VENU 2: Understanding "Advanced Sleep Monitoring" & Bug in Garmin Connect Editing Functionality

BikerWithAVenu2

Hi all,

The VENU 2 is my first sports/smartwatch ever, first Gamrin device as well. So I would like to better understand the sleep tracking / ASM feature and also report some observations:

- how do the manually configured sleep times ("...normal sleep start and end time...") that you configure during first set up, affect the tracking?

- does it only track during those hours?

- why is it not possible to track sleep outside those hours, e.g. naps durig the day?

Went to bed yesterday and could not sleep 1-2 hours past my configured "regular sleep time". Garmin did not detect that I was awake, but tracked those huors even as "deep sleep"

I tried to edit the tracking and set the sleep time to 1:00 AM at night, but apparently GARMIN CONNECT does not let you edit past midnight...? 

Would be great to get some developer feedback here please,
Thanks!

    In my experience setting the sleep start and end times does 2 things - 1. set the hours for pulse ox tracking  if you have pulse ox at night and 2. turns the watch completely blank requiring a double tap to see the face during the sleep hours. The watch does not track naps during the day BUT... I have had it track the start of my sleep when I fall asleep in front of the TV before my saved sleep start time. This is mysterious to me because if it can do that why can't it track sleep anytime? There are about a million posts (OK maybe only 999,999) about sleep tracking accuracy here and on the Venu and Vivoactive 4 forums. In general for every person who tells you it is accurate there is another person who says it is terrible. For me personally I find it to be comparable to what I saw on my Samsung Active2 so I am in the "it seems pretty accurate" camp. At least as accurate as any smartwatch can do based on your movement and heart rate.
