Know before you buy
The L/XL designation refers to the size of the band or strap included with the monitor, designed to accommodate larger wrist or ankle circumferences. It is best suited for users who typically find standard-sized fitness trackers too tight or restrictive for comfortable overnight wear.
No, you do not need to keep your phone nearby or connected throughout the night. The monitor stores your sleep data locally and syncs it wirelessly to the Garmin Connect app via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth once you are within range or open the app the next morning.
The device uses a combination of your movement, heart rate variability, and sleep stage data—such as light, deep, and REM sleep—to generate a score from 0 to 100. This number provides a quick snapshot of your sleep quality, which you can then break down in the Garmin Connect app to see exactly which factors impacted your rest.
Yes, the monitor is crafted from a soft, breathable silicone or fabric blend specifically chosen for long-term wear. It is lightweight and designed to be unobtrusive, so it shouldn't irritate your skin or disrupt your sleep while you're wearing it.
Yes, the built-in pulse oximeter sensor tracks your SpO2 levels while you sleep. This data is integrated into your overall health report in the app, helping you identify potential breathing disturbances or patterns that might be affecting your recovery.
