Is something wrong with the SLEEP TRACKING capabilities?
-
I just bought the watch 2 days back and the sleep tracking seems to be way off. This morning it is saying I slept for only 2 hours… which is ridiculous. Does anyone know if there will be a software update soon or if Suunto is doing anything about it? If not I might just have to return the watch.

The watch usually does what it is designed for.
If you are walking in the sleep or something else, it cannot detect this as sleep.But just to make sure: have you set your usual sleeping times correctly and are you also sleeping with the watch on your wrist during this time?
For me nothing is wrong and the watch is spot on registering my sleeping times.
Though as with steps, I have never understood why I would need my watch to record this, as I know myself, when I woke up… -

I like to know overnight HRV and how far my overall HR dipped overnight.
I also have cats that sometimes wake me briefly in the middle of the night. It’s minorly useful to know whether that happened at 3am or 4am, etc. as typically they leave us alone until 6am or later. I guess I could keep pen and paper by the bed and jot it down when it happens, but I’m usally just wanting to go back to sleep as quickly as possible.

@raven I’ve got Vertical (which does not offer very detailed analysis) and I used to get unbelievably bad total sleep hours. With my epilepsy I’d probably be dead with those recorded hours. But then… I once tried to turn the watch around to the underside of my wrist. Since then the results have been pretty much spot on.
I guess the problems were due to thick skin or bad sleeping positions so that HR measurement was getting interrupted.

@Syed-Alam when did you check the sleep data? And where, on the watch or in the app?
-
@Syed-Alam This has been working well for me for some time now. Make sure that sleep is set up appropriately and the watch may need a couple of days. I rarely but do have nights where my sleep is registered as a nap.

rarely, I got the sleep tracked as nap for the first time of the night and separately the rest of the night as sleep. More frequently, at wake up, if I tap on the sleep widget at first I just see the a short nap, but when I close the widget and open it again then I can see that the whole night was tracked as sleep, with no nap. Maybe this happens every now and then because I often wake up a couple of hours or so after having started to sleep.

At least from the manual HR is not used for sleep measurement. Only wrist movements.

@Syed-Alam Set your HR rest to the minimum detected by Suunto, and also set the hours when you usually sleep.

I don’t think this is linked to the sleep tracking
