After I got the Garmin Venu 2, I tried to use it as well. From all the nights I used it, it only worked once. Every eventing, the smart watch app crashes the watch (showing the IQ symbol with an exclamation mark). After closing all apps and clearing cashes it seems to work, but I never get any data and the smart alarm doesn't go off. Very sad, as I really want to have a smart alarm.

Very disappointed in this app. My biggest complaint as others have mentioned is that this app kills my watch battery (and no I'm not tracking pulse ox). It makes my watch battery go from lasting several days to a single day without a charge. It also is slow to sync with the phone app. I'll snooze the alarm on my phone and 30-60 seconds later, the alarm will start vibrating in my watch. I've never had these problems with sleep as android and previous watches.

Absolutely unusable due to battery drain issue. Watch just completely discharged in the middle of the night.

Unfortunately as all comments below say, this app is not usable... 30%+ battery drain on a 7 hour sleep is un acceptable and the screen keeps turning on. I know the app has limitations because of the garmin API but at its current state its unusable. Maybe we can use an android app that will "steal" data from the connect app or maybe we can use the sync feature to somehow fetch the data the device saves anyway? But at its current battery drain its not practical at all... Maybe we should talk with garmin devs to open up the API a bit? Should be possible as we are not changing existing features but asking for a additional feature...

Its like power hungry and it does chip away from battery quite alot lot about 15 percenton venu 2 plus for four hours of sleep, the icon of the app in the watch just looks really bad its the easiest update you can make.

Works well, no issues with connection or excessive battery drain. Seems to be more accurate and informative than the Garmin sleep tracking. Happy with it. Thanks Team

Battery went from 62% to 3% over the course of 7 hours. Renders app unusable on the watch. I have Fenix 6 Pro. I see some users have offered the Devs some suggestions of batch syncing to assist in this, but didn't look like anything has been done to address this. Also, the constant activation of watch backlight on movement is distracting and not useful while sleeping. Please, please, please fix the issues so that your excellent Android app has an equally excellent watch app to yield great data.

I used the Tizen version. I have an Android phone. The Garmin version unfortunately leaves the display on permanently and blocks access to the watch (probably limited by Garmin). Which on my Epix watch drains the battery. They don't connect from the phone anymore, I have to start monitoring from the watch. Not usable for me on Garmin.

Was also experiencing the 50% battery drain on my Instinct 2. However, turned off Pulse Oximeter tracking on the Sleep as Android app (under Settings/Wearable) on the phone and that reduced the battery drain. The pulse oximeter data is still recorded and sync'ed to the watch. Maybe the setting on the phone was causing the battery drain.

It keeps turning on the light on the watch. Super annoying and disturbing to sleep

I love this app but until battery drain issue is resolved it's pretty much unusable. Also, I am willing to help beta test the app if needed. I have Garmin forerunner 645 music.

Unfortunately I also had the battery issue, I downloaded the app yesterday to try and my watch went from 75% to 25% charge overnight, meaning I won't continue using it.

This is my go to sleep app that I've been using on my phone for years. The phone app is incredibly customisable, which is great. I didn't get the set up quite right with my watch initially, but the developer was very responsive helping me sort out my settings. It's great to be woken during shallow sleep and avoid a day of brain fog.

Connection issues seem to have improved since the latest update, the battery drain on the Venu is still massive though as half is gone from 100% to around 50% in one night. This means it needs to be charged every day using this app. Otherwise its a good app for sleep tracking with plenty of ways to analyse and use the data. Please fix the battery drain!

After sleep tracking stops, when I turn off the Fenix 5 it rather soft-reboots (it doesn't turn of, there is an immediate Garmin triangle logo and watch boots up) - any idea why? Feels like some memory leak

Endlich eine saubere Schnittstelle! Hurra

Finally with this version they have solved the connection issue. Thanks to the support team and Jiri that reply to my question. The app is still not perfect, it requires some polishing and misses few features but is still one of the most detailed app available. Keep up with the good work!

Une nouvelle version, plus stable et qui ne bloque plus la montre (même si tout doit se faire sur le smartphone) mais qui reste très grande consommatrice d'énergie. mieux vaut avoir une montre bien chargée en allant se coucher. Vraiment dommage.

Sad to say but I'm going to uninstall the app. Been using it for years on my phone, but coupled with my watch, the battery drain is too much for me to keep it. Hope it gets fixed soon

As said by everyone, the app is draining watch battery. That's because it's not possible to get Garmin's native sleep tracking data while sleeping. So the data has to be read twice and then continuously sent to phone to analyze. This should be batched and sent to phone only once in a while (let's say every 5 minutes). Devs please, try to check this again and see if you can now use the data Garmin watch collects while tracking sleep and then try to do the batching.
