Sleep tracking and battery saver: something wrong?

Hi all,

          I’ve just received yesterday morning my new Garmin Fenix 7X Sapphire Solar. 
I immediately updated it to software version 7.20. Then I set up everything.

I set my scheduled sleep time from 23.30 to 7.00 and I enabled Battery saving during sleep time in the sleep manager menu.

This morning I wake up to found that my new Fenix recorded that I slept from 7.00 to 10.10  in the morning. While I went to sleep at 2 and woke up at 10.10. 
Is there any bug with power saving during sleep? Why it was so wrong the sleep tacking measurement? I double checked just to be sure, my heart rate was tracked during the night.

What am I missing? Hoping it was just a first day issue…

Any idea?

Thanks

    I think it is a problem even without battery saving.

    Last night I slept in the hours set by the sleep manager, then took a nap in the afternoon.

    The clock took nap time as a reference, saying I had basically slept two hours.

    I hope it is a bug that they will fix soon

    The same problem here, no sleeping data or totally wrong ones and problems with body battery as well, body not charged after 8hrs sleep = WTH. Battery saving is OFF.

    Oh well, at least now I know it’s not depending on battery saving. I’m not pretty sure whether be happy or not for it, if it’s not due to battery saving then it’s  general bug. But in such a case any other users should have the same issue. Maybe it’s depending on some setting I enabled?

    Ok, I guess I understood what was the root of my problem.

    I thought my fenix 7x recorded anyway my heart rate…but maybe I had to triple check…not double, as looking in my Garmin connect it was not nor my pulse ox values. 

    As I said I set battery saving while sleeping, but I didn’t change battery saving setting. Few minutes ago I checked into power manager menu, then battery saving menu and there I saw I have both HR and Pulse ox disabled!!!! Face palm tone1

    I’ve just changed both settings thus to leave HR and pulse ox unchanged when in battery saving mode. I pretty sure tomite I’ll get my sleep tracking numbers! Smiley

    It’s been mentioned in several other posts from people not recording sleep when Battery Saver mode is enabled during sleep. To record sleep with Battery Saver enabled edit the WHR so that it is set to Do Not Change. Provided WHR is normally enabled sleep will then be recorded when Battery Saver is enabled.

    it pays to search the forum first and/or read the manual.

    FYI: I’ve read the manual before posting, but, at least for the Italian manuale, when you go into Sleep Manager section, you can only read “enable power saver mode” on battery saver setting, nothing else. It doesn’t warn you with something like: “be aware to modify default battery saving settings if you want to keep tracking you sleep”. For what concerns the other posts, while inserting the title of this post, the forum autosuggests other threads on the same argument, but the one it gave me was yes on battery saver during sleep but not really on sleep not tracked. Now looking for it I saw other posts about it.

    Moreover, you maybe didn’t pay attention, I solved this problem by myself  posting the answer and accepting it as right one several hours before you reply. Maybe even reading other posts carefully is not bad. ;)

    Thanks anyway

    Hi there. 

    I have a Fenix 7 Saphire Solar. 

    Sleep function worked well until 5 days ago. It stopped recording anything without any change. Since then no records about sleeping.

    Tried anything, even a factory reset. No luck.
