Sleep mode and Sleep tracking HELP?

Hello everyone,

could someone clarify once and for all (because I'm confused) whether Sleep mode is just a sort of DND mode or does it play a role in the accuracy of sleep tracking?

Second question is, if it has nothing to do with sleep tracking accuracy, I can't find the settings on GC app or website where I can set/reset number of sleep hours goal or set my sleep window.

Would appreciate your help, thanks in advance guys! (I'm on F7X SS)

    The sleep schedule just switches the watch to specific settings usually aimed at reducing the battery draw on the watch and has nothing to do with the accuracy of sleep tracking. You can go to sleep before/after the schedule start and wake up before/after the scheduled finish. While some appear to have problems with this others (I'm one of them) rarely see issues with sleep start and finish times being incorrectly recorded outside of the schedule.

    In GCM app go to Settings, System, Sleep and there you'll find the sleep schedule. Same place on the watch - Settings, System, Sleep.

    You won't find this on the website

    Thank you!
    So there is no way to set sleep duration goal (which was a setting I remember was available on the GC app via User Settings with my Fenix 6 but for some reason can't find with the fenix 7)

    Never heard of that setting. I can only see an ability to set normal sleep and normal wake time

    Exactly I was talking about those settings which I can not find on my app for some reason

    These settings appear not to be available with iOS App or on the GC Web.

    Don't know where they are...

    There never has been an ability to set a sleep duration goal, just the Normal Wake time and Normal Bed time.

    What I've posted is a cut from a screenshot for the F6 on iOS GCM. The F7 series watches now have a more granular sleep schedule that can be set for each day of the week. That's what the Sleep Schedule does. Basically instead of having one sleep and wake time for every day of he week like the F6 had, the option is now there to set a different wake and sleep time daily.
