Sleep Data Without Wearing Watch

GS
over 2 years ago

Last couple of nights, sleep data recorded while watch just sitting on the table. First time ever this happened, on any Garmin watch I've owned. Forums from many years ago reference problem occurring due to the GC and back-end server method of capturing sleep data. Anyone else experiencing this problem? It would seem Garmin would have worked this out by now.

I know there are workarounds like adjusting sleep hours and/or editing sleep data, but unnecessary extra work to me. Sometimes, I do wear the watch to capture sleep data but mostly do not.

    Happened last night to not wear my fr 255(fw 14.20) for the first time after almost 4 months of daily sleep track, and it did not record sleep as you would expect from not wearing it.

    Tried to reboot? Did the watch record some hr data, steps or other stuff during the time you did'n wear it?

    Interesting that the watch did, and is continuing to, record HR data when I'm not wearing it. Must be a ghost. I did a re-boot to see if that stops the continuous HR recording. Below shows some erroneous sleep HR data, followed by running activity HR data (when watch was worn), followed by rest of day HR data when watch just sat on table.

    It's been happening to me very often. I had set my bed time to 23:00. Watch face changes to sleep mode (which is ok), however even if I'm  not in bed, but quite, like watching tv or reading a book in bed, the watch assumes I'm sleeping and starts tracking my suppose sleep. And it counts as stress periods. I have to edit most of the time my sleep track.

    What if you try to run an health snapshot test when not wearing the watch? does it record hr, hrv,  breath and pulse ox ?

    When I take my watch off, I put it upside down. This disables the sensor LEDs on the back of the watch after a few seconds.

    Re-booted watch. No more HR and sleep data while not wearing watch. No idea of original cause of erroneous HR and sleep data.
