Index "Full Day/Night" Monitor

I am focusing to this Index Sleep Monitor with interest, without wearing FR965 on wrist is a relief (my opinion).

I don't mind to charge this every two-day... if Garmin can make this gadget into 24-7 monitoring.  Possible future firmware update to make it a full day monitoring device?  

  • It can do some stuff 24/7. DC Rainmaker made a video about it. No intensity, steps, Floors or training readiness.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9WLvR3gUK4

  • Hi Slugwalker!

    We appreciate you sharing this feedback and giving us insight to your opinion on what is most useful to you. The Index Sleep Monitor is not designed to be used in the manner that you have specifically described, as it is meant to be worn in-place of one of our watch products for users who are either unable, or uninterested in sleeping in with a watch on. This may also be of use to other customers who have say an Edge cycling computer only and would like to gather additional sleep information that those products cannot track. 

    This product is designed and built for a specific use and function and we do understand this will not be the best solution for all users. All the same, we sincerely thank you for the feedback. 

  • Thanks for clarification the purpose-built on this Sleep Monitor.  One more question, wonder if this sleep monitor band can fit my spare FR965 (by remove wristband) so i can monitor 24/7?  

  • Keeping in mind that the device is not intended to be used that way and has never been tested in that manner, it cannot, I tried with both a FR 965 and a Venu X1 and neither fits in the Sleep Monitor band. Additionally the sensor that comes in the band does not have any  "prongs"  to attach a band, where any watch casing would. My concern there is that the prongs will rip the material on that band.

  • Thanks for your trial in FR965 and Venu X1. Sleep monitor for night use/monitoring, will complement with day monitoring via FR 965
