sleep and body battery question

do you see the body battery graph on the watch?

No, nor on the website. Same with any sleep

Do you see if it ever worked? There was a firmware update around 10 days ago, do you see the missing data if you go back 2 weeks or more?

I can't do that. I just tried it for a couple of days. It belongs to my wife and she never used it for sleep. We both have fitbits for that. I want to see if Garmin BB is better.If so I would get a 245. My Garmin, a 645, does not have BB but it does record sleep.

Did you check if Activity tracking is turned on to track sleep (and obviously body battery) ?

Thank you.

I had a Fitbit before the 245 and the Fitbit tracking is MUCH better. The Garmin records all the time I am in bed as sleeping, even if I am restless, and sometimes if I am lying in bed reading. It works for me as my occupation requires me to have "eight hours of prone rest" which it duly logs, but stick to the Fitbit if you want the REM/deep/light/awake tracking to resemble your actual night.

I hope I'll never fly with you :) Does your employer check your sleep time by looking at your watch?

I have the same experience. Fitbit gives very reasonable figures, while the Forerunner 245 and earlier on the Vivoactie 4S almost don't detect deep sleep and register the movie I watch before going to bed already as "light sleep" and walking around as "REM".

The unbelievable stupidity of Garmin is to ask users to set fixed bedtime and waking hours. That doesn't make sense for someone who wants to measure exactly that, does it? I was ready to ditch my Fitbit device but this is the reason I keep it as my main health tracker, and use the FR 245 only for sports.

As this must be software related, I hope an update will solve this, but I see that the question is unanswered for two years, so it's probably wishful thinking.

There is a new sleep tracking algorithm but that was only pushed to 745, 945 and F6 users.
