Disappointing Sleep tracking after new update

[Iggge]

So my SV shows 2h of sleep!
My Fitbit shows 6h.

As it is now i see no point to even wear it during sleep…

After upgrading to the new features 2 weeks ago, sleep tracking isn’t working. I tried the following:

Increased Resting Heart Rate
Soft Reset of Watch
Hard Reset of Watch
Inactivated Stand Up Reminder Alert
Any thoughts as I love this watch but need it to track sleep as well!

@bankstreetwriter
although i am a very happy new owner of the Vertical, i can attest that indeed the sleep tracking (which i tried for fun becuase i really find those features unnecessary and sometimes even disturbing to my lifestyle) is quite random.

[Egika]

@bankstreetwriter and after soft and hard reset, you have enabled the sleep tracking with the appropriate time in the settings?

Is the step counter working?

[bankstreetwriter]

@Egika yes it is.

[peegee]

@bankstreetwriter did any of these changes/actions make any difference for the sleep tracking?

[bankstreetwriter]

@peegee

Unfortunately not. I have done the following:

Increased Resting Heart Rate
Soft Reset of Watch
Hard Reset of Watch
Inactivated Stand Up Reminder Alert

Still it has not tracked any sleep since I did the software update 2 weeks ago. Everything else works just fine…

@bankstreetwriter and 24/7 HR is on?

Hi Guys, just to add my experience. I have Vertical and it works OK for me after update. I tried to sleep few night with Race because I like report about phases in the morning. But result of race was the same - full of awake gaps even I slept OK. I wear both watches the same tightness and I assume I sleep the same So it might be related to sensor/device, not just a sleep/person.

No It is off. It never had to be on before - it was always off and sleep tracker worked before the software update. I turned it off to reserve battery. I will turn it on now and try…

Just fyi to all here. This topic is tracked to improve the current solution.

So my ask is only to keep the scope and add any valuable feedback if possible.

I had three days of less than stelar sleep reporting (sleep starting 3-4 hours after reality).

Tightened the strap last night and it went back to normal. Will try perhaps the velcro strap for rest time to maintain a tighter fit

if only fw were available for the S9PP users as well we could happily give our humble contribution and ideas

Hello guys, I use the new firmware for SV since the day of release, and my first impression about sleep tracking was ‚it‘s as good or worse like before‘… that means that the times of sleeping are just ok, but the level of recovery was as low as before the update. But after about 8 or nine nights of using the watch with the new firmware, the level of recovery/recreation changed and was really much better the last nights… but I didn‘t change my settings in this time. The only thing I changed is that I wear the strap one hole closer because I thought it was too loose, perhaps because it is cold now and the tissue changed a little bit? Can somebody tell me about the parameters which have influence on sleep quality and recreation? Is it only the HR (and the rest HR that I tell the watch), or is it also the new HRV parameter which seems to need a calibration for about 14 days or more (my HRV widget is still not complete, the normal range is still missing)? For now, I thought about that the calibration of the HRV could be responsible for increasing sleep quality?

[bankstreetwriter]

So I turned on 24 HR tracking and finally the sleep worked. I didn’t know that it’s a prerequisite. I don’t think it was on 24 hours before the software update.

A few more nights, sleep tracking still perfect.
I didn’t changed my settings since I received my SV in may :

• hr tracking H24
• no spo2 measurement
• do not disturb activated from 11pm to 7 am
• sleep target 7hours
• sleep period set from 11pm to 7am
  Since update : hrv mesurement activated.

Everything works fine.
One night I woke up to have a (water) drink, it recorded the one minute awaken.

@Tieutieu

My SV keeps on measuring spO2 even though the setting is OFF

All my sleeps are tracked 1-2 hours short, usually from the beginning of the sleep, but sometimes from the end as well.

This feature became useless, which is a shame since my sleeps used to be spot on before the update. Looking at the 12h graph it seems like my HR is going down slowly when I fall asleep.

my today sleep was tracked correctly in terms of awake time (i think) : i was long time awaken and watch gives me almost 3h awake duration.
but i had an alarm at 7, and i snooze it once for ten min, and then i stop it at 7h10, and fall asleep for one hour more :), but watch didn’t recognize this one extra hour : out of bed time is 7h10
My settings are DND and sleep period from 21h30 to 8h30 (large range to be sure to track everything (maybe not the right choice ? ).

[Iggge]

I got three hours of sleep according to my Vertical. Don’t know why, but the watch did stop recording my sleep in the middle of the night at 4. Again, my other watch shows 6 hours.

Guessing here:
sleep detection uses HR plus watch movement. Not exactly sure what is was löike before the update.
