You're right and I do. See the link in my signature ;)

Do tell what you will do with this data? Flawed science and data at that. If it says you only slept for 5 hours instead of 6 or 7 what will you do? As you can tell it's a pet hate of mine and such massively flawed data. Firstly they are pretty poor at doing the job and secondly the data they are gathering isn't all that useful.

Before the Apple Watch, I used to use a sleep monitoring app on my phone and I stopped that when I got the watch. When I realised that it really was absolutely zero value whatsoever, I stopped wearing my watch to bed.

Thanks for the video, watching it now.
 
I’ve had the same opinion for a while too, the data isn’t useful and could be harmful. If you start to worry about the numbers which in turn give you trouble sleeping. Also having my wrist breath for 8 hours away from the Watch really helps me avoid getting agitated skin.

As someone that actually had to have sleep therapy for a good period of time to get back into good habits using a watch to track your sleep is laughable.

This woman will teach you more about how you should be sleeping than your poor monitor on your wrist :)


There's another one from the whoop founder and iirc he states how much more data that collects than a watch to try and collect anything like meaningful data.

Ever since having children 16 years ago I never have more than 3-4 straight sleep, only really insterested as I'm interested, I know if I feel tired, rested etc

How are you getting on with your Ultra, @iMacMart

Love it, size is a bit off putting at first but I am loving it now, did a CrossFit session this AM tracked, got a run out this weekend so will see how the battery compare to my S7, just need to figure out how to get the cell side organized as I hate running with a phone, I actually don't normally but if I (for whatever reason) need to make a call I'm screwed if I'm 5 miles from home :D

Enjoying the strap too, colour really pops ... Might get a more formal metal one if I go "out out" which isn't much these days!
 
Going back to the sleep data, it appears I've been standing up in my sleep according to the Apple Watch. Perhaps I'm going sleepwalking and not even aware! :D

Then again, I just had a thought - it's probably when I go for a wee in the middle of the night.

I have a 2/3am pee as I'm getting older and hate laying in bed with a full bladder! Wife sleeps like the dead so she doesn't stur ...

AWU came off charge at 8am this morning, did a CrossFit class for an hour (tracked) then went for a 45min walk with the hound, lots of alerts and such and its still on 77% - so far so good

My Ultra strap is already looking a bit dirty although it could be the rigged shape? Any good alternatives?

Mine's getting a bit manky (trail loop) from all the sweat whilst running so I bought a cheap sport loop for £8.99 from Amazon. It looks identical to an official one but way cheaper. I don't know how they do it unless Apple's markup is just bonkers.
