I have the same issue. 1200€ for a smart watch in permanent sleep mode. Unacceptable. I was pro Garmin watches so far but if this issue isn’t fixed ASAP I will leave for Apples watches. Super annoying…

Will Garmin ever stop pretending shift workers don't exist and let us turn off the sleep schedule entirely?

I have a Fenix 8. Sometimes I'm prompted to confirm "End Sleep?" and sometimes I'm not. When I'm not prompted, the watch will re-enter sleep mode -- EVEN DURING AN ACTIVITY! So, for me, this is still an issue. Frustrating.

SW Version 15.32

I am sorry to hear you are having this issue. I would love to help investigate this further. For this, I will reach out to you via Private Message to collect details of this concern.

Hello- the software on my Fenix 8 is updated, yet the problem persists. Please suggest as to how I may resolve this.

Mine still does this during activities - it says entering sleep and the recorded activity is lost. Any news on a fix? I updated mine this to the latest version.

Garmin-Laurie sent me private message. But there was notification of error when i tried to reply it. Tried few times.

I solved the issue by adding the Sleep Score glance (information that I got from the forum).

I set it 9 pm to 5 am for sleep schedule in the watch. FYI, other setting, I used the backup setting from my previous watch (epix Gen2).

When the issue came out, i even didn't know what is the Focus Mode. When tried to solve the sleep mode issue, I tried any setting, and that was the time I see the Focus Mode.

The issue came at night (passed my sleep scheduled time). At that time, I tried to change the Watch Face while it was in sleep mode. I saw the option ".. Don't change.." when I scrolled the watch face opotions.

Now every night, the watch face does not change to sleep mode like it used to. But I ignored it. I have tried change sleep schedule in Focus Mode>Schedule through my iOS. I don't want to change anything else anymore. Fear that the issue may show again and i cannot use it for activity in the morning.
