Sleep tracking so inaccurate!

I bought the Venu 3s in December, I upgraded from a really ancient Fitbit. The Fitbit was so much better at tracking my sleep! I like the other features I get with the Venu but I’m so disappointed with how much I’ve paid out for something that tells me I’ve been in deep sleep when I know for a fact I was wide awake as I couldn’t get to sleep!

Does anyone think the sleep tracking will improve with updates or should I cut my losses and go back to Fitbit?

The more important question is why is your sleep tracking the way it is. please contact Garmin Support for assistance. With your permission they can access the date pertinent to figuring out the "Why" and…

I used Withings watches for years, the activity & sleep tracking are much better than the Garmin Venu 3 I got last year. After many years the withings battery which used to last about 30 days on a charge was getting to less than 14 days so I thought I'd try the newer display style Venu . I still go back to the withings for a few days everytime I charge my Garmin.

I've had a lot of watches, the worst of all was the Withings! I note your incompetence when you say that activity tracking is much better on the Withings!

For me, sleep tracking is very accurate. Everything is correct: times to fall asleep, times to wake up. I am very happy with the Garmin watch. It is almost perfect.

I know it can't be 100% precise but I am usually satisfied with the sleep tracking and feedback. My unit occasionally ignores the wakeup command though. If I am up before the set waking time, I tell it I am waking up and it shows the morning report but missing are the sleep stats and HRV. I have to exit the report, go to sleep score, and tell it a second time I'm waking for it to have the data. Weird bug.
