Sleep is recorded every night when I don't wear the watch

I do not have any interest in the sleep tracking on the Venu and I do not wear the watch to bed. Every night since I've gotten it, it has recorded at least 7 hours of sleep for me. When I go to bed, I take it off and put it on my desk downstairs so that I don't forget to put it on in the morning.

Is anyone else getting phantom sleep and is there anything that can be done about it other than deleting it each morning? This is the second Venu I've had and the other one did it too.

This do not surprise me. In my opinion Garmin sleep tracking is totally fake... Nothing comparable with other brand.

I agree, which is why I don't use it. But it should not be recording sleep while it is not on my wrist.

Have you switched your Venu off when you take it off? Mine does not track phantom sleep but then again I switch it off if I'm not going to wear it to preserve the battery

I shut the Venu off yesterday morning and I still had sleep recorded this morning! I have both a Fenix 6 and a Venu right now. I'm trying to decide between the two of them I've had the Fenix 6 for three weeks and the sleep thing didn't start until I got the Venu so I assumed it was the Venu. Tonight I will shut both watches off and see what's there in the morning.

I agree. My watch has been recording sleep the last week whilst not wearing it, it didn't record it before.

Just shows how crap the sleep tracking is, not wearing it means no heart beat, so the watch should be able to tell it's not being worn or the person is dead, either way not sleeping.

Makes you think the whole Garmin way of sleep tracking is fake

Same thing with me. But it has only started happening since 12 December. Not sure if there was an update then that caused this problem

Don't suppose Garmin read these forums and fix the issues they create?

They do occasionally, but for the most part this is a user-to-user forum.
