Sleep quality score
-
Hi, i use a suunto race s and i really like the watch. Only one thing that is very strange : my quality score of sleep is every night between 85 and 90 %. Even if I had a short night. Or after drinking a few beers. Before I used a Garmin and with Garmin I could see the effect of beer in my sleep score.

@arnobelgium i have the same thoughts and insights. On my Race S, i have this watch just six months, and i saw that my sleep score is between 85-90% and always status is: Good Sleep
Even if, i know that i had short and not so good sleep This is next reason why i want to sell this watch. I was happy when i bought Race S and have a lot of expectations. But now, after 6 months i see that Sunnto have lot of work to make this watch and app almost perfect. For now, health stats, recovering, traning sesions and others need to be inprove. Unfortunetly. Build quality and how its look is amazing, but… -
@arnobelgium as far as I know the sleep quality is quite a shallow metric, mostly based on the time you sleep. Recovery based on HRV is more accurate, and a better recovery indicator may be in the works.

@krzysMac thanks, I have the same feeling

Agreed with everything said here. My Race S is good to use as a watch for running, however I have zero desire to wear it outside of activities anymore. The metrics it provides seem shallow and not of much use (outside of tracking trends in total sleep duration).
As much as I like the build and form factor of the watch, I’ll most likely be moving back to Garmin once they release the next model on from a 965 (just saying this to be honest, not create division).

I also, sadly, find the sleep tracking to be way below par. It never gets my awake time right, even missing me getting up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. I have tried activating the watch by pushing the bottom right button - sort of saying, “hey, I’m awake” - but this doesn’t help. And then the slightest bit of movement during the night, the bed not me (I live on a yacht) and it doesn’t record anything. I did a few nights wearing both my old Garmin Fenix 5 and my Race S and the Garmin sleep tracking always recorded as was far more accurate.

@gerstlauer I agree that - long time - insights, like resources or sleep time (e.g. seeing that going to bed earlier or sleeping regularly results in long time higher HRV or lower resting HR) can be helpful, but I dislike short term scores like Garmin gives you for everything. They are way too much. Give me the data I choose and let me interpret it myself.
