I have barely had this brand new, expensive watch for a month, and I have noticed yet ANOTHER defect. The Forerunner 265S is marketed as having an automatic nap detection feature. Great! Let's see how it works:
- I take a short nap in the middle of the day.
- The watch detects it.
- Garmin Connect syncs and shows that I had a short nap, at the correct times.
- I see it and think all is well.
- I go back the next day and see that Garmin Connect has deleted the nap, all on its own, without asking me, without confirming this with me, and without my telling it to do so.
- And now that I look further back, it has deleted practically all of the naps I've ever taken!
- AND, because Garmin Connect is infallible and knows better than me, the actual human user . . . it refuses to let me add those naps back to prior days. You can only "edit" naps for the current day, not past days. That's great, it really locks in mistakes and Garmin's own hallucinations, love to see it.
Every day, I notice another baffling choice that was made with this product. Deleting naps that have already been recorded seems like a bug; it can be fixed. Refusing to let users edit their own data for prior days is very much an intentional choice.
If I ever wanted to use my old nap data for anything (how do naps affect my subsequent sleep, how do they affect my exercise, etc.), I couldn't. Don't market a feature if it's so bad as to be less than worthless. A lot of us relied on the marketing promises in thinking we would actually get functioning nap detection and recording.
