When will be the sleep widget available?

The current sleeping tracking in F245 is quite inaccurate, and noticed that the FirstBeat sleeping algorithm has been deployed in some Garmin devices some months ago. Don't know any chance for F245? And any targeted schedule?

All,

Garmin strives to maintain products in the field by providing software updates that fix bugs and occasionally even provide new features that were not originally present. We regret that we cannot always…

I guess it was a lie in the end.

Exactly. The current sleeping algorithm seems quite inaccurate. For me, sleeping widget is not important, but I need an accurate sleeping algorithm.

Yes, all 245,745 and 945 were supposed to get offline sleep tracking with an on the watch widget by Firstbeat. 745 and 945 were also supposed to get a sleep score.

Side note: Venu 2 was released today with Firstbeat offline sleep tracking and sleep score.

The offline sleep tracking by FirstBeat and sleeping score are not the same thing??

They 2 separate features/modules. It's like how the 245 has training load but not training load balance.

Firstbeat actually has 4 different sleep features. Not sure why the F6 did not get sleep coach... www.firstbeatanalytics.com/.../

Doesn't look like it's gonna happen. The Sleep Widget is missing from the last beta

Why is everyone so obsessed with the sleep widget? Other than a score out of 100 what will it provide that the current sleep tracking doesn't already?

It's way more accurate and you can see the sleep directly on the watch itself (how it is now, you have to sync your watch with Garmin Connect which will process the data on its servers, and then you can view your sleep in Garmin Connect, never on the watch itself).

More accurate sleep data also means more accurate recovery status and body battery.

So basically a better sleep algorithm as opposed to a widget
