Really Shameful

I bought the watch about a month ago. Searching the internet I found that there is a problem with the nap detection. There is also a problem with the lactate threshold detection. As a result the body battery show wrong results.

It's truly a shame for a company to write for almost a year that it will fix the problems and nothing happens. I sincerely hope that you don't get scammed in this way.

Best regards

  • I bought the watch about a month ago.

    Which one?

    Searching the internet I found that there is a problem with the nap detection.

    Have you personally experienced any nap detection problem, or just read about it?

    There is also a problem with the lactate threshold detection.

    Again, have you personally experienced this problem, or just read about it?

    As a result the body battery show wrong results.

    Can you post a pic of the "wrong results" shown on your Epix (Gen 2) Series watch?

    Any info you can share might help others solve some of your issues.

  • My watch is Garmin epix gen 2 pro. There are few posts about wrong detection of threshold lactate. No detection of naps. As the result battery body is wrong. 
    There are several publications here and there about a year ago that have mentioned it and there is a consistent response that the problem will be resolved but it still exists.

    This alone makes him ashamed.

  • My suspicion/belief is that "nap" detection is really just a label applied to restful periods, which may or may not be naps. My 6X and Epix Pro Gen 2 both used to be guilty of falsely detecting naps when I was on the Xbox playing Sniper Elite. It was annoying for me to have so many false naps. I guess they adjusted the parameters/threshold for nap detection and it is now much better for. It's a fine balance to cater for everyone perfectly. 

    As for body battery impact, I'm not sure there is one. Your HR, HRV, respiration rate and movement are the same whether the time is flagged as a nap or not.

  • So in your opinion, the wrong indication is worse than the failure to detect sleep? We are looking for which is the least bad.

  • There are few posts about wrong detection of threshold lactate. No detection of naps.

    Simple question: are your naps recorded not? My Marq Gen 2 consistently records them (software is the same), no false detections. Idem for TLP, I regularly get new results which seem to match my performance.    

  • As well as my watch I have an Oura Ring 3 and Ringconn Gen 1. False naps are rarely recorded by either, but today the Oura Ring identified two false naps and the Ringconn identified one. My watch was not so easily misled.

    At least Oura asks me to confirm any naps and Ringconn makes deletion easy enough, or I can disable nap detection completely on the Ringconn. This is a much better than the Garmin solution in my opinion. Oura's solution seems the best of all.

      

  • there isnt detection of naps. That's why the company is constantly talking about an upcoming upgrade. the results of TLP are absolutly wrong

  • What do you want to say with this whole story?

  • That Garmin is poor at nap detection

    That Oura is poor at nap detection. 

    That Ringconn is poor at nap detection.

    Accurate nap detection appears to be tricky.

    My watch is better behaved now than it used to be. It used to be terrible, with numerous false naps that could be provoked simply by gaming.

    Oura and Ringconn offer better facilities than Garmin for handling poor (false) nap detection. 

    And for what it's worth, I cannot remember the last time I napped, but Garmin last recorded one on 10th March. Ringconn also recorded a nap at around the same time, but Oura did not. Maybe the nap was real, maybe not. I don't lose sleep over it. It's really not important, but I do not care for fake naps to be invented by my fitness devices. It's just nonsense data. It helps nobody.

    As for genuine naps not being recorded, so what? I've managed very well for many years without the nap feature at all on my watches.

  • Maybe you don't understand. You are expressing your personal opinion and that's it. Here we are talking about a problem that exists and the company's managers write that in an upgrade the problem will be solved.
