- Garmin has revealed a new sleep tracking laptop
- It’s yours for $ 169.99 / £ 149.99 / AU $ 299
- The band is able to track more measurements while you sleep
Much as I love my Garmin Instinct 3, I don’t like to wear it while I sleep – it’s not uncomfortable, but it’s too thick and heavy for the bed. Now there is an alternative for me and everyone else who owns one of the best Garmin watches: Index Sleep Monitor.
The newly revealed laptop looks like an oversized whoop tracker. Of crucial importance, it is screenless and easy, so it should not interfere with a good night’s sleep – and it can last a week between battery charges. There are even two sizes to choose from, either small/medium or large/extra large.
This is not a completely unexpected development: Earlier this month we saw a leaked video showing what we now know is the Garmin Index Sleep Monitor in action. Details such as the week -long battery life were also leaked.
It is only a portable for sleep tracking and sleep tracking, and it is now available for $ 169.99 / £ 149.99 / AU $ 299 on the Garmin site-beautiful shipping times at the time of writing is listed as 3-5 weeks (US and UK) and 4-7 working days (Australia).
9 Key features to know about
The Garmin Wearables are usually some of the most comprehensive when it comes to features and the index fleet monitor is no different. There are a total of nine different measurements traced by the bracelet.
They are sleep stages (light. Deep and strap), heart rhythm variability, blood oxygen saturation, breathing variations, respiratory rates, skin temperature (including extra menstrual cycle tracking for women), what Garmin calls body battery levels levels and stress tracking. The ninth and final metric is a unified sleep score.
Add a smart alarm feature that gently vibrates you at a time to fit into your circadian rhythms and it is an appealing total package. As usual with Garmin devices, everything is synced back to the Connect app on your phone.
Garmin has also treated another problem with sleep trackers: cleanliness. Index -sleep monitor band can be washed in a gentle cycle when the actual screen is removed so it remains as fresh as your pajamas.
