Feature request: smart wake alarm depending on sleep cycle

I'm software engineer, too. It won't take that much energy to run smart wake alarm based on specified timerange, since almost every measure is already taken continuously. Garmin just doesn't take care of what its users are demanding. That's all (imo)

HRV, heart beats modules etc can collect data within their respective modules where main computer is sleeping. It's extremely easy task. Note how morning report takes time to calculate - possibly it's main computer boot up and assembling information from sensors.
Garmin is million yaers old, it's not nimble startup and possibly their software base is super old and they just didn't anticipated with continuous advance activity in the background.

>Smart wake implies you define a timeframe of say 30min where you would like to be waken up in a light sleep; so if then it would consume more power during those 30min if it wants to be really accurate

That indeed probably what can save a lot of energy, I don't know of course details I've just worked in some organization that has old software and some small change that looks super easy sometimes requires hundreds of hours of refactoring, I bet it's the case here.

It's very optimistic information that they're working on it though! Perhaps one day they'll release it, wondering if it'll be a software update or will it require us to change watches.

Btw smartbands may have different OS, they may not support installing apps, thus making OS much simpler and they can be developed with this feature in mind.

Why do you think this would consume so much more power? My Fenix7X already measure HRV, heart beats, etc. while sleeping and stays on for 10 days. Smart wake implies you define a timeframe of say 30min where you would like to be waken up in a light sleep; so if then it would consume more power during those 30min if it wants to be really accurate. But 30-70%? Please explain.

I had the chance talking to a Garmin sales Rep 2 weeks ago. Garmin is aware of this topic, they even get trained on it how to respond when someone brings it up. He even said Garmin is working on it, but he was not specific on details. He was not aware of this thread though, his explanation why nobody responds was because of high workload. They are thousands of developers according to him.

I had such function on 20$ fitness brasslet which I have charge once in a month. Any other ideas?
