Does Instinct Solar have Sleep time Respiration ?

Noticed in Desfit Instinct Solar review that there is Respiration rate in sleep tracking. I am not able to see it. Any of you guys have it ?

Asked Garmin in Twitter and here is the reply -

Hi! That's a great question. The watch does have advanced sleep monitoring but doesn't have respiration. We do apologize for any inconvenience.

The respiration feature will maybe be seen in the Instinct 2 series further down the road. Even I will not know until it gets announced and I go over the features.

I do not expect the Respiration widget…

I do not have it. The Instinct Solar has the Advanced Sleep Monitoring which is supposed to record respiration rate but, sadly, it does not. Unless they update it

I saw that too but cannot find respiration either. Would be very useful.

No, respiration rate is only available on the more expensive models, such as Fenix.

As sanic pointed out, the Instinct does have the sensor to do it, but I have no idea if the rest of the hardware is powerful enough to analyze the readings. So my guess is in the video, they must have inserted a screenshot from another watch, or they have reviewed a very early pre-release version where that option was available (if it was ever available).

Garmin - Chris Can this feature be added especially since it has the hardware and review units had the feature ?

I do not expect the Respiration widget and data field to be added to the Instinct series due to the core software differences when compared to our Fenix and MARQ watches.
