Sleep as Android

20-45% battery drain, had to restart fenix 6 before (so it can connect) and after the night (because it won't close); sometimes stopping the app on the phone stops the app on the watch properly, sometimes not (and the watch won't stop vibrating). Data provided to Android app very limited (looks like HR only?), doesn't really warrant the battery use when compared to what the Garmin's own sleep tracking does with minimal resources. Both alarms fired properly.... but couldn't be silenced from the watch. Currently more nuisance than help but will be checking that in the future.

This is a pretty good app, if you use sleep as android on your phone this is a must have.

When starting SaA from the phone (confirm on FR245), battery drain is about 10% p/h, but when starting from the watch it is close to 4% p/h or about 30% p/night. It is not battery friendly, but understandible because of the BT-connection. I also have to stop the watch-app from the phone, or force-close the watch-app (sometimes both). SpO2 and BR is not yet availlible on the FR245, but would make it a 5 star app for me.

Loses the connection after about 20 - 30 minutes 5 nights a week. The connection issue is getting worse.

Can you please explain me how does this app work? I was using the Android app with basic tracking band, but I can't figure out how to use my Venu sq to track the sleep... I tried several combination and nothing seem to work. No connection to the phone, no alarm displayed, sometimes the app freezes and I have to force restart.

Drained my battery from over 70% to off in a few hours when it worked. Last time I'm trying this app!

I cannot connect with vivoactive 3. I love the android app. I now have a va3, but integration fails :-(

Tried the Garmin App on Decent Mk2i with excitement, but whatever I do, the watch App does not Connect with the phone App. Tried WLAN, Bluetooth, reboots ans different sequences of Installation. My Sleep phaser doesnt Work anymore since abot a year so I was hoping to usw my New SmartWatch and include Heart Rate and SPO2. :( I use the Sleep as an Android App since IT was frist released and this is the best App for Sleep Insights ever since.

I love Sleep as Android, but the Garmin integration is bad for now and it's probably Garmin's fault. I like to switch of Bluetooth at night, so it would be better and imply no battery drain if sleeping data is transferred and processed afterwards and not in real time. As it is, starting sleep tracking and (forced) stopping is also cumbersome.

About 15-20% battery drain per night on venu is a great improvement over previous versions; saw the experimental spo2 tracking but any instructions on how to enable it? (I can't find any on the documentation on your website) And if spo2 is done, maybe breathe rate tracking can also be implemented as well. Keep up the good work!!!!!

Não está mais funcionando. Está drenando a bateria e interrompendo no meio do monitoramento.

Pretty buggy and have to restart my fenix 6 pro when starting sleep tracking. Just sent a bug report. The 2.0 update looks promising!

81% deep sleep according to Sleep as Android!!! I can't believe that!

I am a big fan of Sleep as Android, but I finally gave up on the Garmin app today. Battery drain is not trivial, and the additional functionality simply is not worth it. When it works, you get heart rate data in the app. When it doesn't work, the watch app won't start, the watch alarm may or may not work, the watch alarm may not turn off (I had to power the watch off yesterday to stop the alarm), and any other number of issues. I blame the Garmin's ability to integrate more than I do the app's dev team. It just appears the limitations are too much to overcome, at least in the Vivoactive 4.

I have to force stop on my vivoactive 4s in the morning ans sometimes this doesn't even work. It would also be nice if the Garmin vivoactive 4s pulse oximetry data showed up on the sleep as Android app. This app needs a lot of work.

New version is less battery drain, but crashes several times a week and there is now no way to snooze or turn off from the watch, which alarms separate from teh phone by a minute. I need to turn off the watch to get it to stop. Please fix this and I'll go back to 5 stars.

It's a good attempt but I'm afraid I had better success ratio with that old version of app. It could have only been started like so: - enter app list on watch - start sleep monitoring on phone - start app on watch (so that neither way sleep tracking is started automatically; entering app list on watch prevents from that "do you want to start sleep" modal) And it seems like this new app version is only stable also started the same way. The only problem is that it crashes mid sleep more often (like once or twice a week I have crappy sleep graph, no better drain though) and also seems to record movements a bit worse.

Hello, it seems no way to snooze through the watch. Have to snooze alarm on the phone and turn off the watch as it is alarming continuosly.

I have to force close the app on my Vivoactive 4 in the morning, the normal buttons are not working. That is if the app didn't drain my battery or crashed and closed during the night. Needs work, it is unusable in it's current state. On my Pebble 2 HR this app worked flawlessly for years, so I keep having faith.

Is it ok to consume more than 30% of battery per night on Garmin Venu?

Sleep 2 with sensor batching are amazing, it doesn't eat battery any more, just 20% per night!!!
