...and the Sleepanaylsis. My personal showstopper

My personal show stopper.
I can't believe Garmin keeps selling this crap. Since I switched from the FR235 to the VA4 it's been like this since the first time I noticed it. Deep Sleep only takes place in the first third of the night, after that there's nothing left. I have a lot of screens of the same behaviour. Every manufacturer I use (Huawei, Amazfit, Xiaomi...Fitibit) can do it so that it feels right.

For me this, in combination with the screen and a few little things, is a real showstopper. After one night you have a body battery of 50% because the stupid thing can't analyze anything properly.

And "Yes", I make a point of it. We're not talking about my $135 Watch GT2e. We're talking about a $360 device.

That is not how "Stress" works. I suggest you read what Stress and Body Battery is actually measuring, there's some articles and videos about it from First Beat.

First of all, Body Battery has nothing to do with sleep. Body Battery is based on Stress which is based on HRV. Basically, when you're asleep or "resting"- your HRV *rises* so Stress will fall, causing your Body Battery to recharge. Read the articles by First Beat.

I'm not sure what you mean by deep sleep but do some reading. Most of your deep sleep occurs during the first half of the night, but that doesn't mean you don't get any deep sleep after that. No consumer wearable can "detect' what sleep phase you're in because in order to do that, it would need to measure your brain waves...sleep phase is just a best guess based on their algorithm.
