Disappointing Sleep tracking after new update

[BrunoH]

@Mitch9 the missing features (sleep stages, nap detection) are licensed sw from a 3rd party. They might be introduced to Vertical later on, but no promises yet. This was discussed in another thread.

@BrunoH I didn’t noticed it since this morning. where I can find that thread?

@renton82 I think it was this one:

After turning off the movement reminder, sleep tracking worked for me for the first time last night. And it was spot on. Will have to see what the future holds.

Update: That was the one and only night that it worked. Since then, many nights have no sleep recorded at all. I am a restless sleeper, and tend to wake every 90 minutes or so - but sometimes not.

@RightNow yes i did but I feel like I’m changing physiology to suit technology, shouldn’t technology serve physiology?

[peegee]

@tomasbartko me neither… wonder why

[peegee]

@Patrick-Löffler-0 I haven’t had the pleasure of getting reminded to stand up… looking forward for a surprise future reminder

[peegee]

@gone-troppo super bizarre! last night I got a better sleep reading than the previous ones but still over an hour less than the actual sleep duration.
I’m going to keep on tracking… hoping for reliable results

The stand up reminder is triggered if you do less than 40 steps in a period of 2h.
If you then do move more, you are awarded (see below).
As Vertical step counter is pretty sensitive, it is probably counting more than those 40…
I have received the reminder a couple of times with Suunto Race.

@Egika
Today i received Stand up reminder after i sit for 2 hours. Is it remind every 2 hours if less than 40 steps for the next 2 hours?

@Egika Thanks for the pictures of the move alert. 40 steps in 2 hours is really not a lot. That’s probably the personal reason for me why I never get it.

This happens to me as well. Sometimes sleep is perfect, it was last night and sometimes the watch states I am awake for 2h and I was not. It may be that I move around more during my sleep than most. I think the tracking will be improved. However, I have seen that the new firmware is far better than just a couple test versions prior. Sleep tracking is likely very difficult and I listen more to how I feel than what my watch tells me.

Dissapointed again with 3 1/2h less sleep, after raising rest heart rate by 15 bpm… didn’t do any good at all

if you want an evaluation of how good sleep tracking works I think you have to compare the watch tracking when sleeping in a sleeping lab. Even if we are sleeping we are moving a lot. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Some times we register at we have moved a lot, sometimes not. But the watch does so it would be interesting to compare the tracking of the watch with a camera recording of the sleep

Just adding my voice to the mix. Sleep tracking lost all accuracy after the update here too. The last three days read 12h, 2:23h, and 1:19h, while it should’ve read something like 5:30h, 7h, and 5:30h. It’s not just slightly off and balancing out; it is very far off.

I love the UI/nav changes and the additional bits, but would also love to keep the basics

I find no difference in sleep times/awake times before/after update. Only thing I notice is high resources (before update, I was almost never above 90%, now it’s the opposite)

[Stefan Kersting]

@Likarnik same here. Sleep tracking works fine for me. And I see too that I have up to 100 % ressources in the morning. But I noticed that I am not stressed at all. Maybe the stress will be tracked when I had 14 days with HRV tracking?

[Likarnik]

@Stefan-Kersting I guess we are not stressed anymore because update is finally here

[Stefan Kersting]

@Likarnik haha that’s right

if you have sleep tracking problems, try to enable dnd just in case…
