I'm using the Garmin Fenix 5 and it is very clear that the awake phases are very much underestimated or not picked up at all. It seems all is categorised as light sleep. Apart from that, I also have the idea that REM is overestimated.

Excellent video! Some much needed data on the accuracy of sleep tracking. Instant subscribe for me. :) Your experiment concurs with my anecdotal evidence (on Vivoactive 3 and now 4) that my Garmin watches have been, well, not good but decent at detecting wake-up events, but tend to believe that I pretty much always fall back asleep very quickly, even when I know I was awake for a long time (say 30+ minutes). I also note in passing that since upgrading from Vivoactive 3 to 4, the amount of deep sleep indicated by the watch seems to have increased significantly. I would be interested in your opinion/analysis of the Body Battery feature. What data does it use and is it reliable? To what extent can/should we use this number to guide decisions about the intensity or duration of workouts or physical activity? Anyway, thanks again for a wonderful video!

Interesting findings, in particular the detection of when you fell asleep and when you woke up. I’m wearing a Garmin Fenix 5 and it over states the hours of sleep. Reading or watching tv prior to going to bed are detected as being asleep. Waking up early and laying in bed are also detected as being asleep, where as my old Fitbit HR was more accurate with awake and asleep times

And I know for sure that I was awake in times as the Fitbit said but Garmin not. For all other data (Sport) I prefer GARMIN, but in Sleep Data in trust more in Fitbit. Thank for the test and the confirmation.

Ah, well.. but i got rid of the annoying premium feature advertising. :)

I bought the Venu and would like to know how to improve accuracy. What I am saying is that when I lay down in bed it only takes a very few minutes that the watch is declaring it as light sleep.

@ygglensable 3 жыл бұрын

Something I've noticed with Garmin, is that it changes the sleep every time you syncronise the watch to the app, through the day. When I go back and look at my sleep from 3 days ago, it can be completely different than it was when I first looked at it when I woke up that day... I've mostly noticed that it changes my awake times, and it very ofte removes any deep sleep it managed to track. For me, polar and fitbit agree pretty well when it comes to sleep stages, while Garmin rarely reports the same reuslts as them, and the few times Garmin does agree with them, it will change it later in the day, and even a day or two later.

@ProXxXify 3 жыл бұрын

Garmin reanalyzes the sleep data a few hours after you are awake. The results right after you wake up are something like a draft and in a few hours, after reanalyzing, become final. It's officially stated by Garmin on their website, but I can't seem to find the page right now to give you a direct link.

Garmin´s own sleep tracking(1) has a mixed reputation even within their own fan base. I myself, an avid Garmin user since 2014, tended to ignore it before getting my Fenix 6. It rarely got both my falling asleep and my awakening right as I often lay down in bed to stream series, sometimes for hours, and stay laying in bed for about 15 to 20 minutes before getting up. (1) They began to use on-device sleep tracking licenced from First Beat starting with the Fenix 6 line up, which is way better when it comes to recognizing falling alseep and awakening

Thank you for that video! And for the whole channel for that matter. I have Garmin Vivoactive 4 and I was (impatiently) waiting for your test of Garmin sleep accuracy. I’m a little disappointed, though. I expected a bit more from Garmin. Overall, when I’m looking at the overall/total statistics, the differences are not so big in my opinion. I mean, 2% less deep sleep, 2% more awake, 7% less light, and 7% more REM I think is not so big of a difference. More than 10-15-20%... that's a big difference in my mind. I’m a bit confused about the confusion matrix :) because there are bigger differences there. And I’m not sure if the confusion matrix is more important than the overall statistics. If we compare the data from your Fitbit sleep test videos, we can see that Charge 4 overall statistics are not perfect too. It basically has (almost) the same differences as Venu SQ, but in other stages of sleep. On the other hand, the confusion matrix of Charge 4 is very good. Much better than Venu SQ. But, if we look at the results for Fitbit Sense, although it has an agreement of ~85% with Charge 4 for the total time of the sleep stages, its confusion matrix is way worse than Charge 4. It’s comparable to Venu SQ. So… I think that the accuracy of this test is very dependable on the specific model, not so much on the manufacturer as a whole. For example, Venu SQ may not have very good sleep tracking, but Vivoactive 4 (or other models) may have better. Much like Sense doesn’t have very good sleep tracking, but his “little brother” Charge 4 has. I'll be glad to hear your opinion and help me differentiate better the overall/total statistics and the confusion matrix and which is more important.

@TheQuantifiedScientist 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Tihomir! Your question is not so easy to answer. I can think of three things that are especially important: (1) Overall accuracy according to the confusion matrix (not the total percentage of each stage, but the actual percentage correct) (2) Ability to detect sleep cycles (3) Accuracy in detecting changes in the percentages of the different sleep stages/sleep depth. So, even if the total percentage of the stages is wrong, can it still detect the differences between the days. In other words, can it detect that day 1 had more deep sleep than day 2. Probably missing some things, but these are the first things that pop into my head

I think that you have used a low quality Garmin watch.. if you just tried forerunner 945 :)
