Sleep tracking is really bad

Garmin loves to tell their (now previous) customer base to kindly invest additional 1000's of euros for a basic function like on device sleep tracking... Outrageous!!!!

And on more thing: The device itself has no airplane mode! It means it acts like a bluetooth beacon 27/4, leaking radiation and causing damage to your body!

This company only cares about selling hardware with choked sofware, caused by greed and a lack of vision... I miss Apple and their way of treating and respecting their customers AND products...

Yes. You know what's funny?

Found it interesting how the FR245 got sleep tracking. The venu/va4 are in the same price bracket and are more targeted towards features like lifestyle, which sleep falls under. At this point, the 245 is probably the watch with the most value because of how many new firstbeat stuff got added on to it after its initial release. Kind of salty because the 245 already has way more firstbeat algorithms and isn’t even targeted towards “health/wellness/lifestyle” and is at a comparable price. In the case of the Venu, the 245 is less expensive. Lmao'd. They use the logic that the Venu doesn't have training effect and training load because it isn't a training watch, but the 245 gets confirmation of firstbeat sleep tracking coming to it? Then bring training load and training effect to the Venu/VA4 because *** doesnt make sense. You would assume that a device marketed towards lifestyle health and wellness  SLEEP Tracking would be higher on the priority list. *** this

Lmao and the cheaper 245 gets more updates. Got it. It gets something (sleep widget) that it shouldn't even have, given it's a training watch. Some people want a better looking watch with a better display. When the watch is marketed as having "Advanced Sleep Monitoring" on the website as a main selling point, yet on the Forerunner 245 it doesn't mention sleep anywhere on the buying page and it still gets advanced sleep, that is just ***. https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/628939 vs https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/643260 . Just scroll down

I have a Mi Band 4, something that cost me less than 30 USD and it has better sleep tracking than this

Whatever other problems the unit and the company might have, the radiation the watch is capable of will do zero damage to your body.
