Garmin Venu 3 not recording naps

Hi, I've had the Venu 3 for about a week. I've taken two naps with it but they were not recorded by the sleep tracker. I've read that I can manually track naps but I'd like them to be automatically recorded.

Is there any way to auto-record naps?

Thinking about returning the Venu 3 if it doesn't accurately record naps.

Thanks!

For me the nap recognition worked fine until around Sommer 2024. Felt like an update influenced the nap recognition in a bad way.

Now, since I had to reset the watch due to "triangle of death" bug some…

Naps would be automatically recorded if there is a period of inactivity and the watch determined you were asleep. Sleep times and sleep stages are identified using a combination of heart rate, heart rate variability and body movement data.

Now, since I had to reset the watch due to "triangle of death" bug some weeks ago and updating to 13.09 beta, nap recognition works again.

In my experience it seems to get naps during the day but naps that are "close" to the planned sleep time are often missed.

Same for me, but for the 4s. I tried to leave a comment on one of the help pages and tried to start a new forum for the 4, both unsuccessfully. Idk if it’s me being on my phone, but I couldn’t even find a place to start a forum after I logged in.

Anyway, my Garmin Venu 4 isn’t tracking my naps. Also, I wake up for 30 to an hour then go back to sleep, but my watch doesn’t detect me as being awake for that period if I adjust my sleep time, and doesn’t factor “naps” into my sleep score. It would be nice to at least include manual awake breaks in the sleep edit settings. Even better if you could add sleep there. I don’t really understand why you have to go searching around your sleep stats/sleep coach to find the add a nap button when there’s the 3-dots in the top. Add the option to add another sleep or nap up there. Garmin, please respond!
